This year, if all goes well, I will be trying seasoning peppers for the first time. I have seeds starting, I hope, for Tobago Seasoning Pepper and Aji Dulce #2 and plants up for Trinidad Seasoning peppers. Anyone have any experience with these?

I have never heard of these peppers but if they can be dried maybe you can save some seeds for me to try. Their names sound interesting.

My understanding is that these are similar to their habanero cousins, have the flavor and some of the aroma in terms of everything except the heat. Yet, they are not sweet peppers, just chinense without the capsacin.
I do intend to save seed, and since I am expecting an abundant crop, I should have more than a few to share. Just remind me.

This is the third year in a row that I've been trying to germinate Trinidad Seasoning peppers with 0% success. If anybody has some seeds of these that they have had good luck with, I'd be very interested. I've been presoaking them with seaweed extract and all that jazz...

Is there a common source for these, which is perhaps the problem with germination??
Or some other factor do you think ??

Unfortunately, I have shipped off all but a few of the seeds I had, otherwise, I would have gladly shared. I got my seeds from TGS and had no issues, they popped up after 6 days. Nothing special, just seedling mix, in cells, on a heating pad, soil around 80 degrees and plastic wrap over the top until green shows. I consider this normal procedure.
I do not know about a common source issue, they are not dead common though, so you may be on to something there. I know one source is Reimers, which many dislike. Although, here again, I got my Tobago and Aji Dulce seeds from them and they are up in 7 days and going strong.
