Very nice video. I am going to try to grow ornamental peppers in my house over the winter. Do peppers need any kind of stratification or cold period before they germinate? I've looked on the internet and some people say they do and others say they don't.

@SolsticeSong1 I just pick the ripest, healthiest pepper specimen. Make sure it's as ripe as it can get on the plant. Remove the seeds and dry them on a paper towel. With thin-walled peppers such as thai, you can leave the seeds in the pepper to dry. As soon as the seeds are 100% dry, store them in a baggie or some airtight container in the fridge until you're ready to plant them. You can plant them anytime. No wait period or stratification needed in my experience.

Can beans Cross polinate with other types of beans?

[Praxxus55712]

@niffer58 I think they can.

Can you dry large bell peppers like this to save seeds?

[Praxxus55712]

@Moniforae Bell peppers have thick walls. It would take some doing but they can be dried for sure. Since they're delicious when fully ripe (red), I would let them ripen until red and then remove seeds and eat the pepper. But yes you can save any pepper seed this way as far as I know.

Is it normal that jalapenos would also turn red as they "over"mature?
