Probably not. They’re likely hybrids from a factory farm and won’t regrow true to the parent.
Sometimes a nice store bough green pepper could be a couple of bucks—in season less than a dollar each but...
A packet of good seeds is only $2 or $3 dollars and can give you dozens and dozens of peppers.
Your starter sounds like it will do so for you!
Oh... Peppers don’t need as much water as tomatoes.
Thanks. Yeah, I think the organic will go (Sprout’s are poppin’ it seems) but so far haven’t seen anything from any other store-bought.
Tonight, I dropped a few orange bell pepper - it’s a Walmart - if it goes, I’ll be surprised. Otherwise, it will become base soil for the upcoming transplant.
I just dropped at least 40 seeds from a tomato. Good gosh, the first 40 or so took off like a rocket. They did more in 2.5 weeks than another (lousy soil) has done in 6-8 weeks. That’s where the carrots are and they are tiny, tiny. I’ll be lucky if I can cut them out for transplant.
Got a starter set from Lowe’s with 16 pods. Put in multi-color peppers. Looked like only 8 would come in. Then after a few weeks 4 of the remaining 8 started growing. Then about 3 weeks and 2 of the last 4. Now, the last 2 started growing (the last one got the organic pepper - at least 11 growing - I’ll have to separate them).
I’ll post a pic of that kit if I can find it. Good for rookies like me. Gotta have patience, though.
