Howdy neighbor! Where in the evergreen state do you live? This is my first year for pepper growing, just have three starts from a local nursery so far, a bell, jalapeño, and a habanero. I hope to get a good start next year with some good seeds of known strains and have permanent raised beds in the garden for them to grow in with a removable cold frame. I have some seeds for the purple jalapeño on the way, may arrive today. I know its late, but I am going to try to get a couple started to get my feet wet with germinating peppers from seed. I put the wish list in my sig on a whim, but if you have any seeds that you are willing to donate I can send a SASE to you. Any seeds I collect this year will be stored until next year, so I am not wasting them. I was thinking of trying to grow one of the purple jalapeños indoors as a ornamental, not worried about pepper production but if it survives the winter it would get put out next year.
Heres to spice in life!
