Wondering if you guys can share some ideas on which peppers I should cross: I've been growing peppers for just a couple of years and I want to start experimenting with pepper crosses.   I'm sure many of you have tons of experience so it would be great if we could together work on a list of...

  I'm sorry, but that being...?

I was out of town for a while and came back to find some of my plants with severe aphid infestation, I'll deal with that but I also found this guy lurking around, any idea what he is? Thanks!  

Hi guys, I found this happy family living in my Caribbean Red plant. I'm pretty new to growing peppers but they're aphids, right? I've read about using soap, would this be ordinary dishwasher soap? (ie: Fairy Liquid or similar). Any other tips? Thanks guys!    

  You know what you're talking about, lived in Spain for many years and some of the olive oil there is AMAZING. Spaniards are very proud of it, but for some reason it doesn't seem to be as well known as Italian or Greek...

  Austin, these were given to me by a friend so I wouldn't know, but I've seen your post and at least the flowers look exactly the very same as the ones on this plant. Having said that, many baccatum would have similar flowers so I guess we'll never know for sure...

So, seasons have come and gone and I still don't know what to make of this plant! It's produced quite a few peppers but one thing I do know is it's not a very stable variety, they seem to come in all size and shape... I've taken pictures of the two "most present" shapes...maybe someone wants to...

  True, I must admit I hadn't even thought of Champion, but now that you mention it and that I've been looking at some pictures these resemble very much what I have here... Time will tell!

So... a few weeks have come and gone and this plant is producing its first few pods, as promised I am uploading a few pictures to see if anyone wants to try and guess what this plant will turn out to be! So far all I've established is it's a Baccatum, but I'm sure you guys can enlighten me!      

Not to be ungrateful, but I believe these seeds were given to me by a friend who handed me a few samples so we'll have to blame it on bad labeling on his side  :whistle: Trident, thanks for the offer!! I won't sow any more plants this year but I'll take your word so count on me dropping a line...

Thanks to both  :cheers:  Guess we'll just wait and see...

Thanks Joyners for the quick reply! That is precisely what I think, but any ideas as to what it may be? I know its a long shot but thought I'd ask as it will be a while before I can see what the flowers turn into...

Hi there Pepperheads :) Might just be me being green, but I am not entirely sure what to make of this... Amongst my plants I have this one... seeds were labeled as "Scotch Bonnet Red", but now that it is flowering I am faced with these six-petal spotty flowers that to me resemble more a...

Cool, thanks for the help!!!

Thanks Juanitos!! I'll be careful about that then :) I take it it's just a matter of waiting a little longer between waterings and providing some more ventilation? Any special care this plant may need to recover or will it just be temporary? I don't know if I should expect any changes on the...

It might just be me being a newbie, it's my first year growing seriously, but I have noticed some spots on the back of my Ñora plant leaves and I wanted to check with you guys what you think this is and if there is anything I could/should do!    Spots don't seem to be "mobile" or anything like...

As everyone else, I'd keep it. I've seen way worse develop into real beauties, never heard the story of The Ugly Duckling??

Thanks for your answer Crock, I knew about the opening and closing, however it is the curled leaves that worry me :( checked them all for soil humidity etc, lets hope they dont get any worse!

Hey everyone, newbie here so please excuse any obvious mistakes... Reason I'm writing is that I am running a bit of an experiment trying to grow some peppers in my windowsill beside the ones in the main setup... other than these growing a bit slower everything seemed to be fine up to today, when...
