plantmanager said:Rita, her Shishito peppers were all bagged up in a bag, but I'm wondering if maybe a few other types got mixed in? She said a few of the larger ones were quite hot, and she likes hot peppers.

I had bought seeds of the Shishito pepper from Kitizawa and planted about 15. Only one germinated for me and was growing well in the greenhouse. I decided I'd put it outdoors so it might grow faster. Some critter ate the whole lone plant last night.

Sometimes you get a hot one but it is very rare. A bag should not have hot ones.

Don't know why you didn't get more seeds to germinate. They are not hard peppers to start up as far as peppers go. Don't give up!!!
