The peppers that I planted in containers about 6 weeks ago are beginning to produce. Now I have some questions.
First, I want to save and dry some of the seeds for planting next year just to see how they do. I've never saved seed from anything but tomatoes. For them I just scraped the seeds out and put them in damp paper towels and put them in a window out of direct sun until they dried. How should I treat the pepper seeds? Should I let the whole pod dry and them take the seeds or take the seeds while the peppers are fresh and dry them outside the pods?
The most prolific of my plants are the sweet banana peppers. I picked about a peck of them yesterday. What should I do with them? How should I process them? All suggestions will be greatly appreciated and gratefully received.
