That's a lotta peppers! The post office is going to love you. I'll be interested to hear how the venture works out for you.

I was planning on growing primarily for pure seed this year with isolation cages and starting to sell seeds in the fall, but it's sure tempting to start a hundred each of the ones with big numbers that everyone is going to be looking for now, it's not much later than I started everything last year. Problem is the kids act like they're handling radioactive waste when I ask them just to bring me a bucket with peppers in it, I can't imagine them actually picking them. Although if prices are what they were last year I think that might motivate them...
