Have been growing peppers since 2001, and had built-up a beautiful collection of multi-year pepper plants. Indeed, I hadn't had a chance to try-out the superhots yet, as I was having so much success with overwintering my peppers, that there was no place to grow-out the new plants!
Then disaster struck.
Last winter and earlier this year, I fought a massive, loosing battle with aphids, which devastated my plant collection, killing the vast majority of my pepper plants, including ultra-rare varieties, and even my 6 year old rocotos!
After many months of spraying the survivors, I FINALLY have the bugs on the run, and am now trying to recover from this nightmare.
I recently ordered some stuff from eBay & elsewhere, but my luck with such sources has been mixed at best (I received some $$$ "crushed" seeds in the mail just this week
), my best stock has always come from fellow growers! So if any of you has any extra seeds that are going to waste that can help me re-build from this disaster, I would be MOST grateful. I would be happy to trade, or send an SASBE, or postage, or $ - whatever you think is fair. I have been going through what seeds I still have around that I can use for trades, and have listed them below.
Things I am looking for include the following -
Any excess/left-over seeds you can spare would also be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

- Peach Hab
- Lemon/Bright-Yellow Hab
- White Hab (Bullet, Giant)
- Limo, Yellow one (like CCN)
- Pimenta da Neyde
- Yellow Cayenne
- Purple Cayenne
- Greenleaf Tabasco
- Filius Blue
- Aurora
- Brainstrain
- Bhut Jolokia (Red/Yellow/Purple/Chocolate)
- Other Superhots (will be my first year trying these!
) - Other colorful chinense (except Red Savina - one of the few survivors)
- Rocotos & other c. pubs (especially those that grow well either indoors, or in hot climates!)
- Anything that is colorful, edible, and HOT!!!
- Jamaican Hot Yellow (one of my favorites!)
- Lemon Drop (pretty, prolific, hot, tasty!)
- Zimbabwe Bird Pepper (compact plant, prolific, HOT!)
- Peter Pepper Orange
- Aji Amarillo
- Eyeball / Toothache plant (not a pepper, but very unusual/prolific, flowers look like eyeballs, kinda creepy - looks like the plant is staring at you! Leaves and especially the flowers are also a strong local anesthetic, numbs your mouth and lips, hence it's ancient medicinal use as a toothache remedy. Can numb your mouth so much that a grown adult can start drooling uncontrollably if they take too much! LOL
