    You know when you go to chop up a sweet pepper for a tasty-ful salad, and sometimes you get a pepper that has one of those little green tortuous looking things on the inside? Is that like a Jr. Pepper? If I stick that in some soil and water it faithfully & diligently, will I soon have a pepper plant of my own? I am sick of paying $1.79/lb.

    I would save the seeds, let them dry completely, then plant them indoors until the weather is warm enough 20c. min.

    The seeds will ensure you a crop.

    But yes, that torturous little green thing in there is a second, atrophied conjoined twin pepper. I'm with K. Baron - save and dry the seeds, plant 'em indoors, and voila! Weeny little pepper plants.

    Thanks. I always wondered what was going on in there.
