Any tips on what to do. Should I dry the chilli seeds or can I just plant them up?
I usual dry my seeds first but perhaps you can try with some fresh and some dry. Three years ago I bought some fresh mixed chillies and from some of their seeds I raised few plants. From them I got enough to supply me and close relatives with fresh chillies, drying some and making 1 gallon of chilly oil. But I have to mention that in order to achieve that the plants have to be in a cool greenhouse as growing them outdoors as peppers, aubergines and melons is a gamble. Don Vincenzo
