Are they clumped because they weren't spread out to dry? If they aren't spread out, they will be clumpy. Simply break them apart and make sure they are completely dry before storing them. The coating you see is also normal. I would not try to referment them, they might actually sprout at this point. The type of tomato doesn't matter when it comes to saving seeds, however, I'm curious what type of tomato you are so pleased with. I always like to hear what others are growing and which are their favorites!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17266816805551915978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4829007408239084283.post-55549934301766997932011-12-27T17:15:56.012-08:002011-12-27T17:15:56.012-08:00I have recently tried saving seeds using a method ...I have recently tried saving seeds using a method very similar to yours...except the directions I followed advised to close the lid on the jar and leave them for a week or longer. They never got moldy...go figure. I live in a colder climate and I've read that might inhibit mold growth? I rinsed the seeds after awhile anyway, and bc they soaked for so long the outer jelly like coating came off, so I was hopeful. I dried them and they are quite clumpy and not so brittle. They sort of look like they have a very fine salt coating too. Will these seeds grow? Can I put them back in a jar and try fermenting your way? I hate to lose the seeds..these were my best tomatoes.a tramp abroadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02295904436469116572noreply@blogger.com
