i was given a pod last summer that was supposed to be a vietmanese yellow cayenne and named ho chi minh. they had great fruity taste and then kick ass heat. i seem to have not saved the seeds. i thought i had, but can't seem to find them which bums me out immensley. i would try to find...

any of you out there got kids? i have a grandaughter who is 20 months old and hoping to send her down the red hot road. i was wondering when and how some of you got your kids into eating peppers. i grew up in a "meat n taters" house with no seasoning cept maybe salt and black pepper. so let...

thanks for all the replys. i wish i was in some tropical local where i could just go harvest some fresh bannanas, and put the pods in a bag with the nanners; but if i could do that, then i wouldn't need to worry about whether frost and chill were a problem would i. better put that tropical...

hey quad....you've never seen a ripe one around on the east side of the mountains?......do you grow? red serranos are one of my favorites to just slowly nibble away on while doing projects or at work. they are pretty used to seeing me walk up to work with a pod in my mouth..."one or more a...

i live in a catch-22 situation...because by the time my pods have ripened here in western washington in october,, its time to be at least start a fire each night in the woodstove (depending on temp add more wood or just initial fire to take out cool). anyway, i've dried poblanos,guallios...

i had a friend move down to new mexico last year to take care of her mom for a year and she sent me some NM pepper seeds. one was called cochiti from the cochiti pueblo. has anyone ever grown this pepper? i am wondering what to do with them....yesterday i saw a few are ripening. i hav read...

i'm curious, the one you say is a serrano and started from seed....the pod looks blunt like a jalapeno. is the stem fuzzy? the lasat pic looks more like it is fuzzy to me. every serrano i've ever grown had fuzzy stems. could it be the ole tag-switcheroo??? the first surely seems to be...
