How do you grow Tabasco and Habanero... I mean... did you just plant seeds from peppers you got in the market... or what? Cool info, thanks.

I buy seeds at the store. Most places that sell seeds have them. Then I used seeds from the plants I grew. this year, the plants grew from the base of last year’s plants. I started to pull the old ones in early spring and found they had tiny sprouts at the bottom, so I left the rest, they grew quite well.

I don’t know of peppers you buy at the store would have viable seeds, unless you can get them fresh. dried ones might not if they are heat dried. Sun dried peppers do have viable seeds, that’s how I dry mine for seeds, I dry a handful every year.
