Hi All,

I have been following Songbird's instruction
on how to collect Anaheim (California) pepper
seeds. Wait till the peppers are nice and red
and the skins wrinkly, then harvest the seeds
and dry the out real well.

This year I have noticed that some of the seeds
have black dots in their centers. Is that the
germ? Or should I discard the seeds?

Many thanks,
-T

Solved the problem by saving about 500 seeds.
Some of them have to be good. And I have 10
holes to grow them in, so 50 seeds per hole?
(I will start with 10 or 20)
My Anaheim (California) peppers are coming
is gang busters this year. Nothing else is
doing so well. Have not had a single cucumber
fruit in two weeks and three of the four zukes
are dead. The forth one is just holding on
and no fruit either. Cherry tomatoes are
doing alright

glad the tomatoes are coming through, they're
usually pretty forgiving. small fruits are a
good thing when weather may vary - that's why
with beans i prefer to grow ones that are on the
smaller side.
