26101Q.My seeds are brown, and do I freeze or refrigerate?
I want to save my banana and bell pepper seeds for planting next year, but they are dark brown in color. Are they viable? I am drying them super well and I have small glass jars to store them in when they are ready. Also, do they need to be stored in the fridge or freezer? Thank you so very much and have a most blessed day. Susie

Certified ExpertA.Hm... They shouldn't be dark brown. I would test a few in soil just to check the germination. Unfortunately, your photo of the seeds didn't come through, so I am unable to see them.
If you test for germination and find them to be viable, then you can store them in the refrigerator.

44883Q.Why Does My Banana Pepper Plant Look Like It’s Growing Blueberries?
I planted 2 banana pepper plants back in April. The plants are now about 1 1/2 tall. There are no peppers growing but there are little bunches of green balls and purple balls that resemble tiny blueberries. I don’t like blueberries and would not plant them. I have these pants growing in a raised garden bed. I’m confused on what the plant actually is.
