If you requested seed and sent me an email but didn't get back a reply yet, then contact me again via this thread.
Bruce

I sent you an email, but didn't get a reply back. I'll try to send you another one.

Thanks!

Dan

Seems a lot of people are not getting my replies to their emails through GW. Garden Web must be blocking direct replies from emails sent through their system. So, in the future, just email me at the address below direct from your email program instead of through GW. I will then reply with the address to send the SASE. Sorry for the confusion.

Bruce

Hi Bruce,
I didn't see a reply so I just forwarded my email directly to the address above.
Thanks,
Laura

Reply sent Laura. Thanks,

Thank you so much for your offer. I am a new gardener and any seeds to add to my box would be wonderful.
I will send you an email in just a moment.

Missy

OK, everyone on this list should have gotten a reply with my address for the sase: If not, email direct at the email address posted a few posts above.

Seed giveaway is going good. Thanks for emailing me direct and not using the GW email system. It was causing problems. Things seem to be working better now. The following people have requested seeds and I have tried to email them back my mailing address for the sase, if you haven't gotten my address back, make sure you email me straight from your email program and not through garden web. I think t-bones has used the GW system and may not get a reply from me.

Hi,
I'd love to send the SASE for some of your most decorative pepper seeds - Twilight especially!
Will send followup email.
Thanks for sharing!
LU

I didn't receive a reply, so re-sent to new address posted above. Thanks

I'd like the NuMex Twilight and Black Cuban if the offer is still open. Thanks for sharing these awesome decorative peppers. I'll get an email out to you, also.

OK, here is the updated list of those who have emailed requesting seeds. If you have not yet received a reply with my mailing address for sending the SASE, then there may be a problem. Be sure to email me direct to my email address as posted above and don't use the GW system, email me direct from your regular email program.

Oh, and I will have to end the offer at this point. i will have enough seeds to fill all these requests. If some of the requests fall through, I will re-open the offer.

Just an update. All on this list have expressed interest in my seed offer. I have "attempted" to email back everyone on the list with my address for sending the SASE. If you are on the list but haven't gotten the address, then email me again at the email address posted above. If you expressed interest already but are not on the list, please email at the email provided in the above posts. I have sent out two of the seed shipments already and those are anotated with the date sent. Thank you for all the interest and good luck this year with your growing efforts. And, I have stopped the offer to this point but if any of the previous requests fall through or I find I have more seeds to spare, I will open it back up at that time. I ask that all who have my address, please send the SASE out very soon. I will be expecting to receive them by early next week.

I just wanted to let everyone know that none of the seed I am sending out was isolated and there for you may possibly get a cross. This is how most people grow peppers as crosses are not common even if not isolated. However, they are possible and I want everyone to know that. In particular, the Black Cuban that I am sending out has a better chance of being a cross. I grew out three plants with seed that I knew were possible if not likely crosses, and two grew true to the Black Cuban but one did not grow true. So it was likely crossed seed. That being said, they were all three great plants. And I recently sent out a bunch of Black Cuban seed from one of the plants I that did grow true. It was true to Black Cuban but if it came from seed that had been crossed, it still could have been a cross and grown true. But from what I understand, any offspring from that plant could also exhibit mixed traits still. So that being said, for those I sent Black Cuban and have yet to send, keep in mind there is a better than small chance it is a cross. I did not isolate any seed last year and any seed I sent out and will send out could be a cross. My packs of seed are clearly marked "OP" or "Isolated" depending on how they are grown. Even the pretty Twilight was open pollinated. This is how most of seed you get in trades and for free will be and the vast majority of the time, it will grow true. I hope I haven't confused anyone because all this cross pollination, F1, F2, Hybrid stuff confuses me too.
Bruce

A couple more SASE's arrived this weekend and the seeds are all packaged up and in the mailbox for the mailman tomorrow morning. One of the packs that will go out tomorrow is going to: Isaac H. I do not know which nickname on garden web you are using so let me know so I can mark it as shipped.

