I Saved 4,800 Tabasco Pepper Seeds. I Do Not Need 4,800 Pepper Plants

I pulled 160 dried Tabasco peppers from last summer and somehow ended up with nearly 4,800 seeds. I do not need 4,800 pepper plants.

Mid-February in Oklahoma City isn’t time to plant them outside yet, but it is the perfect time to start a few indoors. These seeds survived last summer’s heat, wind, and storms — and now they’re ready to do it all over again.
