hello everyone

I guess I'' start by saying...
I live in ontario and this is going to be my first year growing peppers (and many other herbs/vegies :D)!
I may have just started but, as with most things, I'm going all out.

My parents happen to be big on gardening as well and we have a large area to work with as well as a little greenhouse and indoor space... so expect to see big things from me in the near future!

I already have prolly over 20 kinds of peppers now... besides the seeds I started in like january I've been stopping at just about every greenhouse and garden center a pass by in the
last couple months grabbing at least one of anything that catches my eye... wow... actually typing that out I feel a little obsessed... :<
anyways...

some of the peppers in my collection Im most exited about are: caribian red hab, ring of fire, medusa (not hot, but still awsome), big bomb, jamaican yellow, and explosive ember
and then theres the classics... jalapeno, cayanne, plain ol' habs, hot wax, ect
I'll try to get some pics up tomorrow.

also, was wondering... where do people get these pepper seeds with names like "CSA 11232A" and code name type stuff like that? lol
pretty sure i read they were rarer wild varieties or something like that...

Hey Jamie, welcome from Australia!

:welcome:

The code name type stuff is just numbers given by seed banks, and as some of the rarer varieties don't actually have a common name, they are usually just called by one of these numbers.... I think.

Hope ya have a great season! :dance:
 
thanks guys!
lol... great greeting pic there spicy chicken :D

I don't want to turn this into a begging for information thread...
but would you happen to know of any of theses rare seed banks that are located in canada?
thanks in advance :)
 
Welcome from central Texas, good luck with your season. There are a lot of Canadian growers here so you should get plenty of help.

Cheers Mike
 
Welcome neighbour..what part of Ontario? :welcome: Do you container grow? I have had some success with seeds from Europe, but my next purchase will be more reliable from the friendly folk on this site. Good luck!! :)

I live in a tiny town about half way between barrie and north bay.
All my peppers are in containers still, been waiting for a good day to put the ones that out going in the garden out there... but I'm still going to be keeping a few of my favs out on the deck in containers.

thanks for the warm welcomes everyone!

Also, I tried to visit that facebook page, but it just wouldn't load :<

EDIT:
forgot to say... I took some pics before it got totally dark this evening, but it looks like their going to take a few hours to upload/resize...
so when they finally finish I'll be starting a thread in the growing forum with pics and a full list of all the types of peppers im growing and have seeds for.
(also see my tomatos and tomatillos in the background!! :P)
