Today is the last day of February and the seed giveaway has officially ended.
So.. no more seed request will be answered, so please don't ask it puts me in an awkward position.
I would like to THANK everyone who has made any kind of donations... THANK YOU... Your kindness and unselfish generosity made this all possible:)
Just shy of 1000 packs of pepper seed were sent out.
With a lot of new varieties, I hope that everyone has the best grow season ever!!!
PS, save your seeds maybe there will be a bigger seed giveaway next year...

    Seems like this is working out pretty good. From the looks of it, there will be some pretty nice pepper gardens out there. Mine included. I am just thrilled to have been part of this.

    Makes one all warm and fuzzy knowing the "seed gougers" are taking a good hit with honorable movements such as this.
    Stop paying $6,$8,$10 for a dozen or less seeds from questionable strains and risky germ rates.

    I want the pods for eating,ya'll can have all the seeds!!

    Just for anyone's consideration... the padding I used to ship the seeds is called: "Laminate foam underlayment" it can be bought at most hardware stores and it used for under padding of laminate flooring.
    So far it works very well and I have not had one complaint of crushed seeds. (Knock on wood..)

    How many seeds do you want in the packs?

    I have PLENTY of FISH pepper harvested from 2 beautiful plants in 2013. Would be glad to share some f my FAVORITE peppers. Beautiful variegated foliage, 1 - 2" long, l candy striped peppers when green that turn solid fire engine red. PRODUCTIVE! Hot, excellent with seafood, pickled, in hot sauces and salsa - great green and red. Ornamental enough to be on the deck.

    I received my letter today Eric. Such an amazing assortment. I cant wait to get a tray started in the morning, after I choose what types to try this year. Thank you so much!

    PS. You can disregard the Sase I sent, just dont forget to get the postage out.

    Thanks again,
    John

    You did an amazing thing here and have helped turn a lot of mediocre gardens into full blown pepper plantations. 1000 packs of seeds is huge. The amount of time and effort you put into this must have been quite significant. I hope you had some time to start some of your seeds. Thank you so much for doing this. Hopefully we will see the harvests from some of those seeds posted here, thanks to your efforts.

  • ronnyb123

    Awesome job Eric,

    It seems incredible all the work that it took to send out that amount of seeds. Thats alot of packs, and can you imagine how nice peoples gardens will be this year, thanks to you. I hope you got a chance to add a ton of new varities to your collection and get those growing.

    Thank you so much for all that you did for us.
