"In 2006, Mark McMullan sold five sets of Naga Morich seeds on eBay to fund his website thechileman.org. He claimed to have obtained the seeds from a local Bangladeshi food merchant..." I can validate that because Mark and I went back to the shop once we had turned the nagas into snakebite...

Great. Thanks again. I do have a couple of the swing top bottles but more like half a pint each. I will wait until I find a sauce I like. Will let you know how it turns out.

Thanks all. I know I can just go get some new bottles, but I have beer bottles right here ready to go, rather than wait several days for new to be delivered.

Hello Apologies if this is in the wrong place, but could anyone shine any light on this leaf problem please. Unfortunately I don't know the history of the plant in detail as a friend gave it to me just a few days ago. It was being fed weak nutrient every other watering, but arrived with me in...

As nmorris279 said, germination will be less likely with seeds from a green/unripe pod. Still worth a try because Jalapenos can stay green for a long time and can still be ripe enough to have decent seed. You don't need to dry the seeds first, in fact that would be a disadvantage because they...
