FREE! Naga Jolokia Peppers

[Gizmo]

I received the package today.  Thanks Arnie.
Wow, those are some large Nagas.  I was expecting a shorter pepper like a habanero.  Your earth boxes were good producers.

Customs must be enjoying the peppers. lol ;D

You can check out http://www.pepperjoe.com/shoppingcart/html/pepper.html for some info on them.

The peppers have very few seeds and so the seeds are pretty expensive.  Scrape out some of the seeds, let them dry and then start them indoors - late winter.  They take a while to get going but once they do, they grow like weeds.  

I've already sent out about 40 of them.  I probably have another 20 green ones on the bushes.  I was considering picking, drying and grinding to a powder, then sprinkling that on my brother-in-law's burger.   ;D ;D

Well that's a bummer Dave.  When I sent yours, I had to fill out a real simple customs form.  I went to different PO in town for Monday's shipment.  I had to fill out a three part form.  Nothing like the gov'ment.

Please let me know if you don't get them by the end of this week.  I'll find some way to get you some.

Last time I shipped to Canada, I had to fill out the huge 3 part form..

Time before that, it was just a tiny little form the size of a post-it note.

Kev,

Go here:  http://www.pepperjoe.com/shoppingcart/html/pepper.html and look for the Peter Pepper.  Mine are not as anatomically correct as some of the pics.

ROTFLMAO  ;D :D ;D

That's a riot Arnie!!!! I love it!

They have arrived. I tried a small piece of one and had to check in the mirror if the hole when right through my tounge or just felt like it. Thanks You very much. I am going to try and save the seeds to see if they will grow here in the Great White North. Thanks again

[ArnieM]

I'm glad you finally got them Dave.  Thanks for the reply.  Boy, two weeks.  I could have driven them up there faster.

The seeds need moisture and a warm temp to get going.  After that, it's mainly a lot of sun and heat.  Mine started out pretty scrawny looking and then turned into 2 foot bushes when they took off in the summer.

Sorry about your tongue.  ;D  These are not biting peppers.

[KevinG]

Uh oh, there's some new heat in town.

Thanks for the info Kevin.  It looks interesting.  :D

They sound about like a ghost pepper. Now I like hot stuff but if they are like a ghost pepper I don't want know part of eating one. They are only good for a very small dab to add spice to something any thing you have to wear gloves to handle will be even harder on your insides not to mention the next day. good luck to those who try to eat them plain. :'(
