Hi all.   Looking to grow this type of pepper (failed attempt last year via some commercial seeds i received). curious if anyone has some extra seeds. i can send either SASE or we can trade perhaps? I don't have a huge crazy list of exotic hot peppers, but maybe you might consider growing...

Hi, a few years ago a friend gave me some red peppers which looked similar to marconi sweet red pepper, or those bull type long pepper (corno de toro, etc).   i thought they were sweet up until i tasted them. to my surprise, they were spicy and very good. unfortunately, he didn't know what they...

Hi, i was researching a bit about the optimum time to fertilize pepper plants and found an interesting document on research for peppers (something which lack unlike tomato research). link: http://hortsci.ashspublications.org/content/43/5/1549.full for my tomato plants, i typically wait until...
