Seed quality from green tomatoes

Adenn1 · July 31, 2007

I need to visit a few of the gardens of those friends/neighbors that I gave transplants to this spring. I sent out several varities that I did not have room for. I hope to find ripe tomatoes...but if I dont...can I pick a few green ones and allow them to ripen on the window sill? Will the quality of the seeds taken from these tomatoes be diminished in any way--I guess as compared to a vine rippened tomato?

Just curious--and so that I don't have to make several trips.

Thanks

Mark
