how to get your own seeds from vegetables
For fleshy vegetables such as tomatoes, squash and melons, pick them when they are fully ripe. Scoop out their seeds and spread them to dry in a well-ventilated place. Beans and peas need to be left on the vine until the pods are dry and crackly. Corn should also be left to dry on the stalk until the kernels dent.Other types of seed may be gathered when the fruit or vegetables are fully formed, hard and âmeaty.â Remember to collect seeds only from the most vigorous plants in you garden, and not just from the first few ripe specimens you happen to encounter.ther types of seed may be gathered when the fruit or vegetables are fully formed, hard and âmeaty.â Remember to collect seeds only from the most vigorous plants in you garden, and not just from the first few ripe specimens you happen to encounter.
