Thanks Hobby, but some of our peppers have been traveling around the globe
for hundreds of years now, would you think they might pick up something
nasty on their long trip back to the USA? I am not saying they do/have/are
carrying new foreign diseases or pests, just curious if anyone has had any
problems. The general consensus seems to be go for it and bring in new
seeds. Considering how much controversy was generated over GM of pepper
plants I would have thought people would be more cautious about possibly
infecting the entire country with some new pepper disease that found a
naive host when peppers were introduced in a new land and then hitched a
ride back to America. If my Indian friend goes back to India I will ask
them to bring back a couple of ounces of seeds and it will be my turn to
share seeds with the list.
