Oh wow, that sounds like a good variety of peppers. I have grown Tabascos on and off for years now...they are one of the best most productive peppers ever. I once had a couple that I had for a few years and they got about 5 feet tall.... then one winter they froze. :/ I have a few that I overwintered and they are about 2- 3 feet now and covered with peppers. lol... I need to go pick them so they can make another wave or two before winter. :) :onfire:

My garden Update
 
Wow that's a really cool collection of seeds.... I especially like the 'habanero mix'. I didn't know there were yellow ones.... they don't have 'the international collection' down here..lol.... I have the orange ones and a red habanero type...they were really huge.
 
Yeah my brother sent me this care package to get me started out. I just planted the seeds today. I'll have pictures up in a bit.

Heres what i did today.

Far left: Mint Middle: Gold Cayennes Far Right: Thai Peppers.

What should i do about my Gold Cayennes Black leaves?

There leaves are black bc they were in the back of the truck and the wind kinda beat them up /:

And the other day a branch on my mothers basil plant was broken after a storm so i brought it inside and put it in a cup of water trying to keep it green till we used it and suddenly when i checked it today it was like this! \/

Wow, you have the neatest varieties. Maybe I should crawl out of my cave more often but never heard of a gold cayenne... sounds interesting. My friend brought me a purple cayenne, the leaves are purple like, not sure what the fruit is supposed to look like, I guess we'll find out soon enough. Was the plant exposed to frost? (I know it's a silly question but if it's cold out sometimes this can happen even if they are inside and the leaves touch the window or something).... they look really strange, never seen anything QUITE like this. The basil, I would have said put it in water that might help, but it seems you have already done that. lol... and it has a root.... rooting in water, the water needs to be changed daily or at most every other day- if it's cloudy, change it. I learned this the hard way, it goes sour and bad really quick. It could be that if the water was cloudy, buildup of bacteria. I just like to root things (even pepper cuttings) in the soil they are going to start off in, it's so much easier, just have to keep it moist. :) Hope this helps. :D

The gold cayenne was just in the truck bed when we drove home from the store and i guess the wind beat it up pretty bad but its looking alot better and i hope itll make a full recovery which it will haha But thanks for the tips i deff will use them! :dance:
 
you would be suprised how much damage a pepper plant can take. i was transplanting one and the main stock split in half. i figured it was going to die for sure so i broke the rest of the upper plant the remining way off. the plant lived and grew a lot more leafes its just short. just keep watering it and it will hang in there. you dont have very many supper hot seeds from the looks of it.
