Wonder Where That Pepper Joe Went?

must be buzy with the growing season ...
Nope, not yet. I ordered seeds from him in October and he sent me his 2010 catalogue.
The only pepper that wasn't hand drawn was his Peter Pepper and it's a photo...
...and there it is, pointing right at you...like you're staring down the barrel of a gun.

he may have realized he had come to a place that knew as much/more than he knew about peppers...
When he first talked about ghost peppers but couldn't name his variety I was shocked. As a seed purveyor you would think he would know the variety.
the scotch bonnets yellows turned out to be peach habs and the pumpkin hab and goldenhabs turned out to be orange habs from what i remember. The funny thing is i dont even think he sells peach habs. I certainly was not laughing then!last year from seedrack I got "bhut jolokia" that ended up being Caribbean red habs, but I can't complain because they have paid for themselves then some, but what really matters is that you get what you order, plain and simple.

Hi all,
First post, but since I am new to the growing from seeds side of things, and most of those seeds are from Pepper Joe, I was wondering just how inaccurate (from personal experience) his sales are?
Am I likely to get one or two breeds that are incorrect, or only one or two that ARE correct?

A couple years ago I grew a tabasco and a couple of charleston hots from Pepper Joe. Those plants looked like hell. Very pale and shrivelled foliage with mediocre fruit set. A stark contrast to the 40 other lush and bountiful pepper plants from other suppliers. Then I tried some of his orange glow tomatoes and all of them got blossom end rot. Again, no problem with other tomatoes in the yard. This guy might be shipping unstable crosses or something like that. I found a pack of his pumpkin hab and have sprouted a couple for the 2011 season. If these don't turn out I'm not wasting my time with Joe's stuff anymore.
Justaguy - Thanks for the welcome.
Diabolus - Thanks for the info. Guess I won't really know until the end of the year if I paid a lot of money for good seeds or rubbish.
Might be worth seeing if I can get some good seed connections to borrow/steal/trade with before I spend more money on commercial seeds.
