Hi gang, My Thai Dragon plants have been developing what looks like salt or sand on the leaves and stems: The leaves in the photos look a little wilted, but that's from the afternoon sun and lack of water. They look normal when watered. Does anyone know what this is? Is it harmful to...

I've got a Rocoto Rojo that I grew last year. The plant has been kept indoors at work. Last year it grew quite a lot and was one of the healthier plants that I grew. I ended up having to prune it in mid summer from all the growth. It overwintered well enough and it is now growing really well. So...

:hell: A volcano somewhere in Iceland recently played havoc on Almapaprika and yours truly during our wedding weekend (I am no longer a solo pepper...I am...a salad...I guess. Though I may have to cross Almapaprikas with Aji Chombos to see what our future children might look like :P). We ended...

Hi everyone, Have decided (been inspired by everyone else, really) to keep a thread here about my attempt to grow plants this year. Most of the weird, off-topic stuff I normally babble about I'll confine to my blog, but I'll share the photos and interesting capsicum related anecdotes here as...

My other half ripped the page off the newspaper at work yesterday and read it, laughing and thinking of me and my 'strange hobby'. I found it online (Don't know why she finds it strange...maybe she finds me strange...:shocked:), and thought it would be a fun read for people from the forum...

Well, I am finally part of the brother(and sister)hood of Naga eaters! Since I spread the word earlier this week, a small crowd of people at gathered in the staff room at work today (it was around 20 of us) to watch some of us eat some of the pods that I have been growing at work this season...

I can officially call the 2009 harvesting season on! Picked my first Ring of Fire (just wanted to call them Reign of Fire for some strange reason...), which were swiftly turned into a Mango, Chilli and Lime salad and given to work colleagues (just so they know the good things being grown in the...

Felt a bit like 'thunder stealing' on JungleRain when I commented on the 'Demon Piri Piri' (really sorry about that JR. didn't mean it in any bad way). Here are some pics of said Piri Piri that popped up on one of my plants, horns and beard included! :hell: There are a few others on the...
