Grow free pepper plants The next time youre chopping up a pepper scrape the seeds off of the placenta and put them to one side. Grab a takeaway box, fill it with samp compost and add your seeds. Lightly cover the seeds with a more compost and close the lid to make a mini green house. Leave them in a warm sunny location and in a few weeks they’ll be ready to move into a bigger pot and they’ll be producing peppers in no time. | The Michael Griffiths
