I was talking to Anne about those at the Flabby's offline, and I'd love to get my hands on one as well. John, will you let us know when we can buy a plant (or at least some peppers)?
Ill be sure to let you know when they are ready,probably around derby day. I didnt get the germination I thought I would, but I will be sure to reserve some plants for you and Steve. I got the seeds from a guy in India who told me they grind the peppers up and make a paste out of them. They take the paste and paint the fences around the fields and houses to repel elephants. He also sent me a dried one to test out but I havent had the nerve yet. Im thinking an elephant repellent pepper is not something I want to ingest, but I would enjoy watching you guys give it a shot.
