Hello fellow gardeners,

Did you know that fermenting tomato seeds can help you preserve the best traits of your favorite tomato varieties for future planting? This age-old technique not only improves seed viability but also reduces the risk of disease transmission. Fermenting helps break down the gel coating around the seeds, which can inhibit germination if left intact.

Curious about how to do it? Check out our latest YouTube video where we show you how to save tomato seeds by fermenting. This method is simple, effective, and a great way to ensure a bountiful tomato harvest year after year.

Watch the video below for step-by-step instructions and expert tips:

I learned about fermenting tomato seeds right after I found the forum.

I am still on the fence as to whether this step is necessary.
