re: Lets talk pepper plants

My wife bought some shishito’s from the grocery and I meant to grow some this year, arm I able to take some seeds and grow them this year?

The seeds will still be viable as long as they dried out, but it’s a coin flip how they will turn out. This is mostly for sweet peppers, but commercial operations use a lot of hybrids and grafting that leads to sterile seeds. Not to mention a lot of grocery store varieties are grown in greenhouses under controlled conditions, and may not fare well outside one. Wouldn’t suspect that of shishitos but it’s a possibility, only one way to find out.
