Has anyone successfully grown pepper plants from dried peppers from the
supermarket? I've grown seeds collected from ripe fresh peppers, but no
luck with the dried peppers -- even if they don't look heat treated. Are
the peppers irradiated or something? I bought a bag of peppers at an
Indian/Pakistani market and I'd like to try to grow them. They look like
little habaneros, but are not *nearly* as hot and they taste closer to
Mexican chile peppers. They are very seedy, and they look sun-dried
rather
than oven-dried. But no seeds have germinated yet (2 weeks).

Thanks, regards,
Bob

I tried this lasy year and had no luck. Am thinking of giving it another go
this spring.
