| Hi All.
Hoping you guys can suggest some good sellers of hot pepper seed? Also, looking for Banana and Bells. Thanks, Tropicalfreak |

| Seems like the most popular grower on this site is: www.thehippyseedcompany.com There are several other reputable ones too. Some send different seeds than ordered. Usually cheaper seeds. I got mine from pepperjoe.com and so far I am very happy. He has a good rep on this forum also. Here is a link to a thread on seed providers. http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/pepper/msg1100564129573.html Also, many trade seeds on this site so you might want to explore that avenue as well. |
|
| I got my bhut seeds from New Mexico State University's Chili Pepper Institute. http://www.chilepepperinstitute.org/ |
|
| I have purchased from tomatogrowers and peppermainia with good luck. I've never heard anything bad about either place. |
|
| I have had good luck with Reimer seeds. |
|
| Do not purchase chile seed from Reimers or EBay.....do a search on both. |

| Let me second Hippyseedcompany and Chile pepper institute. And let me discourage anyone from ordering from Seedrack. Josh |
|
| I second Peppermania. Beth Boyd is one of the most ethical people to deal with. I have bought several varieties of seeds from her and have never been disappointed. Totally Tomatoes is also a good company ... just not the variety as someone like Peppermania. |

| Tomato Growers might be best for what you are looking for. Bells and a good selection of chiles. Some of the links below sell both sweet and hot non bell chiles but no bell type or very few bells. http://www.bayoutraders.com/chile_seeds.html http://www.tradewindsfruit.com/hot_peppers.htm http://www.rainbowchiliseeds.com/ http://www.ecoseeds.com/

| I got my original Bhut Jolokia seeds last year from Jamie at thehottestpepper.com Harvested seeds from last year's plants for this year's crop (sorry Jamie). Can't wait for new peppers! I only have about a pound left in the freezer. |
|
| Bhutheads.com has some good Ghost Pepper and Hab seeds. We have had no problem growing them! |

| There's been a lot of complaints about Reimer Seeds. They got a 64% negative rating over at the Dave's Garden site. Also a thread at Garden Web. Why bother with them? Rick |

| If I had one penny left to my name, I wouldn't give it to Reimers. Well, unless it was for a donation box to get them shut down permanently. |

| Another Vote for PepperJoe! |
|
| Reimers results from this year: 9 varieties, 6 seeds each all C. baccatum. |
