Been meaning to get in here and post an update. Brought all my pepper plants indoors a while back and they are doing nicely in the new grow room. Also sprouted some more Lindberg seeds indoors in perfect conditions, and out of 6 seeds from each variety, got 6x more Jobitos, 3x Rosita Red, 2x...

How is everyone's plants doing? These Jobitos are about 18 inches tall and the largest one has a few pepper pods, about 1/4" and growing! Can't wait to taste them in a couple weeks! Not sure what the deal was with the guy who had to wait an entire year to get peppers. These are doing well since...

OK, I'll bump this thread to the top with an update on my plants. The curling leaves and slow growth on these Jobitos turned out to be heat stress. We had a scorching June here in northeast Alabama with many 95-100+ days and it was tough on the small plants. After putting them in the shade they...

I'm jealous of all these nice looking plants! There is something going on with my Jobitos and Margaretinos that has them stressed out and stunted. I've got a lot of different peppers going right now, but I'm no pepper growing expert. They are all in the same type of soil with same fertilizer...

Out of 5 seeds of each variety I ended up with 4 Jobito, 2 Margaretino, 1 Rosita Red. The others did not germinate for me. I just now started sprouting 9 more seeds of each variety today so I will let y'all know how it goes. The Jobito started off strong but now 2/4 are suffering some kind of...

Would it be possible to put some supplies on a boat and deliver it directly to a Venezuelan port? Does anyone here live in Florida and have access to a boat that could be hired to make the trip?

My first Margaretino finally sprouted! :D 

Shorerider how difficult was it for you to germinate the Margaretino? So for I've got 4/5 Aji Jobitos, one Rosita red, and none others sprouted. 

SmokenFire have you sent money to Lindberg yet on these latest orders? Things are getting pretty serious in Venezuela; it may not be possible to send money much longer.   http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-05-12/raw-venezuela-looter-burned-alive-while-streets-filled-people-killing-animals-food

On April 20th I planted 5 of each Lindberg variety. First sprout was an Aji Jobito on May 7, or 18 days later. These are in pots outside and it has been 80s during the day, low 60s sometimes dipping into the 50s at night here in northeast AL. As of today there are two Jobitos and one Rosita Red...

Anyone care to take a guess why there is so much variability in germination success rate? Temperature, PH, soil mixture, moisture, etc? I planted 5 seeds of each variety yesterday in soil pots outdoors so we'll see what happens...temps here in north AL are mid-high 70s during the day and mid 50s...

Shorerider how long did it take for that Margariteno to grow and produce ripe fruit? And how long is seed germination taking for everyone? Just got my Lindberg seeds in a couple days ago.....thank you Dru (SmokenFire) for sending them. 

Wasn't Margariteno one of the varieties that nobody could get to sprout last year? 

The information age is here and we are each able to easily access tons of information from all corners of the world, that we would have never been exposed to in another age. Some people take advantage of it and some people don't. This is an opportunity for us farmers/gardeners to bring value to...

You know what, never mind. Why in the world should I go through all the trouble of uploading a bunch of photos just to be ridiculed, mocked, and attacked by the peanut gallery, who can't learn because they already know everything there is to know about everything?   "A closed mind gathers no...
