Growing bell peppers?
Okay, say I go into my kitchen and cut open a bell pepper, take a hand-full of seeds, and plant it in a hole in my backyard… will it grow into a plant? Doesn’t the time spent not attached to the plant effect the seeds or something?
Sorry guys, I am trying to muster up some ambition here. I will be asking quite a few questions here about gardening. I think I’m going to grow a veggie garden. Thanks for bearing with me. (I have gotten many books also, so don’t sugest that) Oh yeah, live in AZ
Yes, they will grow. Try to use fairly fresh seeds. Not over 6 months out of the pepper, Store them in a dry place until used. Don’t seal them in an airtight bag, if there is any moisture they will mold.
Some of the easiest vegetables to grow at home are peppers (as they can withstand a fair amount of salts in the ground) and cherry tomatoes. Cherry tomato seeds sprout easily.
Hardest thing is to get them enough water at the right time to get the fruit to keep growing during the hot season. Some type of shade would help a lot with this especially in Arizona summers.
