This is my last post about this leech. Nobody trust buying seeds from JP (@jimmypickles5). Hes a complete liar and con artist. I have called him out multiple times and exchanged voice notes on instagram up until he blocked me. Purely posting about him so that any other pepper enthusiasts especially new ones, dont fall for the same trap. I should have done more research, but what can you do. Its not even about the money, its the principal. Being excited about buying all these new crazy varieties to add to the collection and then get what id assume to be all jalapeño' seeds, is such a let down. Everyone who has insta should report him and unfollow if you are following him. All the best guys. Happy collecting and growing! 🌱

I’m confused. Are you expecting the seeds to look different according to the variety? Within a species seeds would look all the same. Maybe between different species you would have some difference, but almost all pepper seeds I have ever encountered have looked the same.

I’m surprised you even got your order , watch out for seed ninjas
The guy seems truly unhinged and not completely sane

Do a charge back on your card. You didn’t get what you paid for. The only way this person will learn is if his customers follow through with this kind of action… dont let people get away with this kind of stuff.
On the other end, and im sure everyone knows this…. but if something is too good to be true, it is. Tons of exotic peppers for $1 each? Red flags all over the place. Save yourself the trouble and go with an established and reliable seller. Sorry, I know it probably didn’t need to be said as im sure people know this…
Thanks for posting this though. I appreciate the heads up so more people dont come across the same problem. I hate liars.
What did the principal ever do to you 🙁
