Cayenne Pepper...twin from hand pollinating...

[McGuiver]

Well I have this plant indoors, and thus needed to hand pollinate it with a small water color paint brush. I have the brush in a ziplock bag and only use it for Cayenne plants. Don't want any cross pollination.

From the pic you can see that a second pepper almost started. Has anyone seen this before? The same plant has other twins on it too.

Is it possible to avoid cross pollination outside with some easy method? I'm not talking about all pods, just a few/plant to save seeds.

I agree. If I did not pollinate this I would have no peppers till it warms up outside. We are still getting nights around 40's to high 30's. I didn't want to put a small plant outside to die. Yes the days are up to the mid 80's, but I want a strong plant.
I have never seen this type of twin pod trying to grow. Has anyone else?

I had a double pod; http://imgur.com/zd8s9sv sorry for the bad pic, but it is visible.
