What is a hot burrito? Really cool being pretty into peppers and seeing ones you’ve never heard. The amount of varieties and hybrids these days is fascinating.

Yes from seed suppliers online. You can find thousands of varieties from different areas of the world. Pretty cool

Also lots of places ship live plants if you do not want to start from seed but it is much more expensive. I was lucky to find a guy where I live with a small backyard nursery who grows a lot of unique peppers. He sells all of his pepper and tomato plants for a buck.

Reimer Seeds has the biggest online selection of pepper seeds I have personally seen. Their downfall is quality though. I have gotten duds from them a couple of times so just know that that is a possibility.

I've got mammoth jalapenos, san ardo, a couple of belle varieties, and a cayenne variety I cannot remember the name of off the top of my head.



Does anyone have a copycat recipe of Tapatio Hot Sauce (or any other mexican hot sauce really)? I really like the flavor, I want to give it an extra kick though.

Previous replies are correct. Lots of sources online for seeds, and I have found that peppers typically don't germinate anywhere close to 100%.

And they are slow growers. I've decided to start next year's peppers at Thanksgiving.

How are everyone's Habanadas doing? I finally found someone shipping live plants and ordered two today. Will not be here until the first of June so I hope it will not be to late to start a small plant.

Peppers are perennials. Trim them back, repot and take inside for the winter.

I've grown them for a few years, but not this year. In our garden, I plant them at the same time as the rest of my peppers, but they don't tend to get going until later in the summer and really thrive in the fall. This may be my particular microclimate, but capsicum chinese peppers all do better later in the year. They tend to grow into giant shrubs loaded with peppers until a real hard freeze gets them.

I got mine from here. He usually gets seeds from the original creators of the peppers

My habanadas were the smallest plants out of all my starts. I planted one, and it didn't make it. I kept my extra peppers under lights, so I replanted yesterday. It's still a very small plant, so it'll take awhile to get there.
