These are some pictures to show just what can happen if you remove the "I can't!" from your vocabulary.
Special note. When growing inside, there are no pollenators, or insects flying and taking the nectar. Use a cotton swab, gently swab the inside of the flower, and do the same to each flower on that plant, or plant of the same breed. If you grow two breeds of the same type, there may be a cross/hybrid.
There are plenty of articles on cross breeds, and hybrids, and the possible benefits, or problems that can occur, such as not getting a stable variety, or the seeds you save will not give you back the plants you were hoping for.
This year, I am happy to say that I didn't say 'I can't!' I said 'Why not?'. Now I can say, "I did it, and I don't regret it!"

| Some new tomatoes. Cherry. About three weeks old. Late in the season, but I want to see what can happen. |
 |
| Flowers! That means peppers soon! |
 |
| Look close! Some flowers have dropped, and started to turn to peppers. |
 |
| Time to transplant into larger pots. Sweet Red peppers, Chocolate peppers, And in the background, Fuzzy Wuzzy saladette tomatoes. Seeds from Annapolis Seeds. |
 |
| A sweet red pepper plant, with flowers. Was started in February. |
 |
| The tomatoes in the background are sitting on the floor. They are from two feet from the tops of the pots, up to almost four feet high. Started way too early, but I'll have fresh tomatoes much earlier then I expected. There are flowers already blossoming on some plants. |
