seeds will be fine. Last year I had lots of breeding project tomatoes coming along in a second crop - some took over a month indoors to ripen - saved seed germinated fine this year.

Peppers won't really change color on sitting from my experience - they need to go to their final ripe color on the plant. Seeds from unripe peppers won't be any good - they won't germinate.

Pepper seeds just need to be removed and dried indoors (I use paper plates).

figure wtf. kitchen science.
interested in self seeding/volunteers in a big way. had a nice little yield of volunteer purple fingerlings, for the third year.
trying to figure out what crops to try to extend, and how.

plus planning for a big expansion into the little house i invested my divorce settlement into. big yards on both ends.
i think i may be close to 1/4 of an acre!

excited.

Not sure why - maybe something to do with the tomato structure vs the pepper...

I anticipate having little to no garden at all next year - cross country spring driving trip to visit each daughter!

It's fine - I - and my yard - could use a break!

not coming close to chi are you?
