All of the seeds in picture below were saved like Carolyn's book says. They were all started on the same day in the same hour. They all fermented well and were all put on their paper plates at the same time/day. I couldn't help but notice the Snow White seeds being darker in color. The book says I fermented them a little too long, but will grow just fine.
I'm curious if Snow White seeds just happen to be darker in color? Or is it - Some tomato seeds need less time fermenting than others? |

Crap, I didn't know there was already a tomato called Amish Gold. I have a yellow tomato I got from some Amish in Kentucky, and I have been calling it that at market. It's been a great performer, and done better than the hybrid variety Carolina Gold.
I guess I can go back to calling it 'Amish Bicolor' even though that's not as catchy. |

Marsha, some will go to the MMMM. I mostly saved that many because it was fun learning how.
The picture is kind of blurry, but those are just part of the ones I packaged this morning. Here's the rest |

Out of hundreds of market customers, I can remember only one who was a seed-saver and really into heirlooms. You people have no idea how advanced you are in comparison to the typical tomato grower. Seed-saving is way over the head of most people. My own family used to tell me it was impossible before I found this web site.

I'm just happy to get my stepdad to finally stop lecturing me that Carolina Gold is the best yellow tomato in the world. He didn't understand why I was giving him plants of an heirloom variety to grow. Now he does, and he wants to grow it instead.

With potato seeds, I notice big differences in seed color between varieties. I suppose that tomatoes are similar. There are inherent differences in color, and there are environmental factors. They work together to arrive at a final color for the seeds.
