Saving Tomato Seeds Questions

AlittleSalt · June 5, 2015

8 days ago I started saving Juliet tomato seeds. The are from Juliet F1 tomatoes. I'm just curious to see F2s.

I saved a lot of seeds last year of other tomatoes and peppers. I did the exact same things this year as well. I placed a coffee filter on the top of the jar and set them out in a semi-shaded area. What is odd is there is no floating muck on top of this batch of seeds. The water is discolored and has no floating seeds.

Does the fact that there is no floating muck mean anything?

Also, do I have to let them dry before planting some of them in seed cells?
