I bought a fresh giant red Thai pepper 3 or 4 years ago, intending to
plant the seeds the following spring. Of course I forgot about it, and
just discovered the dried out pepper in the cupboard last month. I
cracked it open to get the seeds out, and it was full of dark gray mold.
Oops again. So I planted *all* the seeds in a little flat made from a
buttermilk carton. The first seedling started poking up in just 2 days.
A couple of days after that, there were almost a dozen. Last Saturday
afternoon (about 2 weeks after planting the seeds) I potted up 20 little
pepper plants, and barely made a dent in them. I'll bet there's over
100 more plants in that flat. I dunno what I'm going to do with them
all. I don't have room to plant them all out, and I don't have the
heart to throw them away.


Hi Bob, We grow a lot of those little Thai chiles. We plant them about a
foot apart. They're quite prolific and have a long growing season. Of
course, we use them mostly in Thai recipes. My wife's recipes:

If you want some seed stock, eat my SPAM and email me a mailing address.
