Can one use the seeds in Bell Peppers to get plants for next year plants?

Love Yellow an Reds myself Orange ain't bad but the plants can be a bit hard to find around here.

If they are a hybrid pepper to begin with I don't think there is any gaurantee that they will be the same pepper when they produce tho...

Thanks for that reminder As I really don't know if those seeds I saved from last years were hybrid plants or not,tags didn't say nothing but Red,Yellow,Orange Bell Pepper. I can double check that as there still in the ground with the plants.

If you grew them together last year ??It is likely they cross pollenated. No telling what you will end up with.If you had any hot peppers close by you might have Hot Bell peppers.

True. I would have to go ahead and raise a couple of them just out of curiosity.
