I am in the garden because my 7 00:00:22,573 --> 00:00:26,093 Speaker 4: grandson Edaway is looking after my miss nets. We're catching 8 00:00:26,133 --> 00:00:30,973 Speaker 4: birds at the mountain. Oh yeah, yeah, that's a lovely story. 9 00:00:31,053 --> 00:00:35,613 Speaker 2: Oh that's good. Yeah, presumably that's yeah, yeah, yeah, of course. 10 00:00:36,253 --> 00:00:39,253 Speaker 2: You know, my wife had a very dramatic scene the 11 00:00:39,293 --> 00:00:41,373 Speaker 2: other day. She had to She was in a shop 12 00:00:41,533 --> 00:00:43,773 Speaker 2: and there was a kingfisher that got stuck in the 13 00:00:43,813 --> 00:00:47,613 Speaker 2: shop and yeah, I know, crazy, and then she ended 14 00:00:47,653 --> 00:00:52,933 Speaker 2: up what are they? And then and then she so 15 00:00:53,053 --> 00:00:54,973 Speaker 2: they no one knew what to do, and then someone 16 00:00:55,373 --> 00:00:57,213 Speaker 2: it was in the corner, and someone threw a towel 17 00:00:57,253 --> 00:01:02,333 Speaker 2: over it, and she Marvis sort of fancies herself in 18 00:01:02,373 --> 00:01:05,733 Speaker 2: emergency situations, and so she rushed over, rushed over. No 19 00:01:05,733 --> 00:01:07,093 Speaker 2: one knew what to do. As the towel was on it, 20 00:01:07,213 --> 00:01:09,013 Speaker 2: she picked it up, scooped it up and took it 21 00:01:09,053 --> 00:01:11,413 Speaker 2: outside and the towel and then released it. But she 22 00:01:11,453 --> 00:01:13,533 Speaker 2: said it was the most like she said, it was 23 00:01:13,573 --> 00:01:17,133 Speaker 2: the softest thing ever felt. Yes, you said it was amazing, 24 00:01:17,333 --> 00:01:23,133 Speaker 2: just like touching its you know, touching its coat. So anyway, good, Yeah, 25 00:01:23,373 --> 00:01:26,053 Speaker 2: it was all good. Flew away lived happily ever after 26 00:01:27,493 --> 00:01:28,973 Speaker 2: me and Mather had a story to dine out on 27 00:01:29,013 --> 00:01:33,573 Speaker 2: for about three days, you know, heroes with capes. Anyway, 28 00:01:33,813 --> 00:01:37,533 Speaker 2: this morning, you've got tips on using tomato seeds to grow, 29 00:01:38,613 --> 00:01:41,213 Speaker 2: because most of us, I'm a bit lazy with my tomatoes. 30 00:01:41,253 --> 00:01:42,693 Speaker 2: I just get a little you know, I go to 31 00:01:42,733 --> 00:01:44,173 Speaker 2: the go to the plant shop and just get a 32 00:01:44,173 --> 00:01:46,093 Speaker 2: couple of different varietals. But this could be an option 33 00:01:46,133 --> 00:01:46,733 Speaker 2: for next summer. 34 00:01:48,013 --> 00:01:48,373 Speaker 3: It is. 35 00:01:48,413 --> 00:01:50,933 Speaker 4: But it's also a way of actually getting your own stuff, 36 00:01:51,013 --> 00:01:54,253 Speaker 4: going from your own collections, if you like, because and 37 00:01:54,813 --> 00:01:56,373 Speaker 4: now it's a good time to do that because the 38 00:01:56,413 --> 00:01:58,893 Speaker 4: two others are still ripening, I suppose, but it won't 39 00:01:58,893 --> 00:02:01,453 Speaker 4: be long before it gets too too cold and all 40 00:02:01,453 --> 00:02:03,893 Speaker 4: that sort of stuff. And I thought i'd write a 41 00:02:03,933 --> 00:02:06,613 Speaker 4: little bit about that. And the first thing is, you know, 42 00:02:06,813 --> 00:02:10,533 Speaker 4: if you've got a tomato growing that's an F one hybrid, 43 00:02:11,013 --> 00:02:14,813 Speaker 4: then be aware that you can't have that. You cannot, 44 00:02:15,413 --> 00:02:18,293 Speaker 4: if you like, use those seeds because what you're going 45 00:02:18,333 --> 00:02:21,893 Speaker 4: to get is completely different from what you had. F 46 00:02:21,933 --> 00:02:25,533 Speaker 4: one is one of those little first filial generation, as 47 00:02:25,573 --> 00:02:29,173 Speaker 4: they call it in that work. These things will come 48 00:02:29,253 --> 00:02:31,893 Speaker 4: back basically to their old parents, and sometimes even a 49 00:02:31,933 --> 00:02:37,733 Speaker 4: different species. It's extraordinary. But if you've got air loom varieties, 50 00:02:38,893 --> 00:02:43,613 Speaker 4: the so called open pollinated varieties, they will come true 51 00:02:43,653 --> 00:02:47,253 Speaker 4: to type when you use the seeds. Things like I've 52 00:02:47,333 --> 00:02:50,813 Speaker 4: used tigarella all my life back grim Thessalonica. But now 53 00:02:51,093 --> 00:02:54,133 Speaker 4: Neil Robertson from Piano gave me this wonderful thing and 54 00:02:54,133 --> 00:02:58,733 Speaker 4: he said you'd love it. It's called Gardener's Delight, and 55 00:02:58,813 --> 00:03:03,373 Speaker 4: it is larger than a normal tomato, you know, one 56 00:03:03,413 --> 00:03:04,813 Speaker 4: of those little tomatoes. 