You're not alone... I got a LOT (well, not 33...) of pepper plants this year. I had to give a few away, and I still have two in pots that I sadly didn't have space for. I recommend giving a few to friends/family that garden, and that way you can keep as much or as little as you want, without...
Well, if you're looking to grow them (which I assume you are), you can plant them like that or crack them open to reveal the almond-like seed inside. I believe they need a fairly long cold period to germinate.
I learned this information from this video. I reccomend you watch it, it might help you.
Not sure if you posted updates further back in this thread (I just found it), but how are the cherry seeds doing?
I have some strawberry plants that do produce fruits, but it's just that all the squirrels keep taking most of them. 🤬
Also, I have grown melons before, I just didn't check them...
