Jill--Yes! I got all my original Basil seeds from you.

Now--just rubbing the dried "pods" will not get you all the seeds that can be had.
I, literally, took each little bloom-pod in hand and, using a wood toothpick, dug out 4-5 more
seeds from each of the "pods". They ARE in there!!!
Very tedious--but can be done while watching TV or something.

I will have plenty of L&L seeds...Thai basil also.

Hey! Did you know there is now a BLACK red pepper???
A woman at work (last summer) was eating one. I took out all the seeds.
The Pepper was store-bought--so not sure how the seeds will grow out. Just found this interesting....

I DID grow out a couple of your "Ornamental Black Peppers". They grew more upright and bigger
than the Purple ornamental peppers...
