Mixed pepper plants and seed saving

18 years ago

My plants are all in 18 gallon containers. Prior to really thinking about it I planted different types right next to each other. I have jalapenos right next to sweet bell peppers. I have jalapenos right next to Ancho Grandes and I have Ancho Grandes right next to tabasco.

Now I know this isn't the way to do this and I'll be doing it very different next year. There is probably cross pollinating going on. However, I've read that peppers are often pollinated prior to the flower even opening. I don't know how true this is. But what are the odds that some of these peppers are NOT cross pollinated? Any chance I can save the seeds and have them grow true?

Thanks.
