Hi everyone! I'm looking for any and all hot peppers to grow. I'm not being picky as I just started on my hot pepper obsession. I have a few things to trade (please see my trade list) but they wont be 100's of seeds in the trade. Please let me know how many seeds you would like and/or ask and I'll let you know how many I have. Since I'm new to this I wanted to make sure I had no hybrids from the 2013 season and didn't keep any of the seeds that even might be suspect. Thanks for looking! Genie

robeb I think that box-man was asking about plants growing next to each other exchanging fruit traits, not seeds. ---------------------------------------------------------- That question was answered by "rockguy". In general, x-pollination can only affect the seeds , not the current fruit. In the case of crossing an extremly hot pepper with a sweet pepper where the seeds and the membrand on which they are formed may be consumed, one might experience some heat. But if you carve out and throw away the seeds, the flesh of the sweet pepper will remain unaffected. So that heat is coming from the seeds. This is a unique thing about peppers. With most fruits the seeds either are not consumed and/or there is no way that our pallet can tell the difference.

Hello zanderspice. I do have 2 other kind of Philippine Pepper and its called Siling Haba or (Capsicum annuum var. longum) and Siling Lara or (Capsicum annuum var. grossum) Yes These are from the Philippines. By the way I live here in Manila. I can send you these in exchange for Habanero Red and Yellow. You can find the images here http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images;_ylt=A0oGkxLNzhZHG8IAVlRXNyoA?ei=UTF-8&p=siling%20lara&fp_ip=PH&fr2=tab-web&fr=yfp-t-203 http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images;_ylt=A0Je5mXWzhZHDGgAgxSJzbkF?p=siling+haba&ei=UTF-8&fr=yfp-t-203&fp_ip=PH&x=wrt&js=1&ni=20 they are all very hot

I am seeking pepper-for-pepper seed trades. If interested please see my thread in the Seed Exchange using the following link: Seeking Pepper Trades If you make hot sauces out of your homegrown peppers as I do then you need homegrown garlic. :-) Another trade option I am now offering is top quality, organically and sustainably produced German Brown rocambole hardneck garlic bulbils (NOT bulbs) in trade for your pepper seeds. These bulbils are nice size (1/4 inch avg. diameter) peak quality stock remaining from my fall planting which I completed on November 05. German Brown is a hardy, cold climate variety, my favorite garlic (excellent roasted). This is generally the proper time to be planting garlic in most areas, especially zones 5 -6. Getting late for zones 3 and 4 but can be planted as long as the soil can be worked. If stored properly they might keep until spring planting time, but no guarantees. Planting bulbils is a cheap, easy to ship, minimal-risk method for acquiring and growing out a bunch of garlic. Downside is they take a couple years to size up to market-grade bulbs. Anyone who has priced gourmet-type seed garlic bulbs knows how expensive that stuff is to acquire, and most suppliers will not even guarantee that their stock is disease-free. Bulbils are produced above ground, and as such do not carry soil-borne pathogens harmful to garlic or other alliums that could unintentionally be introduced into your soil. They are a safer way to introduce garlic into your gardening repertoire. Please post any responses or replies on my pepper trade thread or PM me - I do not want to clog up this thread. -Tom
