This was the first year I worked on extensive seed collecting. I blogged about collecting tomato seeds and the need to ferment them, a bit back, for about 5-7 days. Well, I test germinated all the seeds (I fermented for the blog entry) and the germination rate was really high. These seeds sat wrapped in wet towels for about 10 days. I wanted to give them a good amount of time to check viability. If you check them in 5-7 days you will know if they are germinating. A few extra days lets the straggles catch up.

The photographs above are some pictures from the original blog. You can see the whole blog on tomato seed fermenting at this link:
Fermenting Tomato Seeds. Below are my recently germinated tomato seeds. Woohoo! So far so good.

Now there are a lot more but I guess once you've seen two germination tests of tomato seeds, you have seen them all. I'll spare you.
