One of my chile books says to let them ripen & dry on the plant to get the best seeds. I have tagged my "seed peppers" on each plant with a twist tie so I won't forget and pick them. Ask me next year how well it works.

Subject:  [CH] Saving seeds

Hi!

I was wondering if there is something special that needs to be done to
save seeds from plants.  This year I've planted some jalepeno, Anaheim
Chili, Czechoslovakian Black and some Habanero (unknown type).  Should I
let them overrippen on the plant and then what type of cleaning/preserving
should be done.  Any help on this or where I can find the info would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Ron
