Grow List
A little bit of everything...will have to make a more concise list when I can. I know I have over 2 dozen or more varieties growing.
Seeds Wanted
Any kind of pepper. Hot or sweet,preferably ones I don't have yet, but am never closed minded to supposed 'duplicates'. I have jalapeno, for example, but maybe YOUR jalapeno has some kind of special attributes so I am willing to try Would like to increase my super hot collection. I do understand these are rare and expensive; however I do overwinter my peppers so your 'kids' and 'grandkids' would be safe in my hands. lol I live in a semi tropical zone where I garden year round. Crosses, whether accidental or intentional, are ok with me. :)
Seeds Available For Trade
Caribbean Red habanero, orange habanero, jalapeno, low growing cayenne, red bell, yellow bell, orange bell, Thai (small 1/4" x 3" fruit) I have a few more.... all were grown in my garden without pesticides or chemicals. However I will state I did not use any barrier methods for pure seeds so these seeds may or may not be crossed, just thought I would tell you up front.
