thanks for posting. I am looking forward to seeing what you get out of the serrano x maui purple cross. I will start a flat of 50 looking for purple seedlings around march 1 here.

Seed germ updates:

rasta frutegum
C.tovarii
Cap 1487
Aji Jobito
Aji rosita red
Aji Margarentino
Ulupica XL
Rocopica x Rocoto Lima Market # 1 - pretty excited about this one considering there was only 1 seed in the pod.

Still waiting on the following:

Aji rosita yellow
Aji pepon
Aji Llaneron
C.parvifolium
Cap 1491
Tepin Tikal Nat. park of Guatemala

here's some mussels I harvested about a 5 min walk from my house the other day, good eats :cheers:

Thanks, I started the seed last July but this plant has never been outdoors. I hacked it down to just a bare stump in fall and has sat on the windowsill. I just recently gave it good light and heat to start putting on some nice new growth. Should be a monster outdoor plant this year. How are your lindberg seeds doing? I think a few of the varieties are not going to germ unfortunately.

When you are ready to quit on them, rough up their surface, put them in a bag with some water and a tiny bit of aspirin, and pull light vac on them momentarily ...

It's worked before ...

Ever recovered data from a harddrive by sticking it in a ziploc, in a ziploc of crushed ice ...

There's no good reason, but both have been known to work from time to time ...

3 germinated for me and 3 did not.

Bummer, guessing the same three for me. Oh well 3/6 is better then nothing. Thanks again for the seed. Cheers

I haven't seen anyone that has successfully germinated these seeds. I'm beginning to think that these three are all bad seeds.

Very impressive list! Nice to see what can be done up here in the great white not quite Canada. We might even get an early start to the season!

D3monic · Feb 19, 2016

I know i posted this in my grow but I figured i'd share these over here too.

I culled everything pretty heavy. I kept two of the hot rod serrano x maui purple and one of the 7pot orange x cbb7

Here's the two HRS X MP I did keep. There was nothing wrong with the others, they was all pretty equal in appearance.

Here's a nice slab from Sunday, very good eating and lot's of fun on my ultra light jig pole.

started the following seeds yesterday:

BBG7 Long Red early calyx
BBG7 Chocolate bumpy early calyx
BBG7 Yellow
BBG7 Purple/Red spotted
BBG7 Orange
BBG7 Caramel
BBG7 White

Aji Jobito x BBG7

FBx # 1
FBx # 2
FBx # 3
FBx # 4
FBx # 5
FBx # 6
FBx # 7
FBx # 8
FBx # 9

I took down my seed list from the first page because of a lot of seed requests which I don't mind sharing seed but it's like 8 months away before I will have any..lol But I will keep updating my glog here with seeds sown and what germinates for me.

Couple quick pics, here's my Rocopica x Rocoto Lima Market # 1

not the best pic but thought this was cool. Out of 6 Rasta FruteGum seeds sown I ended up with 5 plants. 3 of them started with purple cotyledons and 2 with green. One of the purple ones stuck out it's first true leaf and nothing else. I was going to scrap it but waited and waited and finally it's shooting out some side shoots :party:

Very nice Rocopica x Rocoto,looking more like Rocoto
