So I made a batch of sriracha and put in a couple jars to ferment and get nice and tasty. I forgot about them. Found them today. Date on the lid is 9/2013. Popped the lid on one jar and it smalls great and doesn't look bad in anyway. So...do you think it would be safe to strain and cook and give...

Didn't plant any....but I seem to be growing some. Plant next to it has pods that look identical except the shoulders are coloring up red.      

Been trying to ID this pepper. It's planted and labeled as a chocolate habanero but obviously it isn't chocolate nor is it hanbanero. I didn't plant anything that would be similar to this...chocolate bhut is the only thing that I have that is similar in shape but I only have one plant. I got a...

Here's the pods...     I made a batch of tomato juice. Homemade V8 more or less. First batch I used one scorpion pepper just to test the heat which ended up being nice and pleasant. This was a half gallon batch of juice. Wanting to kick it up a notch, made a second batch, same amount, used a...

Some of my scorpions are bumpy and some are not. The bumpy ones look mean for sure...I was just curious why some are and some are not. These pictures are all scorpions on different plants. All the bumpy are one one plant, the smooth on another. I haven't seen a mix on the same plant.   Smooth  ...

Labeled Black Habanero     And this one Chocolate Habanero     Neither of them looking very habanero like. Only thing I have planted that looks even remotely similar is one Chocolate Bhut.  

Just wanted to see if anyone could help ID these two peppers.   This one is labeled chocolate habanero...     This one black habanero...     Thanks.

I was messing around and tried hand pollinating some of the flowers on my reapers with a small paint brush. Then I decided to try pollinating a few of the flowers on a chocolate hab plant. I used the same brush to see if it would create a reaper/chocolate hab cross. Is cross pollinating...

Figured I'd make one post to ask several questions so here goes.....   Can anyone ID this pepper? Still green but the shape should help. I planted it as a chocolate hab but it definitely doesn't look like a hab. All the peppers on this plant look like this, not just one.             Pest...

I'd like to grow a couple of these next year or even start them this year and over winter. 

I've grown run of the mill habs before, japs on a yearly basis, even had a successful ghost pepper last year. This summer I am making a slightly more serious attempt at growing some super hots. Not having the room in a good growing spot...I decided to go a little more vertical since it was...

I guess hacking up plants that you have lovingly nurchured over the months can be a little unsettling for a first timer...I guess I need help deciding if I should cut or not. I have a good 2.5 to 3 months of growing season left. Largest plants are about a foot tall. Smallest are just 3-4" tall...

In the raised bed I usually plant my peppers...they never seem to do well. On the side of the house they do great but that area is earmarked for my wife's flowers...so...I needed a new place. The only other place in the yard that gets the same amount/intensity of sun as the side of the house...

I've had zero luck in three years of trying. I'd love to grow some scorpions...any variety...I'm not picky. Just want seeds that will actually germinate and give me at least a shot at growing some peppers. I can grow the heck out of japs, habs, and ghost peppers. The scorpion has eluded me thus...

Ground up some peppers last year (or year before). Mostly if not all jalapenos. Honestly don't remember what I put in the mix. It's been in a year for at least a year or longer. Maybe two years. The jar has just kinda become a fixture in the corner on the counter top...lol...anyways, I'm getting...

My g/f bought me this little "kit" that was supposed to be ghost pepper seeds. It was a metal can, much like a soda can. It has some seeds and media. You started the seeds in the can, which I did. I kept the two strongest plants and have been growing them all summer. I'm finally getting peppers...

Don't need many. I'd like to have a few plants in the garden this year. THANKS!

I should have asked this a while ago since it's probably too late to plant anything, though I might continue to practice, but I planted to load of seeds back in early May. A lot germinated and even made it to first true leaves, then they just die. I stared and have about 50 mature Jalapeno...

Not looking for handouts, I'm more than willing to pay for the seeds. I am looking for seeds. I lost about 50 seedlings, various Japs, Habs, and about 15 Trinidad Scorpions which makes me very sad. I really was hoping I could get those to grow this year since last two times I ordered seeds from...

You can use whatever peppers you want...I went with Jalapeno and Habanero since that is all I had but I would think your imagination is the only limit with this.... The recipe is super simple and very basic. It allows for full pepper flavor but adds sweet to cut the heat. This stuff is...
