Wow MikeM! Seeding Habaneros bare handed - I hope you didn't "water" the garden right after that. Thought you might like this video. Notice the amount of Habaneros that go into this dish. www.scienceontv.com/2009/02/10/man-vs-food-takes-on-super-spicy-fritters-in-portland/@mj: I use capsaicin creme regularly on some areas of chronic pain. A doctor said the pain overload short circuits the nerves, dissipating the pain. I have to wonder if that's at least part of the reason bee stings relieve pain on arthritic areas?.. That pepper leather recipe sounds good. |

Yup... bare-handed Hab seeding was... let's just say "a learning opportunity"  ;D ;D |

The flaming hands syndrome is referred to as "Hunan Hand" in chili head circles. The only thing I have seen that will give you relief, aside from time, is aloe vera. I once split and seeded for drying 2 Kg (4 1/2 lbs) of Habs. It's a mistake you only make once, like trying to put out the flame in your throat with a carbonated drink.

johno, count me in on the growout. I might even be able to get a late winter picking by growing out a few plants in a southfacing window. I have saved seed from the Chichimeca you sent me, so I'll see what comes of the F2. By the way, the flavor was excellent! Allowing the fruit to ripen to red, it was one of the best peppers I've ever tasted.

Great to see you around. It's been too many moons. The Lemon Drop peppers turned out. I only played out once this year. Still pickin' that thing? Took your advice and kept the beard growing longer.  john |

Hey strat!
Cool, my Lemon Drop was absolutely loaded with probably 2 or 3 hundred bright yellow peppers, mighty hot peppers.
I need to replace the bridge on my tele, I've had too many other things to spend money on lately.
Did I really tell you to grow out your beard more? Hmm, mine is pretty bushy right now. Kind of a Grizzly Adams or Baba Ram Das look. I've just been too lazy to trim it, haha. Besides, it's warm.
I'm sending out my feelers in anticipation of next season's pepper list, it's too early to even think about tomatoes. I've got a few peppers potted up to overwinter indoors...including the Lemon Drop, but it's not taking the transplant well.
It's good to know you're around, good hearing from you. Keep in touch, and I'll try to do the same.

I found the Chichimecas powerful warm, but the flavor was good. Of course, that's about the same report I have for all the Jalapenos this year. I don't know if it was just my tongue, or the weather, or what, but they all seemed extra hot, except for the Purple Jalapenos, which were a little milder. Not many of the Chichimecas turned red for me.

Those who have already spoken in this thread get first dibs - first come, first serve. But now's the time for anyone else who wants Jalapeno seeds to speak up. Quantities are limited, so please think about what you want to grow and develop. Let me know which kind you want and how many plants you intend to grow. If you want one kind, fine. If you intend to grow all of them, that's fine, too.
Remember, crossing was left to nature. You will either get pure seed or F1 hybrids with only the mother known for sure - the father being one of the others listed.

I am watching this project with great interest as we love jalapenos here.

There are more of some seeds and less of others. I guesstimate that there are at most 100 seeds from the Chichimeca mother. Maybe 200 each of the Jaloro and Early. I'm guessing 400+ each on the Numex Pinata, Pizza, Goliath, and Purple jalapenos.
If I haven't missed anybody, I have the following people on the grow out list so far:
bunkie
Fulenn
grunt and grungy
Jim
lavandula girl
MikeM
peppereater
and I'm unsure if Alan, Dan and ottowagardener want seeds. I already sent Alan some for commercial purposes, but (Alan) let me know if you want some of the other seeds, too. Grunt & Grungy, I'd love to see you grow them, but just let me know if you'd rather not.
Please everybody give me an indication of which ones you want to try and how many seeds you want. And like I said before, I encourage anybody else who wants to try them out to let me know!

Yes, I do. I just want to make sure people with higher priority go first  As for variety, then whatever is most plentiful. I have preference for Numex Pinata and purple jalapenos. I'll pm you. Thanks! |

I am still interested. If you are sending some to Jim, you can just include mine in there (as he is my brother and we live only 10 minutes apart). Whatever he requested, I will take a few seeds of any other variety. I have some Early seeds already, but if that is what you have the most of that's fine.
Thanks!
