Starting over

15 years ago

It's been many years since I've grown peppers beyond one to two plants per year. Ever since I moved up north of 60. It seems all my seeds for the most part have past their life span and I'm getting very little to no germination.

Trying not to sound like the usual pepper newbie is anyone interested in selling some seeds? I'd rather not go through a online store as their prices are ridicules.

As I live in a climate with 4 months of summer "22 hours of sun in summer" plants spend most of their life inside. I'm looking for rebuilding my collection with mostly ornamentals which are very happy pot grown in pots.

Currently I've got some bhut jolokias, prairie fire and some basic habs growing and doing great but want to get some new and interesting peppers.

Anyone that can help with anything would rock!

You don't have an email available on your GW page.

I think I can help you out restarting with a few varieties (ornamental and others). Send me an email.

Email is now working, took aprox 10-15 tries.

Anyone else experiencing issues with gardenweb lately? I keep getting api invalid date errors when I submit changes on my profile. I couldn't even create a new account with out being sent back a error page in XML format listing paths and cgi/api errors. FYI, I'm a web developer so no I didn't simply imagine the errors on the page. I do actually under stand them :0)

Sorry, Not trying to push this to the top again I've already gotten a few people willing to help me stock my seeds again. Thanks mates :D

I have one more request. I work for a multimedia company and one of our non-profit clients would like to do a fundraiser centred around heat and keeping warm. I believe this one is coats for kids. I was approached back in March by one of our guys who knew of my love for peppers and asked me if I would take down a Bhut jolokia as the main attraction of the fundraiser. I agreed, Yes I know, nuts...

I've had one last year so I know what I've gotten myself into. The idea scares the be-jebus out of me but it's for a good cause. To this I started 3 new jolokia plants months back to get some fresh peppers but just as they started to bloom flowers my wifes F'n cat pissed all over the plants and they dam near died. With that no fresh peppers in time for the fundraiser.

This whole fundraiser and situation is what sparked me to start seriously looking at my seeds and get back into growing. Problem is still no fresh jolokia pepper.

Is there anyone that is able to get me a few fresh, close to fresh bhut jolokia peppers ASAP? Fund raiser is early October.

Thanks

hahahaha, Chris, I figure you will get a dozen or so offers. Like I said, I had given about 100 ripe Bhuts away the day before you asked. But nevertheless, your seeds went out with today's mail. Should be all set for next year.
