My girlfriend and I made jamaican beef patties last night from this SeriousEats recipe. Holy crap, they turned out way better than expected for our first try, and the scotch bonnet right out of our garden was killer. I'd use even more next time.     If anyone is interested in making this, here's...

Big storm rolled through Chicago yesterday and took this nicely laden branch off one of my SBs. Any advice on trying to ripen them? I've done a bit of reading but figured it'd be worth asking here as well. Anyone have success with the paper bag method? Add a banana? An apple? Just put them in a...

Second year grower, first year starting inside. I thought maybe the yellow spots I had seen developing recently had been trauma from hardening off in partial sun this past weekend but they're continuing to develop. Feel free to tell me to settle the f*** down, or if I do have a problem, any...

Hey all, Just came into ownership of two 2 foot, 2 bulb, T5 Lithonia fixtures last night. (I believe they're these) I'm planning on using them to replace my current seed starter light and then continue with some basil, lettuce, etc.. I'm new to the indoor game and from what I've been reading...

Hi all, New member to the forum, somewhat new-ish grower.   I've been thinking about growing some scotch bonnets this year and have begun looking for seeds. In my searching, I've read that some sources will just sell you mislabeled habanero seeds. This has made me wary of buying from non-name...

Hey everybody, Recently got into growing peppers. This spring I mixed up seedlings and due to some squirrel related incidents, I wound up with two habaneros instead of one hab and one jalapeno. I can't say I was upset, because my yield was over 75 habs and loved finding ways to use them.   My...
