Hi all, hope your enjoying the hot and sunny weather. My chillis certainly are.

Can anyone tell me the best way of drying out my chilli seeds for next years planting, as i have some very rare and hot chillis i cant get hold of easily??

thanks guys

Hi Mickey, I just wash the seeds and dry on kitchen towel then keep in little paper bags in a drawer.  As long as they are dry they are usually fine.

I just bung 'em in a paper bag, bung that on a shelf and next year they come up fine.   Cheers,    Tony.

Ok brilliant, do the chillis i use need to be at there final coulouring and mature.
I only ask because my green bhut Jolokia had hardly any seeds and when i tried drying they seemed to dissapear to nothing

Cheers

You'll be hard pushed to get viable seed from unripe chillis.

Just out of interest Grannie, why do you need to wash the seeds?
