Nice looking selection. I've grown some of them, let me know if Fatali takes a really long time to fruit. Maybe it was just the selection I grew. I had it two years before I got fruit - called it four leaf fatali the first year. It just sulked. Maybe it wasn't warm enough, don't know. Anyhow, it has been kept alive as a house plant during the winter for many years now and like other habaneros seems okay with low light levels part of the year.
Do you pre-sprout or using bottom heat? I always but then I'm impatient.

Dan,
Nice looking list of peppers. I see you are growing "Aci Sivri Chile", which looks like and the describition is similiar to two peppers I am growing this year, "Corbaci(Sari Sivri)" and "Pasa Tohumculuk(Biber kil aci)", both of which are from Turkey as well. They make great salad peppers and the plant produces more peppers than any plant I have seen.
Here is what I planted last night before bed. I put them on top of the refrigator to germinate, my new frige is not as warm as old one though. So I may need to use a heating pad.
Aconcagua(Giant) Alma Paprika Ancho 101(Poblano) California Wonder Corbaci(Sari Sivri) Cubanelle Fatalii Feher Ozon Paprika Fresno Chili Giant Szegedi Golden Greek Habanero Jalapeno Early Kasier Piquin Hot Lemon Drop(Capsicum baccatum) Manzano - Red Manzano - Yellow Marconi Rosso Nocera Giallo Nocera Rosso Pasa Tohumculuk(Biber kil aci) Red Lamuyo Serrano Tolli's Italian Sweet

Here is my full pepper listed that I started: Aci Sivri Chile Aji Crystal Ancho San Martin Astle County Purito Pepper ?? Aurora Balloon Pepper Banana Bill Hybrid Bhut Jolokia Black Hungarian Buran Candlelight Pepper Cherry Pick Hybrid Chimayo Chile Chinese Ornamental Early Jalapeno Fatalli Fish Pepper Goliath Guajillo Hidalgo Chile Hot Peter Pepper Jaloro Jimmy Nardello La Cruces Large Banana Lation Cayene Lemon Drop Marconi Melrose Numex Pinata NuMex Sunrise NuMex Sweet Pinnochio Pizza Pepper Purple Jalapeno Red Cap Mushroom Sahuaro Hybrid (Biggie Chilli) Serrano Chili Sweet Banana Sweet Pepper Blend Tequila F1 Hybrid Tequila Sunrise Thai Orange Thai Yellow Wenk's Yellow Hots White Habanero Yummy I am using a DIY Bottom Heater system from here: www.gardengrapevine.com/BottomHeater.htmlI am using promix for a little bit of bottom spacing, and then started most seeds using Jiffy pellets. I'll transfer them once they are 3" tall or so to individual pots to wait for transplant outside. I'll get some pictures up tonight!

We will be starting peppers and tomatoes here soon. Really excited about all the new to me ones. Gonna be interesting. Since I am a heart patient I am looking to some for grinding for seasoning. Gotta watch my sodium so I figure peppers among other things will be a great alternative to the salt laden seasonings that the stores carry. Great opportunity to get creative with these and herbs and the maters. Sure to come up with some good healthy seasonings.

So far the only one I am not seeing germination from the seeds is the Guajillo Pepper. Any quick tricks to get some sprouts from older seeds? These are circa 2006. I will work on getting pictures tonight. It's my wedding anniversary but I am sure the wife won't mind I am a fan of hot food. I haven't eaten the hottest of the hot, nor have I or do I plan on trying to cook with the Bhut Jolokia, but I will definitely be experimenting more with the hot peppers I am growing this year.

Try soaking them in hot water for a few hours before sowing? Another HG member suggested I do this with some old tomato seeds and it worked well.

You can also soak in a dilute tea solution. I've done that before and had good results, but none of the seed was that old either.
I normally see about 85% germination with heirloom pepper seeds and close to 100% with most hybrid peppers.

Oh, and I also use 85F bottom heat supplied by grower's mats.

LOL! Well, out of the 4 seeds I got on trade I was only able to get 2 started. I'm not sure if I plan on trying to pepper (I am sure I will), mostly in it for the seed trade
