Tomatoes, tomatillos, zucchini - taken July 3 2010

And finally, the miracle of the tomato. In September, I harvested seeds from some local tomatoes. In March, I got some sprouts. And now the enormous thriving plants are starting to make fruit!
holy mother of purl. magic!
ReplyDeleteI heard you have to ferment harvested tomato seeds to make them grow. Is that true? I've never been able to successfully plant any tomatoes from seed. I'm kind of a pathetic gardener, but I'm learning ;)
It's actually pretty easy! I gave an overview of seed harvesting here http://bookishbiker.blogspot.com/2009/10/tomato-update.html and there's a link from that post to the resource I used.
