seed-plant-vendors Jimmy Pickles and the bad seeds ๐Ÿฅ’

I'm the one in the Instagram links in the 1st post. He got the seeds out quickly, maybe 10 days after 1 reminder. When I questioned they were growing like annuums he blocked me straight away. Then put a post out trying to discredit me. When I replied with screeenshots of our conversation, he quickly removed the post.

Taking no responsibility for his work and then blaming others for his own mistakes, hocus-pocusing some bogus crap to sow confusion and doubt in others, and casting himself as the real victim. He should become a politician. I hope the mystery annuum will produce a decent yield of tasty peppers for you, but I wouldn't expect much from JP anymore. This type of personalities are difficult to reason with.
 
Time for a small update of my test:

Few seeds of 7 variants germinated. I received 12 variants from Jimmy Pickles.

Here some images of the variants, which don't want to germinate, but get mouldy.

As I mentioned in the posts before, my purpose is only to check if Jimmy Pickles has fooled me again or not. To be honest I am not interested anymore in variants from him. As soon as I see that these plants are no Chinenses I will stop the grow.

Here my last conversation with him at the beginning of June. He sent a reaction to my message that I am going to share everything.

Okay drama queen shit aside
Why did you order from this shyster to start with?
Fuck man just ask around and you'll receive great advice.
A fkn stupid decision Hella stupid because I've got all my seeds from actual trustworthy sellers
My fault I was trying to get more varieties while saving a few $
But this post just to inform and records. So people know and don't do the same shit I did
Apparently he needs the money so he can keep it .

I indeed asked around after all this bs happened.
Again stupid decision bad choices
 
To be honest that is even too much effort for this nonsense

I like it that you take the effort to do so, and show the facts publically. I hope Google will help unaware pepper growers that search for information about JP to arrive at this thread - reading all the posts today, I think the title has been very well chosen.

I just googled for "Jimmy Pickles seeds", and I'm given nothing but praising propaganda on the first page of hit results. Searching for "Jimmy Pickles problems" or "bad seeds", however, paints a very different story (lots of recent issues).
