Hi there! I'm so exited to be part of this group! Here is my first post for you nature lovers .
Today I'll show you how to collect your own tomato seeds. This way you can become independent from the seed market and to have the seeds from the plant that already adapt to your ecosystem .You will have even better yield next year. Be gentle, nice and grateful when you interact with your seeds. They keep your positive energy in them. SO they are not only seeds , they are YOUR SEEDS :) Your future food. The food of your children and hopefully your grandchildren...
Here is what to do for your first DIY seed saving:
Find the best and very good ripen tomatoes from the plant. Pick them.
Than take out the seeds and put them in jar with the liquid around.
Cover the jar with a breathable cloth (to keep away the insects, old cotton t-shirt works great).
Wait 24-48 h ,to start little fermentation in the jars ,when they start to be smelly...it's time to rinse up the seeds and remove any little parts.
Spread the seeds in a flat plate . Wait for them to dry.
Put the dry seeds in boxes, jars or zip bags. Keep away from sunlight and outside factors (rats, insects..).I keep my seeds in paper, zip-lock bags and little jars - ALL in a big plastic box - very well closed.
Here with my photos i present you - How I collect my seeds from cucumber - cornichons and tomatoes - purple cherry, yellow submarine ( yellow pears) and orange tomato.
I hope it was helpful for you - people of the nature!
Have a nice day and be happy !
Thank you my friends: @iliyan90 , @sillvie , @didivelikova

Making seed banks and renewing them annually is a task that we should all do, even and more importantly, do it from a young age. Having our own seeds, free of genetic manipulation is a vital task to keep us connected with Mother Earth. I really liked your post, it is very didactic and simple to understand. Greetings.
Thank you so much ! I'm happy to meet people like you here in HIVE, open minded and nature thinking , with peace and love in the Heart ❤

Благодаря , добре заварил!
Някои снимки са от Кюстендилско, където имах градина това лято.Сега сме в Добруджа:) Скоро мисля да споделя пост с дългогодишния ми опит и различните градини , които съм създала - там където съм живяла.
И ти ли имаш градина ? В кой район?

Сега градините ми си почиват :)
