since my cayenne plants in the garden are not anywhere near as hot as they were supposed to be (i think long red slim cayenne was mislabeled and is long red thick cayenne based upon the length and thickness of the peppers), saving seeds from them seems like a waste. i have seeds from 5 VERY hot cayenne peppers i ate today that have been in the freezer since last september. are seeds that were frozen ok to use for next year or does having froze them cause problems where they shouldn't be used? i tend to think they are ok but i better ask before i get another nasty surprise!
