I have a Tville friend named K, he lives and gardens in So Florida. A friend up here where I am was making salsa but it wasn't HOT enough said her son, etc.So I contacted K and he sent me a huge box with many different kinds of seeds,also pods as well.

I forgot to tell her that she had to sow seeds very early, about 3-4 weeks eariler than cold pepper seeds,as it were.

I am NOT a lover of HOT HOT peppers but did grow some many years ago, the problem being that they cross pollinate very easily and no way was I going to build isolation cages.

The one below is one I did grow, seeds from Richard a friend in W NYS,he was a fanatic about hot peppers and subbed to an international journal about them and was a also a very active member at several sites.

Here is one that I sent to SESE, and my seeds were from Richard.

I did send another one to SESE but they listed it not as it should be,I let them know about it.And they fixed it but not before seeds had gone out so I had to chase all over the place where they went to ask them to change it, and they ended up being offered in The SSE catalog,and many other places/

You can see the Joe's Long here and some of the places it ended up at.

Hot pepper seeds want warm bottoms so I used to put them on TOP of the lights on my plant stands.
