seed saving question

macmanmatty · June 26, 2007

Hello, I have a few questions about saving tomato seeds. Once the seeds have fermented and I wash them off and it's time to dry them can I dry them in dehydrator (like pepper seeds) or should I just let dry in open air? or have fan on them? If I can use a dehydrator what should I set the temp to? and How long should I dehydrate them for? any help would be appreacted.

Thanks

Let them dry naturally in the shade. I put the rinsed seeds on a paper plate and set it somewhere out of the way indoors for a week or two. You can write the name of the variety right on the paper plate.
