Green peppers

When buying green peppers from a big super market,can i extract the seeds and plant them??????

 

I have done it and it worked. But not sure if I would recommend it. A lot of the seeds failed. then again, the one's that worked I got for free.

 

Slinky, as the saying goes, if you don`t try, you`ll never know.:D

 

Thanks Guys,will give it a bash and if anything happens,I will disturb this thread...........

something tells me a may be a while:confused:

 

Dont use the green ones, get ripe ones.

Red orange yellow, etc.

Green ones dont have fully ripe seed.

 

Cheers for the heads up...never realized that.:thumb:

Mind you, makes sense when you think about it...doh.

 

Grew some (outside) last year from a supermarket pepper. Lots of quite small fruit, but very crisp and quite edible.

 

I had some advice once that when you get the seeds put them in a cup of water and only use the seeds that float as they will be the ones that germinate.

I've got that far but i'm still in the drying stages at the momet
