Yes, Bill gave me tomato seeds that make me wish it were Spring again! He
gave me a Hungarian paste tomato also from which I carefully took seed. It
was the highlight of our vacation as the fishing surely wasn't any good.
BTW, when I take tomato seed, I scrape it into a jar of water, shake the
he** out of it and let it set for a day or two. Then I save / air-dry only
the seed that sinks to the bottom. Is this the way others save tomato
seed? I haven't used this method for other seed though. Is the method
applicable to other veggie seeds, e.g., peppers?