I will wait until Friday to receive the remainder of the SASE's. At that time, I will re-offer any excess seeds that I have left.

Thanks,
Bruce

Got my seeds today, and planted them right away! Thanks again.

Dan

Thank you Bruce! Will be planting tomorrow night....will keep you updated.

Seeds came in yesterday and have already found their way into my homemade germination box. Thanks

Thanks Bruce, the seeds came today. Now I just have to wait till they grow; then it's hot sauce time!

Eric

Thanks so much Bruce! I got the seeds today and can't wait to start them all!

Excellent everyone. Just let me know later in the summer how they worked out for you. Have a great growing season.
Bruce

Bruce,
Sorry I was late in getting sase out to you. Mailed today

Thanks Bruce I got mine yesterday but didn't get to get on here. I will plant several soon.

Thanks again.

OK, it looks like the giveaway will be ending this Friday. If your SASE has not gone out by today, it likely won't make it here in time. The last request I got was several days ago so there has been ample time. I am still waiting on a couple that recently emailed and said they had just sent it. Beyond that, it will end Friday. I will still have a few batches of seeds left in case I get a late SASE that made a detour through China or got caught up in the New England snow storm however. And if one or two more REALLY, REALLY want some of the seeds, I can probably accomodate but act fast.
Here is the list of those whose seeds I have already sent out and a list of those I am waiting on for a SASE.

Aww too late? Class act my friend! Happy growing!

Nope, you are good, I got your email. I have you on the list. I just need the sase now.
Bruce

Bruce- thank you so much for sharing your seeds.. Received them yesterday and planted them last night. Can't wait!!

Rich

I received mine yesterday. Thanks! Hope to plant soon.

Glad to hear people are getting their seeds. Just a few more outstanding requests left that will still be filled.
Bruce

A big thank you. I was overjoyed to get so many varieties of seeds, none of which I had. This chile head is in heaven. I know it took a lot of time for you to do this. You are very generous.

toucan: I enjoyed doing it and later on this summer, I am looking forward to some pictures and descriptions of how things turn out for everyone.
Bruce

Bruce,
Just recieved my seeds, thanks again that was very nice of you. I am going to get them started tonight and will let you know how it goes.

Got my seeds today. . so excited to try more new peppers.

Thanks a bunch

MIssyGA64: Glad to hear it. Good luck this summer.
Bruce

Hey Bruce, I received the seeds! Thank you so much. You are proof that there is still good people left around here. I will let you know how things come along. Got them started already!! Thanks again!

dbuchner:
Glad to hear that. And yes, please do let me know how things turn out later this summer.
Enjoy,

Esox's peppers are highly recommended. I got Bhut jolokia and orange habanero seeds last year from him and they were beautiful plants which were fantastically productive. Here is a picture of the orange hab and at the link below is a pic of the Bhuts.

Here is a link that might be useful: Bhut jolokia

Nancybeetoo:
Wow, nice Hab plant there. That is about how mine got too. Huge production. It had a ton of full size pods on it when the season ended too....same thing for the Bhut's....Although, I have been told the Bhuts were actually a variety of Naga and not truly Bhut Jolokia. I tried to notify everyone on this list last year of that fact. Never-the-less, they are extremely hot and like you said, productive. Your Habanero there is even bigger than mine but then you have a couple months of extra growing season than I do.
Good job and I hope you have as good of a season this year.
Bruce

Bruce,

Naga or Bhut, they were delicious.

Oregon is known for a long, cool growing season and we don't always get a good pepper crop.

I pulled the plants when the nights started getting cold and even the green pods ripened. I had so many peppers that I ended up drying several dryer loads and I have about 2 quarts of ground peppers at this point. I think I will add it to salsa to make it hotter.

Nancy

2 quarts of ground peppers.....sheeeesh! That is gonna be a lot of salsa. Good for you and hope this year is a repeat.
Bruce
