:( I fear you are correct. I will grow from seed next year. Anyone have thoughts on the yellow guy?

Yes the last two or three weeks have been absolutely brutal. 18 of 21 days over 100 degrees and as high as 111. I don't have a lot of options regarding moving them. As it is they are only getting sun until about 2 pm. Perhaps I should throw up some shade cloth over top.

First the pics! Habanero: 7 pot / pod (can someone settle this once and for all?) Jonah: Bhut Jolokia: T Scorpion, Butch T: A couple of Cajun Bell's and early jalapenos: Alright, now for the questions. I have some fruit on those habaneros. The fruit in the following picture...

Glad you aren't my neighbor :(

I think it would be interesting to create a hot pepper 'circle' on Google+. While some of the features would simply be redundant to those already provided by this forum, there are others that I think would enhance this existing community. If anyone needs an invite to google+ (it's still invite...

In a word: wow. My local produce selection is not great and I had to use some substitutions, but I put this together tonight and it is fantastic - despite it being 109 degrees outside. I was able to find some chipotle canned, but for the rest of the peppers I subbed with habanero, serrano...

It's a squash! :dance:

Aye, thank you. Learn something every day. -- Just cooked up some tortilla soup with those habaneros, and I agree with first response that they have better flavor. They also seem to have a bit more heat (or it is in my head). Thank you both for the responses!

Ran by the grocery store today and, instead of the normal orange, they had these red habaneros. Can anyone summarize the difference I might expect? Also, I am certain this has been asked before, but it wont let me search for "red habanero". Mods should really consider allowing search terms...

I thought you guys couldn't have firearms?

Are you growing these indoors or out? I ask because there's not much ambient light in any of the pics. If you're growing indoors you must be using MH / HPS... which and how many watts? Thinking of trying it myself this winter.

Hate to beat a dead horse... It's my fault for not providing some reference point for the size of the pods in my original post. Here is a picture of the same pod(s). I am not an expert, but these do not look like Bell to me. Any new ideas? Please?

I've been following this thread for a few weeks now and would like to provide my own observations. I have a couple of Butch T's, two Bhut's, two 7 pot Jonah, and about 8 Habanero's. They are all in 15 gallon pots in identical conditions. My Butch T's look nearly identical to the pictures you...

Jonny - When you say you grew peppers in full shade, you mean they received no direct sun at all? It's been a bloody hot summer here so far with many 100+ degree days. I can definitely tell that my peppers slowed their growth. I was not aware you had a full shade option with this vegetable...

Bought this guy at a local nursery a couple of months ago. As you can see, it is developing pods that appear chinense. I can not recall what they were labeled as when I bought them, though I am 99% sure it had the word 'cajun' in the name. Anyone have any idea? btw I should add that it...
