Seed Saving From Critter bitten fruits
Some critter got into my garden and bit into a couple of blushing fruits from my dwarf project plants. Can I save seeds from them? They aren't fully ripe, but they are very light pink. Would seeds saved from these be viable?
Thanks, Jen |

I would think they would be fine for saving. They've matured far enough to be blushing & they have gel capsules, right?

I would think they should be all right. You could let them ripen longer if you want.

Once you see blushing about 1/3 of the way up the seeds should be mature and I know one person who saves seeds from total greenies, but most can't do that effectively.

Sounds good! I left them out in the garden. I'll save the seeds when I get home tonight.
Thanks! Jen |
