"How-To" Save Tomato Seeds

Have you ever wondered how to save your own tomato seeds? CMN SDI Education Coordinator Kate Flick wrote a fun poem to teach you how! 

A Poem For You: An Experiment To Do!   All On Seed Saving...."Tomato Craving!"




First thing that you do is pick your tomato favorite; Cut it wright open and sort the slimy seeds out of it.


Next what you do is put the seeds in a cup and with some fresh water, fill it right up.


For a week, let it sit, to scum and to bubble, To help kill and ferment the seed-disease trouble.


Then swipe away that bubbly gunk, Sieve the seeds, rinse them off till they're clear of that funk.


Put them on plate or on paper to dry them in the air, Turn them every while to be sure they're real dry fare.


Put them in an envelope for simple seed saving, Thats all it takes to fulfill a healthy tomato craving.


For you save them now till spring of next year, and you'll be able to grow your own tomatear!
