    Holy cow look at you six and a half years ago! I hadnt went back this far in your videos before, so I was a little taken back when I saw teenage (just guessing) Luke pop into frame. Really shows your dedication to gardening/farming and to educating people for you to have been doing this since you were a kid...literally! My 2 sons are not quite interested in the green thumb experience, but my daughter loves it and hopefully will stick with it like you have. For my birthday, the boys got me video games, while she got me large tubs to plant in, new gardening tools, and tomato cages! Gotta love the passion! Oh...and great video lol!

    I just saved the seeds from some brown cherry tomatoes and put them in strainer and rinsed them in water very well and then dried them with a paper towel and placed them on a plate for about a week and then planted them and they all sprouted nicely and are little 2 ' tall tomato plants already.

    Great video! I will try this method for saving seeds. I have used paper towels in the past. I put the seeds with gel on a paper towel until it dries. The gel is absorbed into paper towel. I fold the paper towel and place it in an envelope labeled with the tomato type. In the spring, I tear off a small piece of paper towel, water and watch the tomatoes grow! LyNette R. In CO

As I was cutting some up for a cucumber tomato salad, I thought to myself I’d like to saves some SEEDs to grow some this spring ! So hours later I turn to YOU and some other Organic Gardeners to learn from ! You are the first one I’ve turned to. And Man ! I looked at this Sweet Looking BOY /MAN person ! How fun !

    I just put the seeds into a fine strainer and wash all of the gel off of them then dry them on newspaper. Been doing this for years and most of the seeds grow just fine.

      @ashleywilliams4149 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Thanks for this tip. I dried mines a paper towel, gel and all, and the seed seems to be sprouting. I just put it in a cup and put it in between a damp paper towel in a sunny window.

    Nice video man! I like the tomato stand. I could use a sign like that. Have you thought about selling at a local farmers market? The atmosphere is great and people love heirloom tomatoes. In Missouri, they sell for about $2.50-$4/lb depending on the market. There is also a great alternative to the USDA organic program for direct market farmers called "Certified Naturally Grown". CNG is much cheaper and less paper work. Oh, keep the tomatoes stem side down on your table. Great seed saving vid too

  • @groovee63
    @groovee63 8 ปีที่แล้ว +21

    I am certainly NOT criticizing your method at all, but this is too much trouble...I take my heirloom ,my best ones and maybe a little over ripe, cut them open AVOID CUTTING THE SEEDS
    , and damp them on paper towels, sun dry ,until dry,usually a few hours ( make sure the seeds and paper towel are completely dry)...THEN role the paper towel up and store them in a sandmich bag and store in a drawer somewherez...Upon germinating, I simple tear the number of seeds you need off , dampin the seeds, role them off paper towel into seed starter immediately ..OR plant the paper with the seeds.. nearly a 100% rate..thanks for the info!

    • @iluvmonkyez
      @iluvmonkyez 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      So they will germinate without damping the paper towel before putting them in the drawer?

    • @azblondi2730
      @azblondi2730 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Does this work, or do you need to rehydrate them before planting?

  • @ikiruyamamoto1050
    @ikiruyamamoto1050 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Did you put bags around the flowers you wanted to protect for saving seed? Or do you just roll the dice and hope your varieties don't mix and create a different variety?

    You know I've heard of this but never tried it. Thanks for breaking it down :) I can see the the up side being the crap seeds float. Though I rarely have a germination problem w/ my tom seeds. I've always just gut the seeds then throw them in the strainer. Faucet on blast to remove the gelatin, dry them on the wax paper and done.

  • @sn232

    Good Job!!!
    My Wife & I like giving a bunch of veggies to our local food Bank also!!!
    Last year & had garbage bags of beets & a lady at the Food Bank said she would take some because they were going for around $1 per beet here in Canada last year .. Crazy Hey !!!!
    Well I brought a Garbage bag to the food bank, & The lady broke down in tears thanking us while the other workers complained that "They are too big" bla bla bla..
    O well the big ones are good for preserving!!!
    Just cut them into quarters before boiling them a bit then you actually have less work because you need less beets for your jars or freezer bags!!!
    Plus I always buy a lighter beet so when they do get bigger, they do not really get woody tasting at all!!!
    Well Thanks 4 Sharing bud!!!

  • @Lizbeth120
    @Lizbeth120 12 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I noticed you grow a lot of different varieties of tomatoes. How do you isolate them so you don't risk cross pollination between the varieties?

    • @Themurphyshow7
      @Themurphyshow7 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Tomatoes self pollinate. So there isn't an issue of cross pollination like there is with other plants. xD

  • @Writer10389
    @Writer10389 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    When you’re doing bulk seed saving, do you just let the pulp ferment as well? How have you adjusted this process for the tomatoes in your seed store?

  • @jacquelinerockman3049
    @jacquelinerockman3049 9 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I very much appreciate this vid, but I have to agree with the many here suggesting you use you absolute best tomatoes for seed and instead use the funny ones (to small, scarred, etc...) for sauce or something so you keep your genetics strong over the years/generations.
    Also just an fyi because the way you say it made me smile - 'Ananas Noir' is french for Black (noir) Pineapples (ananas).

