Cygnus asked:


I bought some chili pepper seeds from a local hardware store (F1 breed). The plants did grow and bear fruit, but due to this unusually cold summer, the peppers didn’t grow to maturity.
How do I store the seeds over the winter and grow new plants next year?

I read several articles on the net about “curing” them first, but they didn’t describe the process. Do I have to dry them out first, store them wet, or what?

What I mean by store bought potatoes is the potatoes you buy from the grocery store. I love potatoes and I usually buy them from the store but I was wondering if you could use the store bought potatoes to start potato plants.
I’ve read what you people wrote and I was wondering could I take a potatoe stick in the some soil? Or do I have to wait for it to sprout?
