Last fall when I was inundated with cherry tomatoes, I took a couple of the really ripe ones and smeared them onto a paper towel to dry.
These are the seeds I will use to repeat the crop I had last year. This time I am going to be starting only about half of the amount I grew last year. Having 36 tomato plants producing is just too many, I could not give them away fast enough. (Last year was also the first year that I did not lose a single plant to dampening off, or fungus, or the will to live. Every seed that sprouted lived and I even gave away plants at several stages of their growth before planting my own garden.)
I know this is crazy early to begin sprouting the seeds but I want the plants to be gallon sized with blossoms on them before they get transplanted into the garden. Last year I began on January 1 so I am actually late this year.
