Seed saving. What a magical thing.
Tomatoes. Also magical.
Aha! I have a plan! I'll save seed from this lovely delicious heirloom tomato!
Firstly... get seeds out of tomato. Ok.
Put them in a glass or jar bowl or something, add some water and cover with something porous. Leave for 3-4 days until the seeds have dropped to the bottom, there is mold on top.
Skim off the gunk, and add water; decant off more gunk until there are just seeds left.
Rinse the seeds in a fine sieve.
Dry the seeds for 1-3 days in a bowl or plate; move the seeds twice a day so they don't stick together and dry evenly.
Put them in an envelope in a jar until the time comes to plant some more!
I've just put the seeds into a glass and covered with scrap paper. I'll let you know how it goes!!
