Peppers

[4x4]

Is it possible/viable to get the seeds out of a pepper from the supermarket and plant them?
What are the chances of them producing and how would I go about it?
Thank you.

They will almost certainly grow but personally I don't see the point as they are a) quite possibly a variety not suited to our shores, b) possibly an F1 so wouldn't come true anyway and c) no way of knowing if they're cross contaminated as peppers (sweet and hot) cross easily with each other and although quite possibly grown as a mono crop, there is no guarantees. Some people like to experiment but as I have a finite space I can give over to peppers I prefer to know what I'm growing.

Ok. Thanks for that.
I'm on a tight budget space wise as well so I'll leave it.

I've sown some saved seed this year, it has produced 6 plants. I'll let you know what happens....
