Fred you said you dry your tomato seeds what is the best way of doing this please, I would leave them to dry out on a saucer then when completely dry store them in a brown paper bag or do you advice a different way. |

I think you should give them some protection Lorraine, at night it is very cold, if you can get them into the tunnel it would be a help. |
