Fleshy Fruits and Vegetables

• 1). Cut open fleshy fruits and vegetables such as tomatoes or cucumbers. Scoop out the seeds.
  
  
• 2). Fill a glass jar with water. Place the seeds and pulp into the glass. Leave the seeds and pulp in the glass for 24 hours to allow the pulp to ferment.
  
  
• 3). Place a filter over the mouth of the jar, and secure the filter with a rubber band. Turn the jar over, and allow the water to drain out. The filter will catch the seeds and pulp.
  
  
• 4). Pick out the seeds. Place them on a paper towel, and allow them to dry.
  
  
• 5). Put the seeds in a paper envelope, and mark the contents and date on the cover. Store the seeds in a cool dry place.
  
  

Seeds in Pods or Husks

• 1). Allow seeds to mature before picking pods or husks.
  
  
• 2). Hang the pods from twine in a cool dark place to dry. The seeds will rattle in the pods when they are dry.
  
  
• 3). Open the pods, and pick out the seeds.
  
  
• 4). Place the seed in a paper envelope. Mark the envelope's contents and the date with a marker.
  
  
• 5). Place all the envelopes in a brown paper bag. Put the bag in a cool dry location for storage.
