Re: Scotch Bonnet breeding...

i brough back some seeds from jamaica once from a Scotch Bonnie pepper and got great healthy hot peppers from it.

I place the seed in a little bit of water in a plastic cup on the kitchen window (I get tons of sun in my kitchen early morning) I let the water almost dry out,then I tip some more, they keep swelling,I keep tipping in water Not 2 much.then I planted them. I later transfered the pot outside when it was warm. I could not believe how much pepper I got.

<note to self, water existing plants right after mi get off this computa!>

See that's what I was afraid of JJ. Cause me and plant watering don't come naturally. ANd all the plant dem on the terrace where the sun hot. And when I say hot I mean 40C hot. So I water them and they affi survive bout 3 or 4 days at a time before dem se4e water again. I do get smaddy to water them when I leave out for a longer period though.

So you think the peppa dem should keep inside to keep it from the heat?
