How long do seeds need to dry before I can plant?

Just stuffed some banana and jalapeno peppers. How long do seeds need to dry before I can plant them?

I don't know that they require anything special, but let them set for a week before trying to grow them, if you are worried...OR EXPERIMENT with them and let us know how it goes.

 

Were the peppers mature enough to have full-sized, mature seeds? I hope so. Test them in a damp paper towel in a baggie in a warm spot. If you don't see roots beginning in a week or ten days, they're not good.

 

Thanks all.

 

So Donna, how is it going with the pepper seeds? Did you get some to sprout?

 

Hi Rockhound,
I read your post and went OMG. I forgot all about them. Just went and looked and most have sprouted. Yea!
Going to have me some baby bells.

 

Hey, all right! Hopefully you can rescue most all of them and turn them into productive plants. Any ideas if they were hybrid peppers or not? I hope you get a useful crop even if not eggs-akly like the parents.

 

Rockhound all I know is they were called baby bells and they were really good. So I saved the seed, dryed them and planted them. I planted 12 seeds and have 12 plants. Friends and neighbors will enjoy also I hope.

 

12 seeds, 12 plants. Is that the best you can do? LOL. You have a real green thumb going.

 

So how long did it take for the seeds to dry?

 

I let them dry for about two weeks before doing seed test with wet paper towels & plastic bag.
