Save seeds from the biggest and best fruits - simply because they will have the strongest seeds, spawn the healthiest seedlings and likely have the best genetics. Get fully ripe fruit, slit them, scrape the seed onto paper towel. Let them dry for a few weeks (just a week in summer). Pop them in a paper envelope and label it with date and variety. Now ... if the plants you are collecting seed from were hybrids and not 'true to type' the seedlings you grow from them are likely to produce fruit with different characteristics from the parents. If you keep growing lots of plants for several years and saving seeds from selected plants each year with the same characteristics as the original hybrid adult you may eventually end up with your own true to type variety. That's the kind of activity that separates 'gardeners' from 'horticulturalists'. Wet fruit like tomatoes needs an extra step of 1-2 days fermentation in a bit of water with vinegar followed by washing in a sieve to remove the pulpy stuff before spreading out in a thin layer on paper towel. Agree, especially save seeds from self sown plants they,re usually strong plants, we had a self sown cherry tomato at our front door this summer gave heaps away easily pulled 400 plus tomatoes off one plant, half dead now and still a 100 plus fruit on it in various stages of ripening. The tomatoes I got from Bunnings fared poorly, lucky if we got 20 off each plant. Also look at heirloom seeds, grew mangelwurzel a couple of years ago thrived in the crappy sand we called soil in Perth.

spirulinagrowco.com.auJust stumbled across this may be worth a visit for the WA guys, wish I'd known about this shop when I was living up the road. Considering ordering a kit and putting the old fish tank to use.

One of his earlier ones think there's a bit of John Bulter Trio and Juzzie Smith influence but definitely a talented young guy

Saw this the other day. Don't drink milk but got some powdered milk with the shopping today to give it a try. A world without cheese would not be a good place for me to be.

A few tomatoes,Got a couple of hundred capsicum seeds sprouted and a dozen pumpkin seedlings limited to what I can grow in pots in this rental so probably give most of them away ( bit of potential networking).Getting a few fruit trees going in pots ready for when we buy property.