  • @JasonOfTGA

    Really enjoyed this video. I didn't go back in comments very far, so if this is a repeated question, I apologize. My question - I don't have any tomatos already homegrown; can I do this technique from tomatoes I get at the non-organic farmer's market? Or for that matter, from grocery store tomatoes?

    Thanks for the video! Do you know if the healthy mold at the top, can it be added to soil for nutrients?

  • @JoyfullyOrangeDeborah
    @JoyfullyOrangeDeborah 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Unfortunately I saw this process AFTER I had already saved lots of seeds on paper towels & they're dried. Seeds that I don't have more tomatoes to do it over the right way. What can I do with those seeds or will they grow next season? I had already done the paper towel method last year also. Yes, they are stuck in clumps but soak a clump after pulling it off the paper towel & they will separate.
    I know that hair style was popular that many years ago for your age group, but I don't miss it & I'm glad you're not still sporting it, Luke!

  • @tud-music
    @tud-music 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Is the fermentation process 100% necessary ? Is it okay to just plant the seeds (with removed pulp of course) straight into the ground? If so what would be the difference between the process and straight into the ground

    • @jacquelinerockman3049
      @jacquelinerockman3049 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Roger Sprecco I think he addressed this - the gel coat is a sprouting inhibitor and needs to be fermented away. If you can grow immediately when the tomatoes are ripe you can simply slice the tomato horizontally into slices (like you would eat) and simply plant those whole slices in the ground. the 'pulp' is necessary to break down that coating on the seeds so they can sprout!

  • @Vic5245
    @Vic5245 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Love the instructions. I didn't know that you couldn't save seeds for producing plants with hybrid plants.

  • @anndennis7163
    @anndennis7163 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Actually the fermentation step is also to help prevent diseases that may have gotten in the tomato but is impossible to see. Also you want to choose at least one tomato from 3 of the same variety and mix the seeds so you can have some diversity. Every year choose the very best examples of your favorite varieties.

    What do you put the seeds in after they come off the wax paper? I always used an envelope, but I've been told to put them in Ziploc bags and put them in the freezer.

  • @mollysmith6055
    @mollysmith6055 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    This year I picked up a starter plant 'Jet Star' and loved it so much I'd like to save the seed to grow my own next year as this variety hardly ever comes to market where I live. However it is a F1 and Dr. Internet says will not grow true from saved seeds. Yet Jet Star seeds are available from several retailers. My brain can't wrap around how they manage to get seed from the fruit but I won't? I know you are busy with the new house but I'll save the seeds from the last beautiful Jet Star tomato harvested just in case you find time to answer.

    • @Themurphyshow7
      @Themurphyshow7 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Instead of getting seeds from the f1, they repeat the process of hybridization, from the parent varieties, to get the f1. That's the only way f1 seeds are made.

    Great How to Vid! Question: Since you plant all your heirlooms in one garden, won't they cross pollinate leaving seeds of possibly questionable origin?

    • @Themurphyshow7
      @Themurphyshow7 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Tomatoes self pollinate, within a single flower, unlike many other veggies, no separation is required.

  • @nickdunin1504
    @nickdunin1504 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Does it need to FULLY ripen on the vine or can it be picked when just a little red and finish ripening inside?

    • @Themurphyshow7
      @Themurphyshow7 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm thinking that either way works, if the seeds aren't ripening on the vine, it uses the water and nutrients from the fruit to mature the seeds. After all, the plant's objective is to make seeds and this process happens naturally

  • @applepiebetty
    @applepiebetty 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Why is the mold beneficial? Do you have to have that done, to get growth later?

      +Applepiebetty not necessary. Putting the seeds in the sun has the same effect.

  • @melissawarren3534
    @melissawarren3534 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm wondering... is there any reason in particular that I shouldn't use a tomato that has started to mold to save seeds? We had so much rain this year when it should have been hot that most of my tomatoes split, and some started molding, before I could even pick them. I got rid of them, but it only took a couple of days for the good ones to start to mold, I guess because of the moisture. Just trying to figure out if I can save from my harvest, or if I should buy again next year.

    • @leinthstorm7827
      @leinthstorm7827 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      I've grown seeds successfully the following year after having mouldy tomatos, without problem. we also had a huge rain fall and ruined the tomatos, so i picked most of them to save them and they all grew ;) (I grow black tomatos so for me losing my generation would be a disaster.

    • @MIgardener

    You could be making more than just tomatoes.. At 10:12 the supposed mold appears to be a premature Scoby. Scoby is a colony of yeast used in the making of kombucha. Kombucha is a drink that is very good, I drink buddhas brew kombucha and it makes me feel great. you should think about trying to make some. Look up how to make a scoby and you will see what I mean.

    I remember a method my relatives used to use for saving tomato seeds. They would just cut a tomato in half or in quarters and leave those pieces to dry in the sun. Is this still a decent method for saving the seeds?

      Ya that's effective. A lot of people will put them in a jar for a week with a little water and let it sit. Fermenting it so that the gelatinous material surrounding the seeds will disintegrate.

      It's not necessary to lose the tomato in the process.. scrape the seeds out and eat the tomato instead!

    Can you use a dehydrator with "no heat" to dry seeds?

    I cut mine in half, the way you said not to. Then i squeeze them and all the seeds come out and it takes like 3 seconds. Then I have all the meat to use.

      I've been wondering about this, really I wish other men would appreciate the work besides feeling they are discharged of my gifts to them by money.
