Has anyone grown Tabasco peppers from seed? I'm trying to this

Is this normal for Tabasco peppers? Are they fussy geminators?


huh? I thought tobasco was a company name. Planting tobasco peppers
sounds like planting heinz tomatoes.

Tabasco is a state in Mexico, so I'd guess the peppers come from that
region.
