A couple of months back got 4 Jalapeno and 1 Habanero plants. A friend of
SWMBO wants some seeds there is only a small problem the fruit does not
ripen, it is eaten before. The habanero is a very prolific bush lots of
small fruit and the jalapenos are of average size and nice and warm. I will
have to sacrifice 1 fruit from both and let them fully ripen for seed as the
friend has success going such from seed, which I would like to say I have
but alas it is not so.

it was possums doing it.

I thought to myself what would happen here in the same situation and
realised the gardener would be the culprit.

I would suggest choosing 2 of the best pods from each plant and then mark
them for your own future reference as the pair that will be allowed to
ripen, as opposed to the usual "they look about ripe for picking" and with
any luck you will get the pick of the litter when the seeds germinate.
