? on saving pepper seeds
 

We have this wonderful bell pepper that a friend gave us. A friends of hers gave her the plants and she does not know what variety they are.
My question is if we save seed can we expect to have peppers like this beautiful one pounder next year?

Hopefully, the pepper showed its color before it was picked. If so, you have an excellent chance. Remove all the seeds and dry them on a paper plate. Next year when you plant, put extra seeds in to make sure if your germination rate is low, you're sure to get a few plants.

Peppers are always better when fully (FULLY) ripe. For me, I take a pepper for seed after it is fully colored and just before it becomes inedible.

We have more on the plants so we will plan on saving seeds from one later on
Thanks Ted

A couple of things to think about...

First, if the pepper is of an unknown variety it may be a hybrid, if that's the case it may not grow true the following year.

Second, if the pepper was grown around other varieties of peppers if may have crossed with the other peppers.

I say if you have the room and the desire, go for it. I'm always saving pepper seed that didn't grow true to see what the following years results will be.
