planted a few hot pepper seeds

rxkeith · February 10, 2021

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.
