Methods of saving tomato seed

[Good Mind Seeds]

please share your experience with harvesting and storing tomato seeds here. there are many methods but almost all of them center around the fermentation of the tomato seed in order to remove the fleshy sac that surrounds it along with the germination-inhibiting chemicals it contains. fermentation also reduces the risks of pathogens from the mother surviving to the offspring. it may seem daunting at first but once you try it you can see how easy it is. photos welcome!
