To Hans Zerbes re getting seeds from chili plants. Leave one or two of the healthiest and best looking chilis on the bush to ripen fully. Pick when full color is achieved and hang them on a string (needle and cotton through the stem) to dry. Take out the seeds when they are fully dried and save until planting time. It wouldnt hurt to get another (same type) chili plant from a nursery to help with healthy cross-pollination so that you maintain a good genetic strength.
