Has anyone grown Tabasco peppers from seed? I'm trying to this
year, but my germination rate is very low and the plants that
have germinated are growing slower than the other peppers.
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.


not sure, but I think they're a particular strain of cayenne.


I thought that too, but they're not. Cayennes are _C.annuum_.
Tabasco peppers are a different species, they're _C.frutescens_.
