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.

Maybe you could sell them? I've seen people do that occasionally in
their front yards. The prices they charge are cheaper than what you
would pay at a nursery.

That's a great idea. I was thinking sprouts for salads, sandwiches, etc.

Those might be very spicy!
