Which means gardeners can easily save and share seedsand grow their favorite varietiesyear after year.
Beginning with explaining the difference between heirloom, open-pollinated, and hybrid tomatoes, this class teaches everything you need to know to save healthy, true-to-type tomato seedsincluding growing healthy tomatoes. A step-by-step demonstration of the fermentation process used to clean tomato seeds will leave you confident to harvest tomato seeds from your own garden.