57 00:03:04,413 --> 00:03:04,893 Speaker 3: If you like. 58 00:03:05,373 --> 00:03:08,893 Speaker 4: And it is sweet and it is absolutely juicy and beautiful. 59 00:03:09,653 --> 00:03:12,253 Speaker 3: So on behalf of Neil. Thank you. 60 00:03:12,373 --> 00:03:14,973 Speaker 4: I've actually got those things, and I've written exactly in 61 00:03:15,013 --> 00:03:17,493 Speaker 4: the system that will be online how to do that. 62 00:03:18,613 --> 00:03:23,373 Speaker 4: You basically get the fully ripe tomatoes, scrape, scrape off 63 00:03:23,693 --> 00:03:26,813 Speaker 4: the you cut them in half, scrape off the seeds 64 00:03:27,253 --> 00:03:29,693 Speaker 4: and put them on if you like, under in a colin, 65 00:03:29,773 --> 00:03:34,053 Speaker 4: under underwater, so most of the sticky stuff goes out. 66 00:03:34,453 --> 00:03:37,333 Speaker 3: You know, you do that a few times if you like. 67 00:03:38,013 --> 00:03:40,173 Speaker 4: And once you've done that a few times, you'll find 68 00:03:40,173 --> 00:03:42,493 Speaker 4: that the seeds are not so sticky anymore. You put 69 00:03:42,493 --> 00:03:46,013 Speaker 4: them in some kitchen paper, if you like, and you 70 00:03:46,213 --> 00:03:49,373 Speaker 4: dry them very gently, not in the sun. 71 00:03:49,933 --> 00:03:52,413 Speaker 2: Oh okay, not in the sun, not. 72 00:03:52,333 --> 00:03:54,533 Speaker 3: Too hot, not in the sun, but nice and dry. 73 00:03:54,613 --> 00:03:55,053 Speaker 3: That's it. 74 00:03:55,293 --> 00:03:57,973 Speaker 4: And two days later, basically they will have desiccated. They 75 00:03:58,013 --> 00:04:00,693 Speaker 4: will be totally dry then. And what I do then 76 00:04:00,813 --> 00:04:04,493 Speaker 4: is I separate them and put them in little envelopes, 77 00:04:04,733 --> 00:04:08,093 Speaker 4: paper envelopes, and then I send them around to people 78 00:04:08,453 --> 00:04:09,413 Speaker 4: that might like them. 79 00:04:09,853 --> 00:04:12,133 Speaker 3: So you should have yours in the letterbox by now. 80 00:04:12,373 --> 00:04:18,973 Speaker 4: Yeah, And and Levy asked for some as well, so 81 00:04:19,093 --> 00:04:21,693 Speaker 4: it's gonna happen there, very good. 82 00:04:21,813 --> 00:04:24,573 Speaker 2: I have to chiu. So just that, really, why didn't 83 00:04:24,573 --> 00:04:25,973 Speaker 2: you put them in the sun? So you want them 84 00:04:26,013 --> 00:04:28,173 Speaker 2: to dry, but you don't want them to dry too quickly. 85 00:04:28,813 --> 00:04:29,333 Speaker 3: That's right. 86 00:04:29,533 --> 00:04:32,813 Speaker 4: It goes really slowly because normally those you know, the 87 00:04:32,853 --> 00:04:36,213 Speaker 4: way these things basically fall off a plant is that 88 00:04:36,253 --> 00:04:39,293 Speaker 4: they split open and they are basically in the shade 89 00:04:39,413 --> 00:04:43,133 Speaker 4: under a plant, and that's how they go on for 90 00:04:43,213 --> 00:04:45,533 Speaker 4: next year. But in this case, you're going to sort 91 00:04:45,533 --> 00:04:48,253 Speaker 4: it out yourself. Not in the sun. Please leave them 92 00:04:48,333 --> 00:04:51,013 Speaker 4: nice and warm and dry and you'll be fine. And 93 00:04:51,133 --> 00:04:52,853 Speaker 4: so have a little tip you can do if you are, 94 00:04:52,973 --> 00:04:55,333 Speaker 4: for instance, in an area with a lot of relative humidity, 95 00:04:55,773 --> 00:04:58,973 Speaker 4: you can use some silica gel in the envelope to 96 00:04:59,093 --> 00:05:02,253 Speaker 4: absorb moisture and to keep those things dry and they'll 97 00:05:02,293 --> 00:05:04,093 Speaker 4: be actually, by the way, they'll be good for the 98 00:05:04,093 --> 00:05:05,653 Speaker 4: next two three four years. 99 00:05:05,893 --> 00:05:07,853 Speaker 3: Wo okay, yeah, that's right. 100 00:05:08,013 --> 00:05:11,973 Speaker 2: Oh, no pressure mucking and you would love it. I would. 101 00:05:12,213 --> 00:05:14,533 Speaker 2: You're right. Thank you so much for route climb past 102 00:05:14,613 --> 00:05:16,973 Speaker 2: in the garden for us. We'll make sure those tips 103 00:05:17,133 --> 00:05:20,693 Speaker 2: and varietals are up on the News Talks he'd be website. 104 00:05:20,493 --> 00:05:23,613 Speaker 1: For more from Saturday Morning with Jack Tame.
