Keystone Harvest! Keystone Zombie White Ghost & Keystone "Crimson" Reaper. Pro dried with viable se

N

NewYorkCity

Ok this years harves is ready. I only do very small scale growing, having a harvest of about 25-35 White Ghost Pepper and about 20-25 Crimson Reaper Peppers.

The White Ghost is second generation and is acclimated to the Pennsylvania climate. The Reaper is from a plant that I have kept alive for 3 years now and is also acclimated to the PA climate.

Both have very good flavor.

Now what I do at harvest is sterilize surfaces and use latex gloves to process the peppers.

My method for the Keystone Zombie White Ghost Is that I slice open the pepper and spread the seeds onto paper plates to air dry for well over a week.. This ensures maximum viability.

The peppers themselves I place in a Ronco food dehydrator to slowly dry to perfection.

The Keystone Zombie White Ghost is a smaller pepper with great flavor and bearable heat. I offer these in 10 dried pepper lots with 100 seeds, plus a bonus vial of mystery seeds from harvests past. The vial is filled with viable seed that should grow.

Printed instructions also come with the lot. Remember this is a very limited production as I may only have 30 peppers to sell....but it is a nice lot that should pay dividends in future production. SO THAT EQUALS MAYBE 3 lots I have to offer.

I ask $15 for the Kestone Zombie White Ghost lot with free shipping to anywhere in the lower 48 USA.


NOW FOR THE KEYSTONE CRIMSON REAPER MY METHOD IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT. I PROCESS THEM THE SAME BUT WITH ONE DIFFERENCE. I NUMBER AND TAG THE PEPPER AND MATCH THE SEEDS WITH THE PEPPER THEY CAME FROM.

SO FOR THE KEYSTONE CRIMSON REAPER YOU GET THE DRIED PEPPER AND THE AIR DRIED VIABLE SEED THAT COMES FROM THAT EXACT PEPPER, EACH ONE NUMBERED, TAGGED WITH CORRESPONDING BOTTLE.

I HAVE ONLY 20 KEYSTONE CRIMSON REAPER TO SELL. EACH ALSO COMES WITH A BONUS VIAL OF MYSTERY SEEDS.

I AM SELLING THESE IN LOTS OF 2. So TOTAL YOU WILL GET 2 numbered Keystone Crimson Reaper dried peppers, 2 numbered vials of matching seed and 1 vial of mystery seed.

$20 and free shipping

I have provided photos below showing samples of this years harvest and my processing methods. These peppers are good for years after being dried.

I'm not sure of the protocol on this site, but potential customers can contact me via private message option, if there is one here. Eventually I may use the marketplace until this very limited harvest is gone.

I didn't mean to do anything faux-pas. I don't grow that many peppers. i guess I would be will get to trade for some of the rarer species. I'm not an expert, but I will comb the site to try to find something I like.

I need an honest answer though.....are the peppers that I offer even all that desirable on here or am I just wasting my time?

I think mine were produced under unique conditions.... But I'm sure everybody thinks that.

Is anyone willing to trade. If someone provides a rare pepper list that I can browse I am open to trading some of what I have offered here.

Again I only have less than 60 peppers total...but they are dried and processed.

I'm not familiar with whatever Keystone means. But, this all seems kind of really expensive. Most people around here sell seeds for much, much less. Or they just trade, or give them away...

But good luck anyway.

Pennsylvania is officially known as the "Keystone State". Just as New York is officially known as the "Empire State".

Anyway these peppers were grown in PA under unique conditions this year. Record rainfalls and other weather phenomena surrounded the production of these. These were not grown in a field though so the rain had little to do with the production....but they do carry the , uh, aura of the unprecedented weather patterns for this year.
 
Doubt you will get any takers honestly. Its against the rules for people to be negative on a sales thread but anyone here can buy a fresh box full of the rarest peppers for $18 or less. You might get lucky on ebay or etsy with the catchy made up names though. Best of luck.

Honest opinion...your peppers just don't seem that special. No one here really knows you or your growing conditions, or why these peppers are any more special than the thousands varieties being grown by all of the people here right now. And by being totally unaware of this, you come off as a newbie who is trying to act more knowledgable than a bunch of experienced pepper growers.

We're all just hobbiests, man. If it were this easy to sell pepper seeds, we'd all be rich. Most people here that sell stuff, most likely do it to offset a small portion of the costs of funding their hobby.

And yeah, as D3monic has said, eBay or etsy would be a better fit for the 'boutique' con.
Anyway, sorry to burst your bubble, but I think you're barking up the wrong tree.

Good luck :)
 
OK. Thanks for the advice. I don't feel as though I have presented myself as more knowledgeable. So I don't see how you come to that conclusion. I specified and showed my method of processing. I wasn't arrogant.

As far as the names....well I see no problem adding regional specifics.

Thanks again for the input.

I will browse the site and buy some peppers and seeds when I find something that interest me.
