Growing fresh tomato seeds?

Question

I know that if u wanna dry and save tomato seeds u have to go through the fermentation process but if I want to plant them right away do they have to be dried? Can i just take the blob of goo and put it in some soil?

Answer 1

No, you have to let them dry out and pick out the SEEDS and not the "blob of goo" lol

Answer 2

Whenever I pick tomatos that have bug holes eaten in them, I chuck them over the fence, and the darn things come up on their own!  So I expect you can plant them right away, goo and all!
