How to Cross Breed Vegetables

This is just a small guide to farming and how to make your very own pepper genetically engineered by YOU. I have peppers and I would like to show you all how to combine peppers, tomatoes, and many other vegetables that flower. For this I am using hot banana peppers and 2 inch red mystery peppers, but you can use most vegetables.
Supplies

You will need these items:
Q-tip.
dog poop bag (empty)
everything you would need to regularly grow a plant.
two vegetable plants in the same family such as chili pepper plants in the capsaicin anuum family.
Wait

First, you first must wait for your plant (in my case peppers) to flower such as the image above.
Pollinate

Second, grab a Q tip and and take pollen from your first plant (the father plant) and rub it onto the second plant (the mother plant).
Protect the Plant

Next, gently drape the doggy bag over the mother plant flower that you pollinated to protect it from other pollinators such as bees or flies. Don mj gn this until the actual vegetable start growing and the flower disappears. Note: DO NOT use black bags use see through clear bags.
Wait (part Two)

Lastly, now plant the seed of your vegetable. Be aware that the genetic changes will only be shown in the vegetable that grows from the seed of the vegetable that was cross bred. For example: the seed of the flower that was cross pollinated will have the changes.
Repeat (optional)

If you want to, do this until you get the exact thing you are look for.
