Here are some pics of the plants I have started a few months ago.  I started them a bit too early, but they seem to be looking good.  Most are C. Annuums (bird types) and C. Chinense varieties. Enjoy.

The top one is 7 pod.  Next is Sonoran Chiltepin Orange.  Then Brown Rocoto....then just a mass of peppers.

I am looking to trade for the following C. Pubescens varieties:

- CAP 357
- PI 355811
- PI 585266
- PI 593618
- PI 593619
- PI 593624

If anyone has these, please let me know.  I'm happy to work out some type of trade.  Thanks!

A few interesting varieties I have grown this season.

Pretty pods and translucent.

I figured I'd jump on the bandwagon.  Here is a link to my photo album with some pics I took of my garden a bit over a week ago.  Things have picked up quite a bit since then.  I try to take pictures maybe once every 2-3 weeks. Enjoy.

I've been wanting to grow this one for a long time.  I sourced a few seeds a while back, but got 0% germination.  It surprises me because I'm pretty successful germinating most varieties of hot pepper seeds, whether domesticated or wild.   This one, along with CGN 19198 eluded me.

If anyone has extra seeds of either, I'd love to trade for something.  It is too late this season for me, but can you keep me in mind come Fall?  Thanks much.

Chris

I'm sure there is a forum dedicated for seed requests, but I don't think it's in English so I'm posting here.

I'm seeking Chili Goronong (red and yellow) C. Chinese seeds.  The pepper is native to Malaysia.  It is not available in the U.S.  The only commercial supplier I believe that has it is Pepper King.

If anyone has some and would like to trade, please let me know. Thanks a lot!

Chris

I figured I would share my photo gallery with everyone.  Hope you enjoy.

Hi.  I just want to take a moment and introduce myself. My name is Chris. This will be my second year growing hot peppers, but I have had a garden for nearly 10 years now.  I really enjoy doing this and have taken a big interest in peppers.  

I grew about 60 varieties of hot peppers last season and anticipate over 100 this year.  Can you say addiction?  lol.   John F. actually kindly sent me some seeds early in 2005 and I got the bug.  It's been a lot of fun so far.

I am very interested in trying wild capsicums this year.  I have not seen many sites / people particularly focused on this topic, but this site seems very detailed and informative.  I hope to learn more here.  Finding seeds for some of the rarer varieties is also a challenge.  I have sowed seeds for C. Prat, C. Chacoense, and Tepin.  

I'm interested in learning more and possibly finding new trading partners for rare varieties.  I hope to see more of this site translated to English too.  Wealth of information!!  

Take care everyone.

Chris
