The Hot Pepper

Orange you proud?

Does he need a job? Ship him out to California

Hahaha! I looked at the little cup that he started it in just a few days ago and thought "it's probably time to give up on this."

I'll be interested to see if we can keep it going to the point that it actually fruits.

Soak freshly extracted citrus seed in water over night. Carefully cut off tough seed coat with razor blade. Place on damp paper towel in a ziploc and put it on a heat mat or router. Seeds germ pretty quickly for me this way. Many many citrus will not grow true though.

Thanks!

Malarky, he actually soaked it in straight water until the seed casing completely softened - more than a week - before putting it into starter soil. That was the real surprise - that it took over a month even after that point!

I just had a Pink Tiger pepper sprout yesterday from seeds I planted three months ago.

Wow - three months for a chile!

I planted some years ago that never sprouted. Does that count?

Only if we're giving out awards for failure..
