Gardening-Next Years Tomatoes This August 12, 2013 photo shows an unidentified person saving seeds from a Gardener's Delight variety of heirloom tomato in New Paltz, NY. The first step in saving tomato seeds entails nothing much more than squeezing a bit of the seed-gel mix out of the cavity of a tomato fruit into a glass. No need even to sacrifice eating the rest of the fruit! (AP Photo/Lee Reich)
