Hi

All my peppers and chillies got mixed up (a small boy had fun with the labels) and as I did not know which one was which I planted all of them in the same bed, there was a lot of them, really too many but I use a lot of them in cooking and I pickle a lot too.

I am wondering now if they are going to pollinate each others and lose their different taste.

there was some sweet Mini Bell, long green spanish, Hungarian Wax, Friggitello, Ciliegia Picante and some Inferno.

I am worry that the all going to be hot!

many thanks

Dear amo, the simple answer is, they will be fine.

Hi Amo

Oldherbaceous is correct - he always is

Cross-pollination will only affect the seeds that form, not the fruit they're in.

Hi Oldherbaceous and Alan

Thank you to both of you I am looking forward to the harvest now but I will not be saving seeds this year.
