Piquin seeds
Rusty,
The full sun germination may work because of the warmth, but all my large "volunteer" chili pequins seem to prefer to be under story bushes and are growing in shade under oak trees. I can find none growing in full sun. I did not plant these, they just came up in shady spots and have grown quite large. Also my habeneros seem to like partial shade as well for some reason.

I've got a dozen or so ripe (red) peppers off of a bush. I would just rub them gently in a paper towel to isolate the seeds from the pulp and then plant the seeds, spaced out an inch or so. These should germinate in full sun if the soil is kept moist. It is probably too late for fruit production this year but the plants, if frozen back this winter, usually come back from the roots. Just for safety, though, you might start them in a pot and bring it in when it gets really cold this winter. Then set them out permanently next Spring. Rusty Mase |

Best -- Gae This is also my observation. However, much of the rest of the area is mowed or cultivated, which would disturb sprouts and the trees provide a place for the birds to sit while depositing the seeds. Thus the abundance of seedlings in the under story. I expect that they will grow anywhere there is adequate moisture. |
