pepper seed question
belly wrote:
OK, I'm sure this has been asked in the past, but I spent my obligatory ten minutes in the archives, then said the hell with it. Can I expect any success in trying to start pepper seeds from the dried peppers from the market? It seems the market near me has suddenly begun carrying peppers that I haven't seen at the nursery, not to mention, I can buy and eat the peppers in a $2 package, saving the seeds, but the seeds cost $3 at the nursery for about a quarter as many. Have these dried peps been irradiated or maybe subjected to anything else that my kill the seeds would you think? Almost any opinion or ideas appreciated... thanks a lot! It doesn't hurt to try. I've grown pepper plants from dried peppers before and got some unusual varieties that way that are seldom available as seeds. Other times, I got 0% germination. I think it depends on how much (if any) heat is used used to dry the peppers. Bob |
