CeeJay Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Just bought some glorious red and green peppers, (are they called capsicum?) and upon deseeding I wondered if I should keep the seeds for next year, would that be possible or is there some strange reason why commercially grown ones won't work?

andyh4 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 You can keep them and sow them next year, but they may not produce exactly the same kind of peppers as the ones you bought. Many commercial seeds are specially bred F1 and sometimes even F2 varieties. The seeds of these will not produce true copies of the fruits - but that is not to say they won't produce good fruit.

cheminot Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 All my peppers this year have been grown from seeds taken from ones I bought from the supermarket. It is the best crop I have ever had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
