Hussli pepper seeds available - 3 types

mattbaird · March 13, 2012

My father in law is good friends with Larry Hussli and Larry was kind enough to send me pepper seeds this season.

For info on these peppers:
http://www.tomatoville.com/showthread.php?t=8030

There are 3 types:
Beaver Dam - i think these are the ones everyone knows and writes about
Tomato - These are a tomato shaped pepper

Hybrid - a mix of the two above, and a new type according to Larry.

I grew the Beaver Dam last growing season and it did very well. I have no experience with the other two.

I live in Belmont, California and if you are near by and want to drop by and pick up a few seeds, please feel free to send me a message. I have about 50 each of the beaver dam and tomato types and probably closer to 100 of the hybrids. First come, first served!

cheers,
Matthew

A little too far for me to drive, but if it's alright, I'd love to send you a SASE for some of the tomato & beaver dam peppers.

I could send you my seed list as well, if you'd like to do a trade, though I don't have the greatest selection.

I'd drop by if I could, but you're a continent away. I planted Beaver Dam seeds I got from a swap and have 0% germination after three weeks.

Don't give up on those Beaver Dam seeds just yet. It's been 3 weeks for me, too, and they're just showing their heads now.

I got the impression (which I hope is incorrect) from a seed catalog that Larry Hussli passed on this year. I sure hope I misunderstood, but can anyone confirm?

Both Beaver Dam and Tomato are indeed wonderful peppers!

Larry was still alive and kicking back in Sept, but I know that Father Edward Hussli passed away fairly recently.

Thank you! Seed Savers catalog made reference to one of the Hussli's passing on and handing the seed off to someone else prior to their death. Since Larry was the only one (that I was aware of) who dealt with the seed, I feared the worst. Did not know that Edward had involvement too.

The tomato pepper is a wonderful pepper! My fav! Early, sweet and spicy. I've yet to come across a similar pepper. My garden wouldn't be complete without it. Save some seeds, it's hard to find!

Hi Everyone,

I've been busy at work. Seems like the SASE is the way to go. I will be responding individually with my address. I would love other exotic/interesting seeds in return, but not expected.

cheers!
