I saved a bunch of pepper seeds from those plastic bags of dried chiles at Walmart and was curious if they’d germinate, and they came up even better than my store-bought seeds! Now that it’s getting hot, they’re really taking off.
My labeling system for my seedlings this year was super disorganized so I’m not sure what varieties of peppers these seeds came from (not to mention whether they were cross-pollinated wherever they were grown) but I believe I planted seeds from packages of anchos, guajillos, and Serranos. I also got some loose seeds that had spilled on the shelf underneath the bags so those are total mysteries. I can’t wait to see what these guys do! Maybe I’ll even get some fun hybrids.
