Here is a link that might be useful: datils on ebay

Your post caught my attention. I grew up in Fort Lauderdale, But my grandma
was born and raised in St. Augustine. All my life she had Datil pepper plants ,
I especially like them when she cooked blackeye peas.

The last time I bought seeds was from a company called datil do it. But I just checked,
and they don`t seem to sell them anymore.

I will be honest..... I stopped consuming them because my stomach got to the point it
could not handle it ..... But maybe I should try again. They have a wonderful flavor to them
( not just hot)

Not quite sure what to think about the web sites saying they are so "rare" I remember
grandmas little bush loaded with peppers.

Okay.....now I want some !

Thanks for the memory, D'Ann! I can't imagine how hot they're going to be, but I can't resist trying to grow such an interesting heirloom. I plan to make hot sauce with them.

Ill, thanks for finding that source. Yes, let's split an order. I'm also making a pepper order from Tomato Grower's supply. I'll tell you about it later this afternoon.

Bill

would like to split some seeds with you or anyone else.
was going to bid on datils but don't need 36 seed. maybe 6 or so.

Also, have loads of seed from 2nd year cayanne, but haven't tested them yet.

I've got cherry peppers, anaheim, poblano, hungarian wax coming up now.
But looking for more exotic seeds. Only need a few, as the fruit will bear enough to reproduce zillions.

In the hot pepper forum under exchanges there is naga jolakia seeds available for sase from uncle steve.

eaglejohn,
I just put the datil seeds in my "ebay watching"
do you know how much the bids go up to generally ?

You are so right about not needing 36 seeds.
I have found that pepper seed arn`t viable for more that a year. At least for me.

In fact, I gave Treefrog my last datil pepper seeds that were 2 years old
and he didn`t have any with them.

And we know treefrog can grow some veggies !

d'ann,
seeds aren't 2 years old, just the plants. cleaned and dried some peppers yesterday and saved some seed before dehydrating. Going to do the paper towel thing and see if i get germination.
