Oh no, where are you moving to that they can't go? :-( DM, they look absolutely awesome. If I were within two states' driving distance, I'd be typing this from the road, haha, especially some Trinidad ones. Alas, CA is too far!

Best of luck with the move!

Showing your age?

Great of you to try and spread the heat.

U haul won't fit them all,or no space for those cute little babies?
Lots of work getting those beauties started.
Hope they find a good home.

Sorry about the heartbreak your going through leaving them behind.
I feel for you.

Sorry to hear that your move is going to derail your pepper growing season. Those are some great varieties and some great plants. I am sure you won't have much trouble getting them adopted.
Bruce

Hey king of the road. Keep us posted. I imagine they will all be snapped up from craigslist, but if there are any left July 4th weekend, particularly the koreans, I may be able to meet up with you in Atlanta.

Dennis,

What part of Atlanta? I have two kids that live in Atlanta (30350) that are coming to visit in a couple weeks. I could bribe them to come get some for me.

So sorry to hear that you can not take them all. Best of luck in your future endeavor.....

Hey DMF... not to be mean, but Douglah doesn't mean "brown", it means "mixed" that's from my Trinidadian friend.
Pam

Well, "mixed" == "brown" in this case, doesn't it? ;)

I will be taking plants, but there are about 60 that won't make the trip. Excess germinants that I just don't have the heart to kill.

I have gotten ZERO response from craigslist. Same for the woman down near Macon that is trying to sell her superhot pods there too.

I'm just east of town past Stone Mountain. Have them call me or email for address.

Dennis

I live in CA can I get some PLEASE!!!!

Douglah means-slang mixed race in Trinidad as far as people goes.
But Douglah was a name for a brown podded super hot.
Was reffered to as a 7 pot or Scorpion.
But back then there was little difference between a scorpion and 7 pot.
A lot of conversation was directed as to if they were just variations of the same thing.
With current breeding etc. there is a definate difference between the 2.

See Cardi site for the original 7 pots and scorpions.

What people consider Scorpions and or 7 pots has been bread into the peppers these days.
Tails are common for Scorpions where they weren't common back then.
Now nasty looking pods are called whatever the vendor wants.
Stability means little or nothing these days.
Peppers are bread for looks as well as heat though either doesn't have to coenside with each other.

Now that people are selling Red Douglah they call whatever they want a douglah.
Look for a yellow and orange next....
Crosses and unstable stuff is just named for whatever it grows at the time.
To me a red Douglah isn't a Douglah.
It;s a Douglah cross or red scorpion or 7 pot,whatever these days.
Boils down to what the grower wants at the time and what they will pay for the seed.

Update: My move got delayed so the craigslist ad has now been running for two months and I do actually get the occasional response. My 80 original plants are now down to 35. Average buyer leaves with 4.9 plants and 21 fewer $$.

At the moving sale a month ago the sales manager listed the garden plants as an item in the sale description. Hoards of ladies arrived with shovels and turned my pleasant garden into a cratered scape reminiscent of the Somme. But only one pepper plant sold - the 3 year old serrano loaded with red pods. People were actually scared of the gnarly pods on the other plants, mothers warning their children not to touch.

Of nine I have only one BJ left, "little" Immortal Beloved, and could have sold more. The gorgeous Chocolate Scotch Bonnet with its hundred pods went early to a Jamaican lady who left me with a jar of her commercial jerk sauce. Orange marzano went immediately, too, as did the one year-old jalapeno tree. Never seen a pepper so productive so early. One guy wanted all my Red Fatalii but I kept one runt. I like RFs a lot - will grow more.

All buyers were directed here, so we may all benefit.

P.S. I can't give Japone's or small jalapenos away.

Dennis

Good deal Dennis. Glad the season wasn't a total loss for you.

My guess is with Japones, people don't know what to do with them. Do you tell them that Japones means Japanese? And that they're great green, red, AND dried.

With the small Jalapenos, it's all about penis envy. People want LARGE Jalapenos. I like the smaller varieties myself. They're much more productive and usually hotter.

Anyhow. Glad to hear your plants found homes.
