I spent a lot of time on the forum the year before last.  Everybody was really helpful and I've had a good harvest (for me) two years in a row now.  Still a lot to learn and might be able to give some newbies some advice at this point.   Mike

Hi All!  Last year was my first real year growing peppers and I learned a lot by reading posts daily and asking a bunch of questions which you all were nice enough to answer.  I grew several varieties again this year and added Carolina Reapers which I was pretty excited about.   I'll post some...

My pepper plants have exploded in the past month...currently one Savina has over 100 pods of decent size.   I've noticed that some of the leaves are turning yellow and falling off.  One or two leaves here and there, but its made me wonder what is the plant doing during this final phase.   1. ...

Every time I water my plants, we have a moderate to extreme downpour within a few hours.  :doh:   I'm probably batting around .800 this season.  :party:   M

It took longer than expected, but I'm finally getting some significant growth on my plants.  I have until towards the end of October before I'd have to bring them indoors, but I think I'm in decent shape for them doing their thing and finishing up outside.  I'm not basing this timeline on...

By all accounts and comparisons I should have had pods at least a month ago.   My rookie guess (first year growing) is they weren't getting pollinated.  I had what seemed like round after round of flowers, but none ever turned into pods.   I finally started shaking, rolling with cotton swabs...

A friend of mine is from Peru, and when she found out that I'm growing peppers, she freaked out.  She can't find any Lemon Drops locally, and wants to cook some authentic Peruvian dishes, memories of her childhood, all that stuff.  She asked me to grow some for her, how could I refuse such a...

Got all my peppers together for a group photo last night :)   Top right, and biggest is Savina, in front of it Trinidad Scorpion (I'm really hoping for some good peppers from this one).   Two yellow bhuts, one red bhut, and another Savina on the left in the bigger pots.   And in the middle some...

I've read in various posts from other members that pepper plants will not bear fruit in temperatures consistently in the 90s.  I'm in South Carolina and right now it's perfect in the 80s, but we'll definitely have some 90s+ weather again soon.   I have my plants in pots.  Rather than shield than...

Hey everybody, after a busy week of work, catching up on the forum.  I wanted to share a couple pics of my plants.   I started them from seed at the end of January under some grow lamps.  Had them in 3 gallon pots until about two weeks ago.  I have them in 10 gallon pots now based on a...

Hello everybody,   I'm growing peppers from seed for the first time this year so wish me luck!!  Enjoy all the great information I've ready so far.   Mike
