planted a few hot pepper seeds
normally, i don't start peppers until mid march, but these were in a box of seeds
someone in the homeschooling community gave to me a couple years ago when they gave up gardening on a big scale. the pepper seeds are from 2013, so i think they are near the end of their shelf life. i mighta read that hot peppers are viable longer, but am not for sure on that. soooooo, i am starting them now. planted are black hungarian fish grandpa's home india jwala or indian finger long purple cayenne santa fe grande i have never grown any of these peppers before. i like a fair amount of heat, but am no means a pepper head or whatever you call those folks that seek the hottest pepper in existence to eat. those people are nuts. no offense i double sowed, and placed the seeds underneath our wood stove where it is nice, and warm most of the time. we'll see what comes up. i have a few others to try in the event some fail to come up. keith

The hots here in the glades.
Found out the best way to start.These are from Numex,and from the chili factory in Australia.do not want to advertise.The superhots need 80 plus for germination,hence the cling wrap.I soak in chamomile tea,otherwise might take a while.

one indian finger, and one black hungarian are up. still some life in
the old seeds. it may take awhile before all is said and done. now, the seeds are on the window sill during the day (cooler there), and underneath the wood stove at night. keith
