Piment d'Espelette gourmet hot pepper

Post: # 86560Post marshlander »

If you've seen strings of peppers in the markets of the Basque region of France - this is it!

I've some spare seed, any takers?

As I'm trying to create a herb garden, medicinal and culinary, so I'd prefer herb seeds/cutting to swap but anything considered.

I'm at work at the moment, so i cant' dig through my seed collection, but i think i've got some anise and possibly some tarragon.

I'll hvae a look properly tomorrow, but will you swap for whatever i find herb-wise?

If you still have some spare seeds I am a big fan of the chilli growing (currently have Cayenne, Jalapeno and Hot Patio sizzle plants looking very healthy, as well as Tepin and 2 varieties of Habanero seeds winging their way to me). I have Chocolate Mint or Ginger Mint that I could send cuttings from.

I can vouch that marshlanders chili seed do germinate into fine plants.

Hiya

Tarragon has disappeared (got a feeling it might have disappeared to Uni with Super,Niki..).

I have:

Anice (unknown type...) Grows nicely. i've got some growing at the moment.

Giant parsley Flat leafed, also grows well, and produces proper plants - i've still got one going from last year.

Basil Bollosco Napoletano Also supposed to be giant leafed, but i've failed at growing it. i managed two small plants from it. However...i didn't follow the instructions.

Do you want some of each?
