does anyone have these seeds?

17 years ago

Last year I made the mistake of ordering seeds from Reimers. I wish i would have stumbled onto this site before i ordered but oh well. I tried germinating them last year and this year but i have gone through all of my seeds.....10 to 15 each packet, and cant get them to germinate. I have since bought from other sites with no problems...so i know i am doing it right. Of the seeds I was unsuccessful germinating, They are as follows

Fatalli Hot, St Helena Island hot pepper, Charleston Hot, Trinidad Perfume Hot, Butan Commercial #8 Hot, Trinidad Seasoning Hot, St Lucia Seasoning Hot, and Tobago Seasoning Hot.

If anyone has these seeds, I would really appreciate a few. I do have some seeds of my own i would be willing to trade if you like....I will just be danged if i will buy from reimers again. I am having trouble finding sites that sell all these peppers.

THanks,

Rob

    Reimers is the pitts I have had extremely low germination rates using there seeds. They do have quite the selection, however not worth the effort

    greenkid....I have tried germinating Fatalli seeds from Reimers, Every once in a while they would germinate enough to sprout a little root and then stop growing. I would really appreciate some seeds and if you want i have other seeds that i am willing to trade you if you want.

    Thanks,

    Hey Rob, I had great success with my Fatalis last year, and I still have them all overwintering on my Hydro table in the heated Greenhouse, they are MASSIVE now and I am hoping for a major crop this year...They germinated very easy for me, just lightly covered in a heated propagatar under lights, I still have some seeds to swap from the original packet and lots and lots of my own...What chilli seeds do you have, I'm particularly wanting Aji Crystal and Purple Hab, but I love em all so anythin interesting I don't have would be cool.

    Did you try cross country if you wanted plants?

  • 17 years ago

    greenkid, i only need enough to germinate one plant, but for safety sake....maybe 6 or so.....do you have any other interesting breeds?

    Hey Rob, I sent you an email about the seeds...

    I bought some seeds from Reamers (sic) because they were the only place that sold them. They didn't germinate, I wrote and complained and could not believe the response. They wanted to know not just how I tried to germinate them but the composition of the potting soil, the average moisture level, mean daytime temp, mean nighttime temp, how many times I blinked while watching an hour-long TV show (well, not really). There explanation for the seeds not germinating - and I swear this is true: that even though I was using potting soil, the seedlings would eventually be moved to a hydroponics unit, so the seeds would not germinate! I'm serious! Seeds that knew what was coming so they refused to show they face.

    Reamers eventually refunded my money then banned me from ordering from them again.

    Whats the deal with seeds from reimers. Do they not grow true or do they not germinate.

  • 17 years ago

    Smokemaster,
    I went to their website, and i dont think they start shipping til april....also you have to spend a lot of money because they wont just send one plant, you basically have to buy a flat at 4 bucks plant or so. are you sure they ship whenever? I would be worried about them freezing too.

    Cross country was excellent. This is my second year of buying from them. I purchased 18 chiles and 6 tomato plants. ALL of them wonderfully healthy. (And they're shipping them 3000 miles from the east coast to the west coast.) Last years crop was excellent too.

    I too can vouch for Cross Country. I have been doing business with them for a few years. Everytime, they followed through or were willing to fix.

    Great supplier but you have to buy 12 plants. I'm always running out of room as I'm sure most of you are........LOL

    I LOVE tomato grower's supply! They have most, if not all of the varieties you mentioned.
