Re: Helpful Gardener Forum Pepper Seed Giveaway!

Oh I'd love to try Thai Sun so I can put some on the patio in pots. Well ok only 1 or 2 but I'll give the rest to my family and friends :)

Hi! I could really use some help growing peppers! I have tried buying plants and also putting seeds into the garden and no luck! I believe I'm in growing area 5. I did get a green house last May and this will be my 1st real season with it and need some advice!

Have they gone out? It said soon on 2/23 which is about two weeks ago. I have not recv'd tomato or pepper seeds. It is getting late for starting peppers.

My pepper seeds arrived in the mail yesterday and are now in their containers getting ready to germinate. We have a good long season down here in Texas and I'm looking forward to it!

I received the seeds. Thank you very much! It was so nice to receive them written with pen and with a smiley on one of them. Here, have one too. :) Thank you.

You're welcome! My nine year old addressed the envelopes and I hand labeled the seed packets. Thanks for the smile! :)

Keep us updated on the progress of the peppers!

I received my seeds this week, also. Thanks so much! I think I'll have to wait until next year as my house is still too cold and I don't have a warming mat - that'll be on my Christmas list for Santa this year. ;)

Wow, that's crazy that they got crushed. I wrapped the coin envelopes in tissue to protect them. Maybe double-up next time! ;)

I have been pretty lucky never having had so many crushed till now, but yeah they were in pretty sad shape
guess it happens .
the thai sun were fine, but they were smaller than the other seeds and seemed less brittle than the two super hots for whatever reason.
again, not trying to gripe. a bit sad perhaps that the mail crushed it, but not your fault.
I just finally got a seed warming mat, so the remainder are putting that mat to the test =) O:)

MB3 remember that HOT peppers can take 2-4 weeks some time to germ. Be patient

yeah, I know

2 of the Reaper seeds already germinated last week =) (I recently finally got a seed warming mat!)
I think the other seeds were too far gone, but perhaps there will be a few more to germinate.
no sign of the Scorpion, they may not have had any seeds that survived the mail (they all looked really bad), but my I will hold on to hope :)
still waiting on the Thai Sun to germinate, also. they mostly looked fine from mail, so I hope think a few should be viable

I can't seem to edit the post above, so will update with a new msg
I have 3 of the Reapers and 1 Thai Sun going. Going to have some HEAT this year if these all mature and fruit! Time to brush up on making hot sauces =)

Funny I got these so quickly! Quicker than seeds from SA!

Thanks so much! I am going to start some now and grow them in some terracotta pots :) I can't wait!
