I actually can't figure out how to private message here yet. You can reach me at TheInfernoGreenhouse@gmail.com

You should try Aji Dulce 1 pepper (fruity when green; not sure about red), Randy Sine's Evil Jalapeno (tastes a bit like bacon; harvest green for that flavor), Chervena Chushka (harvest green and use in cooking; it has a bell pepper type taste, but a particularly nice one), and Orange Carbonero (I've only tried it when orange; it adds a special something to dishes when cooked; raw, it has a peach-type flavor). I thought they all had unique taste. Yatzy has a pretty unique taste, too (I might describe it as salty); Grandpa's Home is the only pepper I've found that tastes similar (well, a Candelight pepper tasted slightly similar, at least, when it had salt in its soil). White Cloud has a unique taste when orange and slightly dried on a sandwich.

Do you trade to Canadians? Thanks for all the tips and suggestions!

You're welcome.

I don't mail seeds to Canada, since I'm in the USA, although I could trade to Canadians who live in the USA.

It's against the Gardenweb rules for trading to do international trades last I checked.

I'm not sure what the seed export laws are from my country to Canada (I'd probably have to talk with my USDA representative to really find out what all I need to do to do things legally in layman's terms), but last I checked, pretty much all international exports/imports of seeds have some rules (which are usually catered to businesses; so, it's hard to know how they apply to individuals). Laws are different for different kinds of seeds, but I don't think they're as bad for tomatoes and probably peppers to Canada as for some other things.

I’m overstocked this year and would be willing to donate some if you want. I can’t use them and don’t want them to go to waste.

I still have quite a few seeds left. One final last call to see if anyone would like to trade. I received lots of tomatoes. I'd like some medium to mild peppers if possible. Thanks!

My list for SWAP won't be long but I will join. Have gobs of pepper seeds [a bunch from THE Smokemaster in '11' n '12'] but too old for a SWAP unless you are good at germinating older seed ['11' thru '14'] and want some.

Also if Brennan doesn't want anything on my SWAP list I could buy some of his extras, SASB or something. Will ad list soon.

If those seeds were stored in a cool dry area, they will still be plenty viable. I would try planting some just to see, but I have planted 5 year old seeds and gotten almost, if not the same germination rates as fresh seed. I would send the older seed and just put a note with each pack that is older and maybe not as viable as fresh.

"IF" is the big word. May sound crazy but I don't have a cool place [fridg is no no] to keep them cool year around, cept under the house and I'm too old to be doin that. I keep them dry tho. Gonna freeze them and am studying about germinating old seed. Yes, every year I use some of the old seed {this year I got one of Smokemaster's [2011] mystery mix seeds to germ. Lookn forward to see'n what it is.{ Now tomatoes is a diff't subject. I get them to seed easily at 7, 8 yrs or more.} Sending the old seed would be difficult for me. In a SWAP I hate to send 'bad' seed. Don't want a bad SWAP name. But, suppose if I make it clear and they want some, well ------. Thanx esox for the info.

By the way. Do any of you freeze seed? If so what do you use? Glass, plastic or ?

I know it has to be airtight.

Just a drawer or other place that doesn't get real hot or humid. I don't freeze or refrigerate seed at all.

Warmer temperatures in storage aren't the end of the world, per se. I had Yellow Pear tomato seeds with excellent germination after about six years in storage (in a room that got quite hot in the summer and quite cold in the winter, just inside a plastic bag with seed packets inside). Dryness is probably a bigger factor. It's generally pretty dry here.

However, if you don't have a cool place for storage, you could always try what I do now. I got some of those cheap completely-foam coolers they sell by the exit at Walmart in the summer (they're maybe $3 each), and now I store my seeds in those; they should at least help to stop temperatures from fluctuating quickly.
