In over my head

[impending_bending]

I recently realized that I could never use all the plants I had. I then planted 200+ more seeds. I don't sell anything I just do it for fun, so not many are going out. I gave some to the local nursery but the guy doesn't want the not so famous ones. Friends have all they want. I'm soon going to be stuck with hundreds of pepper plants that will probably just go to waste. Help.

Hehe, sounds like something I'd do.
 
Tucson, perhaps?  I'd be happy to rescue a dozen or so.

Grow them all out and sell the powder or do some fresh pod auctions to cover the costs or make a few bucks.

I'm too lazy for that. Growing is a hobby, not good enough at it to make it a career.

Yes, as a matter of fact. West side. You?

I guess you could sell or give some away or its time to feed the compost pile.

 

[impending_bending]

Ha it seems such a shame to feed the compost pile aka the wash out back. Fortunately, it seems I may be able to give a few more away to geo

 

[chilli whisperer]

Give some away as gifts in pots

Already done that. Apparently I don't have enough friends

 

[chilli whisperer]

Lol too bad you can't ship plants,then you would

 

[Wulf]

Put them out on your front lawn with a sign saying "DO NOT STEAL".
 
They'll be gone by tomorrow.

Hire some "day laborers" to help tend, pick and process them. Rumor has it there are a few in AZ. Then you could sell a bunch of pods, make sauce and powders. Buy an extra coffin freezer. I feel your pain though. I was nearly overwhelmed by just 80 plants.

Craigslist is your friend, list as free or for a small fee. Don't provide your address in the Craiglist post as it has brought thieves to homes in the past. Let them call you for address or to arrange a pickup time, this way you have everyone's contact info in case something goes wrong.

 

[chilli whisperer]

You have 2 choices left :

1- you pot them up,and give them to neighbours

2-you pot them up,put a note on them with a messege,put them infront of a few peoples front doors,and ring the doorbell

 

[impending_bending]

there are actually some damned good ideas here

2-you pot them up,put a note on them with a messege,put them infront of a few peoples front doors,and ring the doorbell

I think I might actually try this...

 

[Geonerd]

PM with contact info send.  Lemme know when's a good time and I'd be most grateful to drive over and rescue some plants.
 
Guessing these guys are still quite small?
 
Thanks again.

Do some gorilla gardening all around your neighborhood or go to some community gardens that are around you.

"gorilla gardening" lol I like it. Don't think there are many gardens, nevermind community gardens, in Tucson but I'll check.
