It's easy to collect your own seeds for next year. I try to collect
as many types as possible, since seeds can be quite expensive, but also
cause its the way to do it to be self sufficient.
A couple of days ago - on a rainy day - I prepared seeds for tomatoes and pepper. I took some seeds from store bought fruits.
I put the seeds onto pieces of kitchen towel to let them dry for a couple of days.
The reason I use kitchen towel is, that it dissolves easily. Seeds from tomatoes for instance, will stick to any surface, so when the seeds are dry, they are like glued to the surface. Thats okay, cause when using kitchen towel (or toilet paper) You can just cut or snip your homemade seeds off the paper.
I store my seeds in anything, as long as its made from paper. An old envelope, folded paper etc. NO plastic bags or similar, if the seeds are not dry enough, they will rot.
Allways remember to mark the seeds, and there You go :-) Homemade seeds for the kitchen garden ready to use next year :-)
