smokemaster,
you are amazing,
now do you or anyone else have any of those peppers for trade??

You do a lot of trades and buy a lot of seeds too.

All it takes is 1 seed to grow and 1 pod full of fertile seeds to keep things going.
I've only a few seeds (1-5 maybe) of most of the seeds I listed.

I only grow 1 of each plant I have seeds for.

All are in containers so most are smaller than they would be in larger pots or in the ground.
I do have lots of Manzano and orange habaneo seeds though.

X was the hard one,I lucked out.
I just got the seeds from Peppermania-Beth late in the season.It has a few buds on it now.

Addicted? Who me?
Naaaaaaaa.

I've only have between 400 +500 varieties of seeds.
There are thousands out there I've never heard of yet.
It's like collecting coins except I get to grow and eat them along with trade them etc.

If it wasn't for the people at sites like this I'd never have access to most of the stuff I've collected and grown or will be growing.

I try and keep the garden Gods happy and when things go right. I have seeds to trade and give to those in need as others have done for me and are still doing to help me in my quest for another new variety of pepper to grow. :)

Not having a winter in So. Cal. helps a lot too.
I can grow year round.Whooo Hooo!
It would suck if I lived back east or somewhere they get that cold white stuff for several months a year.

When I first started growing Chiles I couldn't make up my mind on what ones to grow first....
I took the easy way out,I'll grow them all. LOL

I can hear the Alphabet song now-Follow the bouncing ball...Sing along...

Anahiem,Brown Berebere......

HEEYYY!!! Living back East does not suck!! :'(

of course.. we hardly get any show here.. But I used to live in So Cal and not having 4 true seasons was weird for me.

Very cute idea Mark, good luck.

smokemaster,

You are a man I would surely follow.
I too composed /compiled 1000 names and attributes of Chilli peppers in my blog devoted only to Hot chilli peppers .
The address is as under,

http://sambarpodi.blogspot.com/

You may find it surprising but I was born in a chilli pepper wholesale market, the biggest of its kind in those days.
That and other stories are there.

Do drop in if you have time.

I have the difficult problem of living in northern Illinois,
lots of white stuff, I will be asking in a later post for help setting up some sort of cheap/indoor/seed start-up/pre grow, pepper planting plaza in my basement; with a shorter growing season this is going to be very neccessary. But I still hope to find some of those peppers for the letters E, K, Q, U, X, Y, & Z, I thought that it would be cool/fun to have an A-Z pepper party with a dish made with a pepper from A-Z. Would it be better to post asking for a specific pepper by name?? This is still new to me, I have only just started trading, and I find it almost as much fun as the growing and eating of said peppers.

Thanks for any and all help,
mark:)

Yes, Mark, you show all the signs lol. Smokemaster, I'm in Minnesota where that white stuff comes to see us quite regularly and brings the cold, ice, frost...all those creepy friends so starting the seeds inside is the only way to grow many of the peppers. I'm also always on the watch for a new pepper that I don't have and like to share seeds just to keep them viable and spread the peppers around. Thanks to you and many like you who share the peppers the pool is ever increasing...this is all good to my way of thinking.

Some people around here would love some snow here right now.
Another wild fire started around 10 last night.

It's burning through housing tracks this time.
Not through just the Natl. Forrest like the one a while back.
Santa Anna winds to 70 mph at the fire Zone.
It's just north of me comming west in my direction but going away-north-it would have to come south west to get here.
I've been watching the helecopters going into Van Nuys Airport for fuel.
Electric keeps going off just enough to make the computer restart.
I posted something a while ago on here but I don't see it,the juice was making the computer restart about the same time.Maybe it's on some other board or site. LOL

They are evacuating patients from Olive View hospital to the hospital up Sepulvida a few miles away.Lots of siens going up and down Sepulvida out front all night.

It's taken out some mobile home parks,Houses and Apt. buildings and nowhere near under control.
Because of the wind only the heavy water dropping stuff can do drops.
Nasty stuff going on.
So far only 2 reported minor injuries.

Thanks naturegirl_2007 I have K & Y just looking for E, Q, U, X, & Z now.

Hey smokemaster_2007 are you O.K.?? I hope that the fires stay away from you.

mark:)

I'm ok.
The fire stayed pretty much north of me.Raining ashes here and smells like fire...
I work nights and didn't get any sleep Fri. so I spent the day checking my eyelids for lite leaks.Just woke up in time to start work.

Vlkno,I sent an E-Mail about seeds last night/this morning.

With the power messing up my computers are acting wierd from being reset so much I guess.

The winds dead right now and I haven't seen the news yet since this morning.
I don't know when the wind died.If it died this afternoon or just tonight.
Fire creates it's own wind though so I won't know if they got any of it under control or not.Last I heard it was headed to the area that burned a month ago and they were hoping it would run out of fuel and they could get the upper hand.
I don't see as many helecopters flying around tonight.
Unless there is another fire somewhere else I'd think thats a good sign.

Let me know about the seeds.
