This Auction: You will be receiving 5 garden grown seeds. They will be sent First Class mail. I only take Paypal for International bidders, I do combine any additional auction seeds (within 5 days) for no additional shipping charge. I am happy to say that my seeds tested 99-100% germination within 2 weeks at a temp of 70°F in the spring of 2012. Excellent for beginners!

Propagation Method: From seed, sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before last spring frost. Sow 2-3 seeds per pot and thin to one plant per container. After four weeks, transplant seedlings to larger pots, and about 10 days before the last spring frost, begin hardening the plants to the outdoors. Transplant your plants to a sunny, highly composted location when soil temperatures are at least 55 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit.

I've always wanted to taste one of these but I was never able to

Funny that you say that...I have never actually tasted one either. I am afraid. I have bags full of chopped Ghosts in the freezer, but have not done anything with them other than making a spray to keep bunnies out of the garden. LOL

There really good peppers in a very small amount, I have used them for wing challenge sauces and in hot chili cook offs. Don't eat one out right or you will regret it the next day.

I never ate one. I use them in pepper sprays to keep away the rabbits in the garden. I have watched friends eat them & then cry and get sick in the bathroom. I am waiting to add them to my winter chili this year. I'm sure I will only need a pinch.

LOL- I just noticed that I answered almost the same on both statements. Well, at least I am consistent. (:

May I suggest trying them with a heat source below your seed trays. I have had excellent luck that way. You can use an actual seed mat, or just place your tray on top of a florescent light strip. That is what I do. I lay a cheap thermometer down to be sure it stays around 70- 80°F first. A big mistake is to have the soil too moist. I hope you have better luck with my seeds.
