This is an appetizer that I recently converted to hot. Base Recipe: Brown Lil Smokies in a skillet. Set aside on paper towel. In a sauce pan combine an equal measure of yellow mustard and grape jelly. Mix and bring to soft boil while stirring. Add sausages, cover, and simmer 20 minutes...

Holy cow! Them's some crazy lists folk! I'm trembling LOL 18 orange habanero - 8 are in containers. 8 jalapeno 8 hot banana 9 plants presently unknown, from Burpee All Alarm Hot Mix sweet corn, ate and gone now. 200 blue lake bush beans in their stead. royal burgundy bush beans, ate and...

It's been a habit of mine to give the first fruits of the garden away. It's usually the hot peppers, sweet peppers, green and red tomato's and a portion of the first picked and blanched green beans. Then throughout the life of the garden I'll deliver a small basket of stuff to others from time...

What's the difference between growing green peppers and red peppers? ...about 10 days. LOL

Several days ago I discovered 9 hot pepper plants that were all but forgotten. I had started these peppers from seed and somehow they got mixed in with some flowers also started from seed. In mid June I replanted from the containers to a small flower plot along the front of the house. I had...

5 whole habs is a good heat for everybody. I get so many requests for this mild jelly from people who 'don't like hot stuff' it's hard to believe. The 8 hab is also popular. The 12 hab batches only get a few requests but it's getting more popular. The whole thing started as a way to use...

I've been thinking about this since you mentioned it. It makes sense. Slight increases at the mild end are noticeable. At the very hot end, slight increases aren't noticed. I did a few tests. 8 to 12 is noticeable. 12 to 15 and 15 to 18, not so much so. But, between 12 and 20, very...

I add used coffee grounds to my compost pile. It's a good nitrogen source and has a relatively neutral ph. Mixing it straight into the soil should be OK as long as it's not too thick.

Hello Burdog, and welcome! My first pepper of the day pretty much lights me up. If I eat another of the same pepper a half hour later it won't seem near as intense. By doing this and mixing it up I can tell that my hot banana's are hotter than my tam jalapeno's and the habs pretty much put...

Hello and welcome Isaac!

Hello ray, and welcome. West door neighbor here. No idea on the dark seeds. I see this on occasion with my habs and never paid is much mind since everything else looked healthy. Might be a concern but I just don't know.

Hello and welcome!

Too true Pepp3r! We can joke about all day long but it can be a serious issue. Last year was my first exposure to habs and there was a few incidents that had me making promises to God. Whether it was the face, the eye's, the mouth, or the nether regions, I was pleading for quick mercy. And...

LOL yes, a half pint. I was trying to sound manly but probably should have said half gallon. Truth is I have to squat to pee... I don't have enough to aim with. I actually converted a 10 gallon fish tank into a bidet and fill it with 2% milk. If I feel the burn down yonder I just straddle...

I agree, pretty flowers! The purple through the stalk, branches, and leaves is neat too. When I first saw it I was thinking that I've got to grow one of these.
