  • Solanum lycopersicum 

  • Growing Instructions 

    • Start indoors about 6 weeks before the final frost 

    • Sow seeds in rows about 12-36" apart with a depth of ½"  

    • Warm, moist soil will help promote germination  

    • Full sunlight is needed  

    • A cage, stake, or trellis is good for support  

    • Ready to harvest approximately 80-100 days from transplant 

  • Seed Saving 

    • Select the best looking, ripe tomatoes from the vine  

    • Slice open the fruit and scoop seeds into a clean jar  

    • Cover seeds with water and allow to sit for two to four days, placing them in a jar with a cover or placing a paper towel over the top of the jar is best practice  

    • Viable seeds will sink to the bottom of the jar, while bad seeds and the remaining pulp will rise to the top 

    • Once everything has separated, dispose of the pulp and bad seeds on the surface of the water  

    • Fully rinse the remaining seeds in cold water 

    • Allow seeds to dry fully, in a warm area, for several days  

    • Seeds should be stored in a cool, dry place and are viable for several years
