Dear fellow gardeners,
What is the best way to preserve seeds from watermelon, cantaloupe, and jalapeno plants? If possible, I would like to re-plant seeds next year. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!! |

All three are very simple, however if you grew more than one kind of pepper in the garden you may not have exactly the same pepper as you have saved the seed
from. Even if another pepper plant is down the block in another garden they could cross affecting next years pepper. However it has been my experience that
mostly you get the same and slight differences do not really matter.
Saving seed of all three of these is identical, simply save seed from a ripe fruit (the watermellon, cantaloupe, or the pepper) and let them dry. That is all there is to it. Next year plant with enough time for the plant to be big enough to plant when you wish to plant it. Other plants are harder to save seed from but the three you picked are simple. |

Can you also save seed from amaryllis and other bulb flowers; how do you grow them?
