Printer-friendly versionHERE ARE SOME TIPS I READ ABOUT FOR COLLECTING VEGGIE SEEDS. THOUGHT THEY WERE WORTH SHARING!!..........
BEANS............
Wait until the seeds dry and the pods start to open............
CUCUMBERS............
Wait for the fruit to ripen. Then squeeze out the pulp (with the seeds) into a container. Add a small amount of water and let the pulp ferment for two to four days at room temperature, stirring occasionally. Dead seeds will float to the top of the water; discard them. When the good seeds sink to the bottom of the jar, pour off the pulp. Repeat if necessary to thoroughly clean the seeds. Then spread seeds out to dry..........
MELONS................
Seed is ripe when the fruit is ripe. Simply separate the seeds and rinse them with water. Dry them in a warm spot..............
PEAS...........
Wait until the seeds dry and the pods start to open.............
PEPPERS..............
Harvest seed when fruit is thoroughly ripe (most varieties will turn red and begin to shrivel). Remove seeds from fruit and allow seeds to dry in a warm, dry spot...........
TOMATOES..............
Wait for the fruit to ripen. Then squeeze out the pulp (with the seeds) into a container. Add a small amount of water and let the pulp ferment for two to four days at room temperature, stirring occasionally. Dead seeds will float to the top of the water; discard them. When the good seeds sink to the bottom of the jar, pour off the pulp. Repeat if necessary to thoroughly clean the seeds. Then spread seeds out to dry.
