RE: keeping seeds

I doubt the little bit of dried paper towel makes any difference.  I'd just
store them in a cool dry place until spring.

Subject: keeping seeds


Greetings:  I've saved seeds of several varieties of tomato that I like,
but this was the first time I've done that, and I let them dry on paper
towels, so now some of the paper is still attached to some of the seeds;

I have learned not to put green tomatoes away for ripening with any stem
attached, as that's what I found always got moldy and affected the
fruit;

so I wonder if I should move heaven and earth to get the paper off the
seed.

And if I washed the seed to get it off, would that be all right, as long
as I dry it well before I put it away for the winter?

Any suggestions are eagerly awaited.

TIA

Isabelle Hayes
