wait...so I can cut all of the leaves off of my plant, repot and bring it inside?  I thought I had to have a few leaves on it.  I suffered the wrath of the aphid last year, as well.   oh...and yes...definitely potting the few plants that I am bringing in tomorrow.  The low here is supposed to...

I tasted it today.  I couldn't wait.  It's pretty good.  I think one more batch with a little more mango and a touch more vinegar.  The oil separated a little bit.  I know that oil isn't necessary, but I was kind of hoping for something like balir's smokin' hot pot, with heat.  The heat is not...

it is in the canner now.  I gave it a taste test...yowzers!  it has heat!  not too bad on the flavor piece, either.  we'll see how it tastes in a couple of days

having a second year fatali and bhut, I have a lot of ripe peppers already.  It's on the stovetop now but here is what I have done so far:   3/4 lb fatali 9 bhut jolokia 1/2 lb carrots 1 1/4 lb onion 2 small heads of garlic 2 1/2 tbsp. hempseed oil 2 tsp chili powder 1/4 cup lemon juice 1 cup...

thanks, guys!  I have them sitting on the dehydrator right now.  It isn't over-powering at all.  I suppose it will maybe make it easier to share them with friends now, too!

thanks!  I will find a place to plug up the old dehydrator.

Hi All, I have several freezer bags of fatalis, bhuts, and assorted habanero types from last year's harvest.  My significant other has a strict rule on not cooking a bunch of these in the house for sauce because it tends to send everyone into those lovely coughing fits.    What can I do to these...

If anyone does decide to get some sundews, the place that I shop is www.cobraplant.com   they always package their plants really well.  Everything that I have received from them is super healthy.  You can tell that these folks love their work by the plants that you get.  And if you are like me...

Thanks for sharing this information, PepperGuru.  I over-wintered for the first time this past winter.  I lost 2 of the 4 plants, learned some valuable over-wintering lessons, and have 2 very happy peppers outside.  My fatali and bhut are setting fruit and producing a lot of leaves.   I saw that...

Thanks Guys! I was just checking out the forum on overwintering (I know, already)....I can't wait until my plants go outside next weekend!

Louisville to be more specific...this place looks pretty neat. I'm still a rookie in my hot pepper gardening (maybe 3 or 4th year growing mildly hot peppers) but I am well on my way to having beds full of heat this summer. I look forward to learning from all of you pros.
