Save something that you know is true to type - so not the white one. And try to choose a couple that no one else has mentioned. Don't put your hope on a single variety as sometimes you can open a pod and there aren't many seed/ they aren't mature/ pods drop off etc.

I was thinking of saving some seeds from all of them ( I will exclude the white ) I was more interested in how many seeds from each variety, for instance Aji Crystal doesn't have many seeds per pod so I have already isolated 5 pods.

[Scarlet]

Well I usually say try for 5 seeds minimum per person. 6-8 average but if the numbers are small per pod 3 or 4 is acceptable. There doesn't seem to be many participants yet. But on average there could well end up 12...or just half a dozen. With that in mind you will need at least approx 50 seed per variety - that would cover 10 peeps comfortably but you could always eek more out if needed. It is a bit of a guessing game early on. But if you could only manage to save 30 seeds that would be better than nothing. I find that home saved seed usually germinates very well so I think people would be happy with 3 seeds each at a push?

Probably not JJ, hopefully there will be enough interest here.

[stigs]

What date will we be sending seeds, I have a good few that will take a while to ripen, my reapers are still green and hard

[SimpleSimon]

I'm ready whenever. I have a few different ones but likely will be sending a sweet pepper unless any objects. Sweet choc from real seeds. It was great. Super early and really tasty. Looks great too. Isolated a whole plant in a seperate greenhouse so have plenty of seeds.

[farendwoman]

Not massive harvests from any of mine other than razzamatazz - but still pleased to have grown them.
All chillies, I would add, from last years chilli circle , so thank you all!
looking forward very much to trying different varieties next year.

[farendwoman]

sorry folks to give you all these!!

Hab peach - Have plenty of isolated seeds
7 Pot BBG - Only a few Isolated as there aren't many seeds in a pod and only a few of those are good.

Hi all,
I'm keen to join this swap. I have Kristian and Nigels isolated and saved from Realseeds.

Any thoughts on numbers and when we might be all in a position to be sending/swapping.

Cheers
Paul
