Before they reach the cold and the tomatoes begin to decline have left to mature tomato varieties that are most worth preserving me, either for good behavior or because they try hard to get seeds and preserve them interested me, though result was not desired.
is actually the first time I go to collect my own seeds for the garden, at least a somewhat serious as I seem to remember how it was when it all started two summers ago I got to plant a seed a tomato that had just given a good account in a pot the terrace and the result was not encouraging anything because of my complete ignorance on the subject as it surely was not only planted a tomato hybrid but also put three seeds in a pot and the result was that left three beautiful tomatoes that did not not a single tomato. The following year I went back to try another tomato that at least seemed to have better flavor and aroma and to top it left a single pot, and behold my downfall because that year I ate my first tomatoes and since then I have to admit that I could not stop.
Returning to the present and already have some finer technique step by counting the way that I consider to be the most effective, so read and consulted on several sources:
1. I choose tomatoes that within the limits of the parameters are normal in size, that is neither large nor small. Some say it is best to pick the seeds of the first fruits because they are stronger and seed quality is better, but I'm looking primarily fruit is that they have been given a little time to adapt to the climatic conditions in my area which is the main reason why I decide to collect my own seed, also goes without saying that I do to save costs (and is more professional and is not a stingy)
2. Saco seeds with pulp, some people do this with a spoon in a somewhat more delicate but I prefer to use unorthodox methods, ie using the technique known Crushers making an incision in the tomato and squeezing as if to squeezing an orange. Eye to the stomach difficult because the resulting scenario may be similar to a scene in Psycho ... tomato juice everywhere and is a victim mutilada.Luego remorse for wasting not going pa'dentro.
3. In a glass vessel I put the seeds with the pulp and leave them until a layer of mold coat the mixture. This may seem a bit asquerosito, because not only commit crime but also live with the victim until they are moth-eaten but in reality we do is protect it from bacteria while the seeds are kept waiting for his return to life.
4. After removing the mold layer (this time if you use the spoon) we viscosity of seeds and pulp into a colander and place under running tap water for the seeds are free of pulp and impurities.
5. Let it dry completely, preferably on absorbent cloth instead of paper to remove the seeds may remain embedded pieces of paper.
The store in a cool, dry place away from light sources.
6. Until next year. (God willing)
Seeds with freshly extracted pulp
