Hi all,
2011 will be my first attempt to grow peppers.
This is my first thread at attempting to offer seeds to share/trade. I am trying to build up a collection of items to grow, so I am hoping this thread will garner a little interest. I would like to do 10 trades to start with, of 10 seeds each. In the near future I may have more to offer, but not yet.
These are native Texas Chili Pequin seeds. My neighbor has been growing them for years, and shared some of these with me. The photo is of his bush. He cuts it back regularly, but in the photo it is about 4ft wide by 3.5 high. As we started to get cooler weather in TX, this bush has popped with literally hundreds of new peppers, and is still putting out flowers. The close up of the bush shows how prolific this is. I made some salsa with peppers over the weekend, and it had a nice heat and chili flavor. Fresh and bright is how I would describe the taste.
Please post if you would like a trade. I am hoping to offer some for free in the near future, but at the moment as I posted above, I am trying to build a little collection. As also mentioned, this is my first trade, so please be accepting of my learning curve.
Lastly, I need to keep this to US offers only.
Thank you.
Brian
PS... if you do not need or want these, but are willing to share some seed varieties with me for a SASE, please let me know via a PM.
Thank you again.

This was some of the plumper ones. Some grow this size, some smaller.
I think I will grow this as a low hedge next year.
You can see how prolific this bush is. Hundreds of new green peppers.
