Think about seed saving now

For some of us cross pollination is a real problem, and for me the cross pollination rate is lowest for the first fruits of the year because its between spring wild flower season and summer flower season so native bee populations are low. That being said, I grow a lot of different varieties so I try to start bagging buds as soon as I can so that I can reuse bags, and also rebag certain plants later in the season if no fruit develop in the bag on the first try (rare but it does happen). It is also wedding season so drawstring sachets should be easy to find at places like Walmart. For peppers you can buy cheap organza/tule net fabric and bag entire branches or small plants.
