greengrass: was your seed purchased from a grower/company ...or from some seed you had saved?

In another posting today I have mentioned the crazy chiles we are getting from purchased packets seed of 'specific' chile varieties this year! Mixtures!

I save seed. Last year they were purely bell peppers. This year they are large like bell peppers but a little more elongated.They are quite tasty. I got my first red one today and it was hot enough after eating a whole one to leave my upper lip pins and needles with heat. Not sure if red ones are hotter than green or coincidence. I have only got one red one and it was the hottest yet.

A LOT of People would LOVE hot Bells.
Save your seeds,you have some trading material to get what you want to grow.
The Bonnet Bell mix I grew were small pods.
Are you sure it wasn't a Poblano/Ancho cross?
Most crosses that end up hot resemble the hot end of the cross= small pods if Habanero...
But I can see a larger pod from a Poblano type pepper X.

Tons of people are crossing big peppers with supers to get a giant super hot.

If you have seeds to trade E Mail me.
Would be interested in what the cross grows...

I want some of these seeds. I am willing to trade or send a SASE. a hot bell sounds awesome.

greengrass .... seems that you hit the jackpot.

WoW is all I can say. Had no idea what I had. I saved about 40 seeds or so from the hot red bell that I ate yesterday. Like I said that was the hot one where all the greens that I ate previously were just mildly spicy. The joke is at first I thought that the spiciness from the first few peppers that I ate was coming from the the cutting board where I cut my hot peppers every day. It took me a few peppers to finally figure out it wasn't my imagination.

I will try to take care of the people who would like seeds starting with smokemaster. Just give me some time to see how the other peppers come in.

Question: I put some peppers in refrigerator last night as a frost was expected here in ma. I expect the seeds would still be viable. Would you guys agree? I will post pictures later today.

note the slightly rounded bottom.

seeds will probably still be good from a refrigerated pepper, but I haven't heard of much success from frozen peppers. my request would be that you let it ripen a bit further before picking for maximum seed viability. seriously though, I want some. I wanna try some crosses next year. plus, I can pull the ol' switcharoo on people expecting a normal sweet bell. smokemaster asked first, but I'm second in line.

If I were you , I would just let it to sit of the counter until it gets flame red. Then get the seeds and eat the meat. Recently I bought green serrano from store and some left of the counter turned beautiful red and I saved seeds from it. I have heard even some green ones can have viable seeds.

I didn't mail my want list yet as I am trying to figure out if I actually want anything. I grow J Choc hab, Jalapeno, cayenne. I think I might add scotch bonnet.

I emailed the question only because I wanted to make sure that you got the question. I will also unblock email. thanks.
