    soil Reusing Soil

    I have a similar question but it's for potting soil. I want to reuse some potting soil from plants that have been repotted into bigger containers, root pruned, or dead and use it to top off other containers and perhaps use any remains to fill an entire container (for a new plant). I'm concern...

    Anyone growing Shishito Peppers that are healthy?

    I agree with it not needing too much water. I've prune two and brought them inside. The one that I left outside seem to be doing ok now after not including it in my normal watering cycle. It's been a soild week (7days) without water and the daily temp is around 80+ F, but for some strange reason...

    Bhut Jolokia: After you eat it, stick them in your eyes!

    @trevonator that was reckless. Thanks for the video. Ok, great. We have... Mouth - Check Eyes - Check Hmm...we're still missing Bhut Jolokia in ears, a-holes (prefer not to see this), open wounds, noses, acne spot(s), am I forgetting something? Just kidding.

    chinense Chocolate Bhut

    Yes sir. Very nice. I wish I had a Bhut Jolokia plant of any varient. I always miss the "seed train," but it doesn't matter much since I never have any luck germinating any pepper seeds.

    overwintering Almost gave up on my overwintered bhut

    Hang in there. It still has some fight in it. Yeah, aphids love to munch on new growth. Strangely, I can't wait until it's my chance to overwinter. My mom said her friend had chili plants that had never been brought inside during the colder months and are doing fine year after year. I hate to...

    Bhut Jolokia: After you eat it, stick them in your eyes!

    Most of you might have seen this and I've searched the forum for it but couldn't find it. So I am posting it for the others who may not have seen it. Don't try this at home. This women is crazy. Unfortunately, no one offered her tissues when she was crying so she decided instead to wipe her...

    Anyone growing Shishito Peppers that are healthy?

    @LGHT They are semi-thick skinned, low seeds, and are very mild in the heat range. The japanese usually have them as sides when they BBQ. I won't comment too much on flavor since after I grill them they taste sort of plain, slightly smoky, with a combination of bitterness and sweetness. If I had...

    Anyone growing Shishito Peppers that are healthy?

    Thanks for taking the time to post a pic of your plant. Looks better than mine! Did you buy your plant from H&H Nursery in Lakewood? Because that's where I got mine.

    Anyone growing Shishito Peppers that are healthy?

    @LGHT, I'm done with the Miracle-Gro fert. It is way too strong. I've seriously mixed half of what they suggested but it still lights the plants on fire. After I added the fert awhile back I did notice the dripping excess to be "brownish." I am going hack it, repot, and bring it indoors...

    Anyone growing Shishito Peppers that are healthy?

    @judisushi06 I hate you! That Shishito pepper plant looks awsome. I wish mine looked like that. The leaves are so healthy looking. Your other pepper plants look great, too. Great job! Maybe I should get some CalMag. Is CalMag good for only peppers or can I use them for other plants as well...

    powder-flake "Crushed Red Pepper" - what variety is it?

    @ultravista @jetskee. I thought I was the only one who had tried the CD spindle cover. My wife thought I was being weird and cheap. Ha. Genius-I say. Never thought you could germinate or consider germinating crushed red peppers from the jar. Going off topic for a bit, does anyone know what...

    Anyone growing Shishito Peppers that are healthy?

    Thanks for replying. You've provided some good info. My wife and I have them as sides with the Japanese dishes she prepares. I tried to impress her by growing them because she gets them all the time at the market and I figured why not (grow them)? I use kellogg potting soil. All my peppers are...

    Anyone growing Shishito Peppers that are healthy?

    Hey everyone. I have 3 Shishito pepper plants that are not doing as well as my other peppers. I give them the love and care like the rest of the peppers and all of them are doing well except the Shishito peppers. Their leaves are crinkly, mutated, buds turning yellow and are falling off, a...
