Does anyone watch the show Victory Garden? The 30-minute gardening show has aired on PBS for 33 years and I can honestly say I have no idea how. I’ve been DVRing this show for 6-months and have learned one thing. Just one. This is quite upsetting because it’s hosted by the hottt Australian, Jamie Durie, but even he isn’t enough to keep me watching.

The tip was in regards to saving seeds from heirloom vegetables. I had been taking a few seeds from tomatoes and brushing them on a paper towel to dry. I figured I would just cut up the paper towel and plant it. I wouldn’t have gotten very far because the gel that surrounds the seeds prohibits them from germinating. To remove, you just soak the seeds and gel in water for a few days until the gel separates, then strain off the seeds and let dry. And toss any floaters - they won’t germinate.
