Good morning gardeners. I Hope all is well with you, your gardens and your endeavors. To make saving your prized tomato seeds easier than ever try using some Oxy-Clean. Oxy-Clean? Yep the same stuff that Billy Mays pushed in all those TV commercials! Thanks to Freeper who knows what evil? for the heads up on this easy to do technique. Here is a link to a web page that describes the procedure - Saving Tomato Seeds
Now how easy is that?
If you are a gardener or you are just starting out and are in need of advice or just encouragement please feel free to join in and enjoy the friendly discussion. Our Freeper community is full of gardeners, each with varying interests and skill levels from Master Gardener to novice.
I hope all your gardens are flourishing.
This pie is good for breakfast, lunch, or dinner and I didi not notice any “gel around the seeds” at all. LOL :) Try the Sargento blend of 5 Italian white cheeses. Already grated and measured. Mmmmm-mmmmm-good. Easy. Serve with salad for lunch, or dinner. Add a side of meat. Very flexible.
Some great info and recipes at that link you provided! Thanks
Has Jack enjoyed working on all the projects?
Yes. I want to try the Asparagus-Cheese Strata. I actually stole the newspaper with all these articles from the local fast food restaurant, (it was on the way to the garbage) but then I found the whole feature published on line and wanted to share. It kept me from re-typing all of it.
How to Freeze Tomatoes From Your Garden
The above is a link to an illustrated page on preserving and handling fresh tomatoes.
You post the best links about food. I’m going to make one of those tomato pies this weekend. Think I’ll use cojack.
Growing Season is still in the future here in S. Florida...Too hot!
Hi, Red Devil! For anyone interested in the article about saving tomato seeds and the Oxy Clean... click on the site and then click on “saving tomato seeds” on the left. Just as a side note, I love the Oxy Clean product and can’t tell you how many clothes that I have saved because of using it. That is neither here nor there but a helpful tidbit.
Red Devil loves blondes? Or, Blondes have more fun with Red Devil? I guess I can blend the two and call it “Strawberry Blonde Bodacious Beer”. (I should stop now before I get into trouble!)
I have been using this Oxi-Clean method on tomato seeds all week...works like a charm! Instead of having dozens of yogurt cups and such containing yucky fermenting glop all over the kitchen; I can clean thousands of seeds every day, and keep them neatly stacked on paper plates in a bay window. My wife is tickled pink!
On the stove is a huge pot of 'maters simmering for sauce to can.
Thank you and good luck.
Ditto...we’ve been pumping out roasted tomato sauce all week...

We cooked our first corm on Monday and it was a little immature but it is near it's peak now and coming on fast. People we haven't seen since last year are showing to "check on our welfare" and then the question "Oh by the way, how is the corn doing". They know I don't grow Zucchini so they have no fear.
Some of you may remember I spoke of a volunteer potato growing next to the fence and compost pile a few months ago. Well I dug it up yesterday and this is the harvest of the Yukon Gold. There are a lot of Redwood tree feeder roots and they were intertwined with the spuds or there may have been more...
This is one result of the roots...
My garden helper deadheaded the Dahlias and filled 2 wheelbarrows like this for the compost pile...
Great link, thanks for posting.
You’re very welcome.
