Description

The listing, GYO Hot Pepper Combo Kit! has ended.

Package of (15) Jalapeno seeds, (15) Heirloom Cayenne seeds, and (15) Red Savina Habanero Seeds! Three Levels of heat to cover any dish on the menu.

Jalapenos: The Jalapeno is a small to medium-sized chile pepper that is prized for the hot, burning sensation that it produces in the mouth when eaten. Ripe, the jalapeno can be 2-3½ inches and are green and red when fully mature. The taste is unique, hot and spicy. It is the most popular hot pepper grown. The jalapeno rates between 2,500 and 10,000 Scoville units in heat.

Heirloom Cayenne: Slender, long peppers turn bright-red and are very hot. The 2-feet tall plants are vigorous and productive. This heirloom has been popular many years for drying, using as a spice, and also using medicinally. 48,000 Scoville.

Red Savina Habanero: Plant produces good yields of 2" long by 1 ½" wide wrinkled hot peppers. Peppers are extremely hot and turn from green to shiny red when mature. Plant has green stems, green leaves, and white flowers. In 1994, the Red Savina was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as one of the hottest spices. At that time, it was recorded as the hottest pepper at 577,000 Scoville units.

One should keep in mind, when choosing hot peppers, that their Scoville rating is just a potential of how hot it can get, not necessarily does. the pepper produces capsaicin (the hot stuff) as a defense against harm (being eaten). Sometimes you can love them too much! Lots of water, fertilizer, perfect sun/shade, will make the plant comfortable and unproductive. Try stressing your peppers by reducing the water cycle during mid to late fruit stage.

In a perfect world: Fertilize your peppers with a mix that is low in nitrogen, high in potassium, high in phosphorus. The nitrogen isn't so important, the pepper just doesn't absorb it (Beware! High nitrogen will cause "nutrient lock", stopping uptake of nutrients and starving in out). Potassium: Buy a potash additive or burn hardwood to ash in your barbeque, tilling either in to the soil before planting. Phosphorus: Buy Bone Meal or Bat Guano, Or till in banana peel if nothing else. As a matter of superstition, I plant a matchstick when the flowers drop!
