All the pods are fully rip so a few of those were begging to get soft
I want to get the seeds out ti save them, but I did not want to go through the whole process of wearing gloves, storing the seeds, and labeling since I was rushing, so I said eff it.
just toss them all in the fridge to slow down the softening and decided to deal with it later.
Just realized it's been in there for 2 days
not sure if the fridge temps will damage the seeds
Pretty sure seeds can be stored in the freezer. They might have to be completely dry to avoid cell rupture, but Im 99% sure that fresh seeds in the fridge will germinate normally.
The seeds will be good after the fridge but I wouldn't leave them in too long to start rotting inside the pepper. Just cut the placenta out with the seeds attached and let them dry then separate them later.
