Nice thread :yes:
How much the pepper seeds take to germinate in your experience?
I'm waiting some jalapenos to sprout from about a week.

Hey all, .. I grow my own chiles as well, .. This year is a bit of a bust, due to some lousy seed stock, but still gonna make a go at it..

Last year, I grew mustard habeneros, kung paos, cayenne, garanong, and yellow suns, .. This year, I started (or tried to): cayenne, yucatan white, red mushroom, garanong, yellow sun, new mexicos, and short reds, .. BUT, all that came up this year were the cayenne, garanong, and yellow sun..

Anyone know of a reputable source of hot pepper seeds? With the seeds I've gotten thus far, I've had probably < 50% sprout rate..

Ive got two Bhut Jalokia seedlings sprouted under the shop lights with my other babies! I will try to get some pics up soon. I will be transplanting them into 7 gallon containers, maybe larger. Grew them in the ground last year and they produced very well!!! I dont even eat them, just have fun growing them and the pleasure of watching people eat them and almost pass out!!!

Anybody know about Pedrino (?) peppers? They are definitely NOT hot but oh man tasty. End up green and at most half a finger long. Supposedly used in tapas bars in Spain? A friend served me up a batch of pan fried Pedrinos sauteed in some olive oil and salt. Every now and then a warm one. Only place I know I can get seeds is go to the Santa Cruz CA farmers market and get the peppers from the grower...but I'm like 250+ miles away.

Damn tasty!

Oh yea, man. You're talking about Padron peppers. They have the most delicious nutty flavor. Funny thing is, like you said, once in a while you get one that is fiery as hell. So it's fun to see who gets those hot ones while eating them. They're perfect with a bunch of icy beers....yum. I'd like to pickle some, too. Might be tasty.

When I was cooking in san diego, there was a local farm that had begun growing them, so we were lucky to be able to use them. Maybe you could try the farmer's markets around there, if that's any closer.

Yeah Padron's...thx and ordered some seeds today.

Named after the town where they originated. Harvest Padron peppers when they are 1-1 1/2" long. About 1 out of 20 fruits will be hot, and the rest mild. All the fruits become hot if allowed to grow 2-3" long. Padrons are served sautéed in olive oil with a little sea salt, and eaten as tapas (appetizer) in Spain.
