Oh man...you know you just cant beat mother nature.
2 seasons ago I went thru the process to save seeds from a tomato following some seed saving directions I read... fermenting the juices, soaking, rinsing etc. Never did get any germination either after I planted themand now tonight I had 3 nice tomatoes still left from the very last greenhouse pick down at work before we cleaned out the plants sometime back in late Oct. Yup really

And so when I went to cut up two of them (both had started to go bad) low and behold I saw something bright green sticking up in a cut up piece of tomato. At first I thought it was worm ,BUT it turned out to be a germinated seed and the green was the sprout! Can hardly believe it!
How I save tomato seeds is to freeze an over ripe tomato. In the spring, thaw it out and cut into about four slices. Cover them with a little potting soil and wait for the sprouts to pop.
