How to save tomato seeds form your heirloom varieties ☝️While volunteer tomato seedlings happily grow from dropped or composted fruit, if you want to store the seed for next year it’s best to process them.
The idea with the fermentation is to mimic what happens naturally when a fruit decomposes. It will ensure the gelatinous membrane protecting the seed is removed, meaning they will store well without the risk of them going mouldy or sticking together. The jelly also contains inhibitors that can stop seed from germinating.

Most tomato varieties are safe to save seeds from, unless they are F1 varieties. Just keep in mind that some large beefsteak types are formed from mega blooms that are several single flowers fused together. This may lead to cross pollination as the female parts of the flower is sometimes exposed on these atypical blooms. This is also sometimes the case with certain potato leaved tomato varieties, so observe the flowers before saving seeds.
