See, that's what I'm talking about right there. How do I argue with that?

I have never gotten what I ordered from Pepper Joe, but have always quietly returned as a shopper due to customer service. Even though all 3 of my past orders have been messed up, and there seems to be a high number of orders in general that are messed up, these issues seemed to get resolved...

It depends on how they are dried. If they are dried naturally, use them like you would any other pepper flake. If they are dehydrated, I don't buy them. Experiment, its all personal preference.

Sometimes with tepin-like peppers I'll just cut the peppers in half and put the whole thing in the ground. Every seed in there germinates, just have to thin them out later.

Several peppers can take on that shape.

I just stab the bottom of mine with a knife.

I transplant them one they have produced 2 sets of true leaves.

I'm not sure about this variety, but if it originated in oaxaca theres a good chance that it is primarily used in the ways you've mentioned. That doesn't mean they can't be used in other ways, I think thats a cultural thing. My wife who is from Mexico says dried is the primary way to use it...

I have a fish pepper mother plant going this year and I'm looking to trade for any of the carribean varieties. If anyone is interested let me know. I have a ton of ghost pepper seeds to sweeten the deal if necessary. Thanks!

I did the same thing as well. I started off with 4 on the front porch just to see if I could do it and now I have at least 1300 plants and a business. There should be a warning label on seed packets warning you of the addictive properties of growing peppers.

I have never soaked my seeds and I usually get above 90% germination. My business partner soaks them and I haven't seen any difference in germination rates or times. Most people recommend it so there might be something to it, but I haven't noticed a difference.

I use it all the time. I only use ferts that I can produce on my own so this stuff comes in handy.

There's alot to be said for this Florida soil. I mix cheap compost/cow manure with soil from the backyard for my pots with great success. Saves alot of money too.

It was very unlikely, that's why I posted it. I've planted around 600 seeds so far this year alone and haven't seen it before.

The cheapest garbage compost and topsoil wally-world had to offer. i'll go out there and check out the brand in a bit and let you know, but I don't think it had anything to do with it. Just a fluke with a couple super seeds.
