If you discover a lovely, tasty tomato of course you want to grow more like it the following season! Here is a neat way to prepare tomato seeds for next year. The answer is simple water fermentation. To prepare, you will need to transfer seeds from ripe, open-pollinated fruits to a jar of water at the conclusion of tomato season in early fall. Next, cover the jar loosely and allow the seeds to ferment for 2–3 days until you notice the ones that sink. Remove these, rinse them well and dry them off completely. Lastly, label them prior to storing them in a cool, dry, dark location. If you followed the steps correctly, your seeds should remain viable for years.
Nothing serious here, just a sweet joke called “The Parent Trap.”
An advertising agent was advising her client on how to run a senior-citizen promotion without losing money:
“Here’s one way to make sure your discount doesn’t cost you a dime: Put up a sign in your barbershop window that says – ‘We offer senior-citizen discounts.’ Then, underneath that put in small, hard-to-read letters: ‘Must be at least 70 years old and accompanied by a parent.’”
“So… they’d need a parent who’s like 100?”
“Correct. It’s what we in the biz call a ‘non-redeemable incentive with high emotional yield.’”
?!
