Anyone have experience saving seeds from pods that have ripened off the plant? Are the seeds still viable? I'm not talking about green pods, but pods that were close to being fully ripened but not entirely when they were picked.

My Savina is podding up but I'm finding holes in the peppers (guessing catapillar or slugs). If I save seed from these assuming they ripen, is there: A chance the seeds will not be viable Danger for plants grown from these seeds to be diseased assuming they do germinate? Danger in drying...

Took more pics this morning.  Here's the Bhut with ripening pods:     And the good ole' Orange Habs   Brain Strains are extremely slow to pod up, but the plant wasn't doing well earlier in the summer.  Seems to have bounced back and is putting out some pods.  Also, you can't really see, but it...

:party: Thank you very much.

Update here:   Pods have finally started to ripen.  Have spent the past week harvesting pods for drying, cooking, and seed saving.     Plants are all doing wonderfully.  Here are some pics.  Leaf droop is due to underwatering to stress the plants out.   Chiltepin   Chiltepin is producing like...

Pics from last Sunday:   Australian Lantern Red   First pods that are ripening       Datil   This haggard little plant made it and is finally starting to produce pods           Cayenne   Proudly nursed this back to health and it is putting out a decent amount of pods         Red Brain Strain...

Thank you for the compliment.  I agree about CCN.  Their selection is second to none.  Will be making a return trip next year.

Some pod pics (ignore the white residue on the leaves; someone did not dissolve the epsom properly before spraying):   Takanotsume   Takanotsume is podding up like crazy.  This picture doesn't do it justice because the foliage conceals many of the pods.  The pepper's Japanese name translates to...

Didn't have time to post yesterday, but many of the plants are beginning to pod up.  My Red Savina, Thai, Takanotsume, and Australian Lantern are all producing fruit.  All other plants are flowering.     There are absolutely no pest problems to report, except for warped leaves on my Datil and...

Received my order from Peter today.  Ordered Black Habs (his own creation), Naga Viper, and Devil's Tongue.  No freebies, but I didn't order much and who cares anyway - his prices are low, more so than most U.S. vendors even with Euro conversion and he got my order to me in under a week.  Very...

Thanks, bud.  Here are some of the others:   Chocolate Scotch Bonnet     Orange Habanero     Chiltepin     And here is a pic of the thai with a view of multiple plants  

After a couple of days of thunderstorms, a nice feeding of cal mag, and a beautiful, sun-soaked weekend, here are the plants.     Australian Lantern     Red Savina       Bhut Jolokia     Poblano     Mystery Chinense #1     Korean Hot     All-in-all, I'm happy with how well everything is...

Thank you, sir.  Will post more pics tomorrow.  The plants are really looking good after some calmag, along with this great heat and humidity.

Thanks, Runescape.  It's exceeding expectations since I bought the pods in a supermarket, but it's Whole Foods, so for the price I paid for the pods I guess I'm getting what I paid for, lol.   Here's a pic of the bhut I topped last week.  Should be a fine producer if it's anything like the...

First off, things are really starting to heat up in the Northeast, which is a blessing after the winter we had.  The plants are absolutely loving it and are beginning to shoot up.  Friday evening I gave them a kelp foliar feeding using GSPlant Foods Organic Liquid Kelp.  I've chosen to give up...
