Agreed! Great forum with helpful, friendly folks. The trick is to not go overboard by spending all my time here -- and by not planting every pepper known to man. :-)

Bob, I just started posting here -- so what you've read recently is the whole shebang. All the details about me (that are worth knowing) can be found in my profile.

BTW, I've settled in with overwintering habanero & anaheims (still bearing fine outside), and have started seedlings for pablano (Ferry-Morse), baby bell (saved seed from store bought peppers) and aji triturado (from McCormick crushed red pepper spice bought at Costco). The latter two are pretty much a lark. ;-)

Yo!

it's me, Tin :)
(let's leave the age alone)
At this time last year, i'd made my first post in this forum. I first got interested in hot pepper when i read an article naming the "top 10 hottest chile". after that, i'd GOOGLE around and ended here in GW, (not this Chile forum but the regular Seed Exchange forum) Didn't have much seed to trade except maybe a couple of varieties, I ran into cmpman1974 in that forum, traded, and also i've done alot of SASE. (ppl always gave me more then i needed, Great ppl) and someone pointed me straight to this forum, which i didn't know and ran into 'mister al' who gave me my first Red Savina (Thanks) and many other ppl also contributed and ideas and info too. I've planted so many kind and type that i've totally forgot the name of it!
after my first harvest, Katrina and Rita took every single plant away. Thanks to Bonnie, cmpman1974,(Chris)George and John i'm germinating thier chile seeds to start my 2nd year chilehead vet. "Thanks Guys!" Great place, forum and Great People!

NEXT!

Yes, thanks to all the generous folks! Without them, I wouldn't have known about the varieties outside of what was sold in the big box stores. I began in container garden in 2004 with seeds of peppers, tomatoes, and flowers. Since then after several moves, hurricanes, and life changes...I have returned to gardenweb. I am finally gardening again, this time with a small backyard garden. Though I no longer have any of the plants or seeds from these folks, my love of gardening continues today. I've winter sown dollar store seeds, and bought some plants from local nurseries. My kids are still eating tomatoes and peppers, and "talking" to the birds since I introduced gardening to them at young ages with the help of John_47, Trudi, Gonefishing, and Bakemom. Hopefully by seasons end, I'll have some seeds to trade. As we used to say in 2004, "happy gardening"!

Oh, and thanks also to Vera_eastern, and fieldermeister, and all the others who have been generous not only with seeds but with their wonderful advices. And I apologize if I spelled some of the usernames incorrectly...a 13 year hiatus will do that
