I started an experiment last fall. Every year I get a lot of tomato volunteers popping up in the garden, so I want to know, if pepper seeds would sprout too after being in the ground throught the winter.

I planted many different kind hot and sweet pepper seeds in many spots on our yard. It will be interesting to see if any of the peppers will start to grow after beeing in the frozen ground.

An other thing which I may try is, if the seeds in some of the ornamental peppers, which have been in the plants through the winter, will sprout.
Red peppers in dried up Trifetti plants looked so cool that I left them in the pots.
