Yes. 
Did I mention how we have a short growing season? They needed to be started in February to have a chance for this season. Next year I can plant seeds. If the plants hadnāt been so darn expensive and I needed to buy a 6 pack I would have gone that route. If Tom doesnāt want to send me a few seeds heās under no obligation to.
Plan on making a nice small nursery
Or better, wanted to use the elevator since we donāt use it except for heavy stuff and it is a nice 1*1*2,50 box in the center of house with its shoot and thick metal door and power available for the aquarium pump and heating and grow light
My wife wonāt have it so we plan on making a relatively south facing part of the old side shed a small greenhouse.
About 5 meter long, 1,8m deep in a lot of sun when the trees have shed leaves.
For the citrus plants in winter and for me to make the nursery there
That roof needs work, beams need replacing so why not make it all glass the October job 
But I agree seeds are too late now and it is cool to have seed from friends
But is this pepper not a hybrid F plant? Then seed might not work right.
I donāt know. The hybrid thought did go through my mind. I know nothing about them. If it is a hybrid then the seeds will be useless.
Iād like to put in raised beds that I can cover with a cloche (sp?) thatāll give me an additional month or so of growing season.
screw the girl, Iām itchy for the light, Can I order the light please ?
But, seeds arenāt āuselessā, obviously, because places sell the seeds, including the website linked above. So, you should still be good.
David you are right chances are something useful will grow but buying the hybrid seeds ensures you get what you want and not a yellow sweet paprika or something in this case. Tom what else is growing in the same family?
Heheh
I got seeds direct from Pucker Butt Pepper Company, all this talk made me remember the packet clipped to my calendar so I planted them yesterday along with some Bolivian Rainbow Peppers. The seed packet had 8 seeds in it! So generous! We have a Very Long growing season, so I should have a lot of peppers if all goes well. Iāll get the plants started then move em outside in full sun so they can absorb a couple of months of 100Āŗ Texas sunshine. Yāll remind me later and Iāll send some peppersā¦ these are a cultivar of the Habanero and should yield way more peppers than I can use, for sure!
Donāt worry, thatās common when Iām having fun.
I might have an overdeveloped appreciation for the surreal.
TL;DR: Only a few little details remain before the Q8 should be ready to ship.
ā¦ and speaking of āsurrealā and āshipā:
Are you familiar with the fanfic meaning of the word āshipā?
Itās short for ārelationshipā, a romantic pairing of characters who are not involved in that manner in the original work. Normally used as a verb, as in āI ship Draco/Hermioneā to imply that one wants or may even be writing a fanfic about a relationship between two Harry Potter characters. The slash often refers to āslash ficā, defined as āA work of fiction (especially fanfiction) based on celebrities or fictional characters involved in a romantic and/or sexual relationship, especially where the sexual orientation of a (usually straight) canonical character has been changed.ā
In this context, one millihelen would be the amount of beauty required to launch one āshipā, as in one romantic fanfiction.
In a BLF context, one millihelen is the amount of energy required to launch one romantic BLF fanfiction āshipā, such as āI ship Tom E / BrianK, a couple of pepper penpal buddies whose relationship developed over time into something a little spicier.ā Or perhaps a āshipā involving JasonWW and parallel-universe-JasonWW, whose mutual love for longer, harder, um, springs, motivates them to explore the bleeding edge of increasingly greater compression ranges in order to fight the evils of sagging over time from old age. Of course, none of this would be an issue if people would just use protection.
ā¦ Wow, thatās one sad forum. It appears that the entire thing exists for advertising purposes ā an English-language forum targeted at aspiring sailors in India, using the allure of answers and education to sell some guyās e-books. The linked sub-forum is almost entirely SEO spam from third parties.
It really reminds me of how good we have it here. I <3 BLF.
I think TK just wrote the top post in this thread, quite the feat nearing 8K
Thats not nice, its called make sweet love to her, and then abandon her.
David, seeds from hybrid plants donāt breed true. Iām not positive, but I think they revert back to the parents which in this case would be ghost peppers and habaneros. Not exactly junk, but not whatās desired. A fresh habanero has a wonderful fruity flavor for those who can tolerate the heat. I love to slice them paper thin and put them on a subā sandwich, but the wife gets tired of the overpowering flavor (I donāt mean the heat). I donāt think Iāve ever tasted a more flavorful pepper. There I go, salivating at the thought.
Dale, if theyāre anything like the parent habanero they can be frozen whole and theyāll last for a very long time. Just wash and leave the stems on, the skin protects the flesh from freezer burn. Or make hot sauce. A lot of stuff can be added to it, but I just use vinegar and salt, peppers too of course. And hot oil, canāt forget hot oil that keeps a long time in the refrigerator and itās the best way to make spicy hot fried chicken and get it hot enough.
Hey now, play nice.
Donāt make me write slash fiction about you two.
ā¦ āDigital sparks flew as the two men bounced misogynistic boasts back and forth with a titillating air of excitement, for they each recognized the coded communication for what it was ā covert mating calls for like-minded men.ā ā¦
Darn Lazy-R-usā¦ I had forgot all about the āSend Teacher To China Campaignā ā¦. :person_facepalming:
It may be time to renew my efforts along those lines. There might be a bit of extra incentiveā¦ā¦ā¦.
Dale, I read somewhere that pepper plants will live year round if kept from too cold temperatures. Also, if theyāre kept above 80F, they keep producing peppers year round! They can make great house plants. Oh, one more thing. If you want them REALLY hot, water them just enough to keep them alive. If they get too much water, the peppers arenāt hot at all.
If I had them then they would think they were living in a swampā¦ā¦
The well pump would be working overtimeā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
Ha I think you are right David, I placed a pot indoors during the winter in the hopes of letting a pepino survive (it didnāt)
A large pot and last summer we had a bunch of paprika and pepper plants growing in it, I had cut the when I harvested the last peppers. From one of the stems now a new plant is growing.
Cool ti about not watering too much!
Brian, Davidā¦ Carolina Reaper isnāt a hybrid itās a Cultivar. In order to make the Guiness Book of World Records the plant had to be able to reproduce and sustain the level of heat in question.
Edit: Worthy to note, perhaps, and of special interest to us hereā¦ This month one Mike Smith with Nottingham Trent University claims to have bested the Carolina Reaper with what he calls āDragonās Breathā. He is currently having Guiness Book of World records try to establish itās 2.4 million Scoville units as the new record.
I love hot peppers, but never had a Carolina Reaper. Iāve had ghost peppers, which I love. They actually had a delicious flavor. I suppose all of these vary in heat a bit, even within the same strain.
Yes, as noted above, growing conditions can affect the heat intensity. Also, there can be some natural variation from plant to plant, Iām sure. Carolina reapers do taste a bit different. They inherit a bit of the characteristic Habanero flavor, which some people love and others hate.
Yeah, my wife was telling me just a couple hours ago that there was a new āhottestā pepper out there named āDragonās Breathā. Sheās not interested in spicy foods herself, but she knows I like it.
