2015 Pepper Seed Giveaway!

Hi,
Yes, it's (past!) that time again! The pepper seed giveaway. I also have some vegetable seeds to give away that were donated by Dono. The way it works is that I need for you to PM me with which seeds you want and the name and address to send them to. I'll take care of the rest. Please indicate your top two preferences with a bottom two in case those are not available. Senior members with at least a year-ish of membership can request Carolina Reapers as a special thank you. ;)

Here' s the list:

Peppers
From Renee's Garden
Spanish Padron
Exclusive - Gourmet gardeners will love these hard-to-find, authentic little peppers, for easy, "pop in your mouth", delicious sizzling "Tapas" appetizers. The tapered fruits grow abundantly on early bearing, vigorous plants.

Thai Chile Duo
A combo of beautiful chiles for authentic Thai cooking. "Full Moon" ripens bright orange with medium hot-sweet pungency. Fiery "Red Vesuvius” has that nutty, incendiary flavor just right for the hottest dishes

From Pepper Joes
YATSUFUSA
"#1 top producing Capsicum Annuum that you'll find anywhere. Where are the leaves?? There aren't many, mostly chilies. The more you pick, the more replacement peppers "shoot for the sun" on the wonderful pepper. "

THAI SUN PEPPER

"Perfect pepper for apartments and small Gardens. The miniature plant only grows ten to twelve inches high and about one to one and a half feet wide. The one inch peppers grow facing the sun. One plant has literally hundreds of these fireballs. This little devil packs a big wallop. The leaves are tiny so the plant is almost all peppers. It is easily grown in containers put on a porch, patio or deck. Anyone, anywhere can enjoy plenty of hot peppers with the Thai sun pepper. They ripen early and produce all season long. Each pod has a few scarce seeds. "

Tomato seeds will be announced very soon. If you asked for pepper seeds feel free to ask for tomato seeds on top of the pepper seeds you requested! I'll try to get this done Saturday.

It's best to post instead of just lurking. Even a tiny bit of Input can be very helpful! Try checking out the welcome forum and introduce yourself, if you haven't yet.

My daughter stayed home sick today and helped me with the envelopes and labeling. Seeds mailing out Thursday. Sorry I couldn't get them out but a lot got in the way this past month.

If you want pepper seeds I still have quite a few, including some really nice heirloom tomato seeds that Gixx donated last year.

Private Message me the name and address you wish the seeds to be delivered to and I will get them in the mail. But Private Message me now! :)

I received mine today, also. Thank you very much! :D
I'm going to soak and start at least some of these and try giving them constant heat with light which seems to be the key to fastest germination. 8)
