Waste not want not

Great Mad ! what a god idea to sow the seds, there is no waste and the added bonus of more peppers ;0))

the peppers are huge well done ... good idea

Well that was instant success wasn't it. We worry about how to grow things and along you come with your 'we can try' and Bingo it works. I often wonder if we need to be more relaxed about what we do in the garden and this just proves it is a good idea.

great looking peppers Mad, that's what i do every year. why buy seeds when they are there for free is what i say.:0)). Hope you are keeping well.

What a great looking pepper :) I'd never thought of planting up the seeds from bought peppers. I don't have a greenhouse nor a veg. plot unfortunately but wonder if they could be grown in pots outside?

They're lovely looking peppers. Mine all rotted before I picked them lol. I hope you enjoy yours.

Thanks everyone, I'm glad you approve! And hope you'll try it too, except Tulsalady who already does it.
Hywel, I used 2 of them today, cooked. Yum yum! Sorry about your's.
Whistonlass, I think it would be worth trying, in a nice sunny place next to a wall. Germinate indoors of course.

i have peppers growing in greenhouse and doing well. think urs r fab. they are allways saying buy seeds dont use the 1 u get from plants as they dont work. BUT U HAVE PROVED THEM WRONG well dun , after all where do they get there seeds . .................................... from plants ................. or the moon lol. so i say lets all have a go . thanks mad . x ps dont no bt sun tho rain here now ...................again ]0((

Cristina, I'm old enough to have become somewhat cynical and I think 'they' tell us that to make us buy seeds. It could be done with tomatoes, but would I think, take a long time.. We're always told that about garlic, but as we have never been successful with garlic anyway, I don't know how that would work.
Good luck with your peppers.

u are right mad i totaly agree. tried the garlic . it was ok ish lol. thanks will def do the seeds as well. trying to grow more than buy now in every thing xx

Glad you tried this, Mad! Yes, a great way to get some free crops. works with chillis, too. ;-))

Thanks David. I've just learnt my sister-in-law does the same with tomatoes.She washes then dries the seeds and uses them for next year's crop. We must try chillies too.
