Hey my garden friends

I was wondering how to make my own seeds , Like can I just open up a tomato and take out the seeds dry them in the sun and plant them, how about onions or potatoes ? Any ideas for making my own seeds will be greatly appreciated and I thank you in advance for our help.

You squeeze the seeds out of the tomato into a jar of water. You wait for it to go rancid and stinky. Than you pour off the *mold film that floats to the top of the water and separate the tomatos in a strainer. Let them dry out and put in a envelop or clean jar.

Don't try to grow Potatoes from seed, you might end up poisoning yourself.

Onions are not a problem, just hang the flower head upside down in a paper bag and keep it somewhere to dry.

Fermenting tomato seeds may be fun, but I've found it unnecessary.

Just spread the seeds out on paper kitchen towel and allow them to dry.
Store them air and water tight, then tear up and "sow" the paper towel as you would the seeds.
