Re: Heirloom gardens - how do you harvest and save the seeds?
If you want green to go to seed, this heat will do it! The leaves tend to get bitter after flowering.
When I'm saving seeds for the next year, I usually put them in a ziploc bag with a small piece of paper towel inside, just in case there is some moisture. Seeds that you buy are just in paper envelopes.
To save tomato seeds, you get the seeds out and get as much of the fleshy fruit off as possible, then let dry thoroughly.
I usually don't save tomato seeds, though, but I've done it a few times. Next year I am going to order blondkopfchen tomato seeds.
