For just a few seeds, glue, or organza bags will do.

Yes, crossing is much higher with peppers, I started growing lots of peppers never bagged b'c I found out very quickly that isolation cages were necessary, and I had no intention of making those isolation cages.
So I stopped growing peppers. But before that I had grown a few that came true, family ones where the seeds were given to me.
Last time I looked they were still listed in the SSE Yearbook, and we're talking maybe 30 years ago when I was still growing at the old farm after moving back home from Denver.
