I have a bucket full of bulbs I dug up from my EWO patch and I don't want to see them go to waste. These are not the tops but the semi-rooted underground bulbs. Some of them are already sprouting, some of them are getting ready to. They are cleaned and trimmed and ready to be placed in holes or furrows.

If you have hot pepper seeds of any kind (particularly ghost peppers) I'll take a trade. If not, not a biggy, just looking to pass these little babies out to anybody who wants them.

Postage terms: Postage + envelope = $2, or if you prefer send a 6X9 SASE with $1.20 postage.

There are 6 bulbs per brown lunch sack, what's in the sack is what you get. Six doesn't sound like much, but heck it's free and they WILL multiply so you'll ultimately end up with much more by the end of next season.

Message me, and let me know if you're interested!

Just a little update...........I still have plenty of bulbs for anyone who is interested. No trade is necessary, PM me with your zipcode and how many you want (I have sent up to 30 at a time with very little difference in postage from the original 6 I was offering.) :D

Just a quick FYI. It's freezing here in MI and we are under a bit of snow. Anybody who still would like some bulbs and is willing to wait until spring, feel free to send me your address and I will add you to my list!

This is my first day on this site. Not sure what I'm doing yet - how to post and such. But what a thoughtful and generous offer! If you still have some I would love to get in on it. I sent you a pm. Please reply with answer and how to instructions. Thank you so much. :)

Crazy weather!

We have had record breaking warmth up here and I will be digging up the bulbs at the beginning of this week (3-25.) Once I get a proper count on how many I have I will send notice via PM to those who expressed interest when I was unable to get to them under all the snow :shock:

They are sprouting gang busters so the sooner I get them adopted out the better!

Forgot to mention too..... First Class Postage for up to 30 bulbs runs $2.00. I will provide the envelope for shipping this season, just makes it easier on everyone if we don't have to deal with the SASE rigamaroll 8)

How are the seed I sent?

Also I found out that was garlic I sent you . If a clove is left in the ground or planted at the wrong time it just forms 1 single bulb that looks like a onion it never splits.

Going to get the seeds you sent in starter mix on my days off, need to pull and replant some ghost peppers and tepin from another swap that are ready for potting from a flat of starter too. I'm thinking I'm going to have a successful pepper season afterall!

I will PM you with a total count of bulbs, my mailing address, and prepaid postage options. When you get that message just PM me back with how many of them you would like.

Yes, I've had that happen to my garlic before. Like tiny pearl onions that smell like garlic! Those go nicely in spaghetti sauce :wink:

I have been filling requests for the EWO from members all the way back to January and my supply is getting very very low.

If I don't receive confirmation PMs from those I have sent them to in the past week, they will be dropped from the list and the next person moves up.

If you don't get bulbs this spring...........give me time.......I may have more in the fall again!
