Saving Seeds from a tomato that has been refrigerated

angelique · August 28, 2006

Hi All,

Is it possible to save seeds from a tomato that has been refrigerated? DH accidentally put my BTD (Brad's) from NorCATT in the 'fridge last night. I just found it.

Thanks in advance for the advice.

Cheers,

Angelique

I really don't think it will hurt. Some even store their seeds in the refrigerator.

No prob IMHO.

I wouldn't think the seeds would be affected by the
colder temps at all....

I actually saved seeds from a dehydrated tomato earlier this spring... I was so pleased to see them germinate.

You could always test a small batch for germination to see what happens.
