Beginner question on saving seeds

14 years ago

Hello all!

I am new to seed starting (but not to gardening) and I am curious about saving seeds and possibly swapping next year. I am growing a variety of vegetables, some include tomatillo, bell pepper, bhut jolokia, black pineapple tomato, big boy tomato...the list goes on. Could someone please provide some insight as to how I should go about saving the seeds. I'm interested especially in the bhut jolokia and the black pineapple tomato. Btw- I live near Atlanta GA if that is necessary info.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi Dave - Have you checked out the FAQs here? Many different varieties are covered including peppers and tomatoes. If they don't give you all the info you need just let us know. It's really very easy to do. Just be sure to ID hybrids so they don't get mixed in with OP varieties that can be saved.
