Red bell Pepper!

[PcolaHot]

I bought a red bell pepper for dinner tonite and was going to throw away all the waste that you don't need. Then all of a sudden I caught myself saving all the seeds.:) I'll use them for next growing seeds.:onfire:

Omri, the red bell pepper is from Mexico if that helps. I bought from the store I work at.

There is probably a good chance that its a hybrid:(

Potawie should I still save the seeds?:rolleyes:

[Omri]

Just enjoy the pepper and plant seeds FOR FUN. they might grow funny, but who cares. :lol:

Whether or not you should save the seeds depends on what you want. The plants you get will most likely be like one of the parents, so it's not a complete loss. You'll get some sort of red bell pepper, most like.

I did the same thing a couple of months ago with a delicious red bell I got from the market....the seeds sprouted like crazy and I'm hoping they will be like the mother plant....it'll be interesting to see what I get.:)

The seeds are still drying out now. But, I will plant a few and see what comes of them. If anything we will have nice looking red bell peppers.:)

[Omri]

Why are you drying the seeds?

[PcolaHot]

Why are you drying the seeds?

because I bought a fresh bell pepper from my produce section in my store.

I think Omri meant why don't you just sow some of them without drying them out first, germination is often quicker. Then dry the rest.

You know me so well. ;)
Drying them before using will just take longer.

Have to say point well taken. Didn't know that and will remember that the next time I buy and try to use the seeds from the peppers. Thanks guys for the new info.:lol:
