How do you collect and preserve tomato seeds from this year's crop for planting next season?
Do you know what variety the tomatoes you are growing this year are? If your tomatoes are from hybrid plants, you won't get the same plants next year as you have now. If you're not sure you can still try saving the seed and just find out next year and it may well be worth your time and effort! Take a fully ripe tomato and cut in half. Scrape out the seeds onto a piece of wax paper. Try to get seeds with as little pulp as possibe and they will be easier to handle. Spread the seeds in a single layer with a little space between them. Leave the paper with the seeds on it where it can completely dry. The seeds can be removed from the wax paper and stored in a small zip close bag or you can just fold up the wax paper and store it in a small bag. Seeds should be stored in a place where it is dry and the temperature is cool and pretty much constant. Your seeds won't look like the ones that come out of a package but they will grow every bit as well.
