Hi, I already posted this in a different section, but someone was so helpful to recommend the Grow tech section. The issue. Every year, when I move my chiles outside, they get a sunburn, which frustrates the hell out of me, because of the slow down in further growth, and I have been thinking...

Hi, Haven't been able to post in a long time because of job issues, but I hope to pick it up again in 2013. Every year, when I move my chiles outside, they get a sunburn, which frustrates the hell out of me, because of the slow down in further growth, and I have been thinking for a while about...

Hi guys, Last time I posted regarding the C. Eximium which I got from from seedsavers, and which did not turn out to be an eximium, but as someone knew, a CAP 1546. This plant has turned out gorgiously and I am looking forward tasting the peppers. From the same org came small rocoto seeds...

Hi guys, Last year I got some seed from Seedsavers, among which the C. Eximium, Manzano (Rocoto Grande) and a small Rocoto. The Manzano's all turned out to be truth manzano, but from the small Rocoto more than half are a different type of pepper, definitely annuum, with small pods, less than an...

I have a question for those of you who grow Black Seaman. Last year someone on this forum send me seeds, and for the first year, I put them in pots as a trial. The results were awesome, and we loved the taste of these Black Seaman. I kept seeds and this year I planted them in full soil. The...

Hi guys, I haven't posted in a while, too busy, but now I have to ask some advice. Because of the awesome weather we are having this year, I planted all peppers outside in the middle of April. They all picked up very good, but ... they are not gaining any height at all. They are one big bush of...

I have something strange happening with several annuum and one douglah. The growing tips simply dry and shrink away and there is almost nothing left of the tip. Growth is ofcourse stunted till new buds appear and the plant starts picking up again. But that takes several weeks. Yesterday I...

Hi guys. I have something new happening. My 2011 chilies are standing now about 8 inches tall, and most of the annuum are loaded with flowers. What do I do? My gut feeling tells me to cut them, such that they don't stun growth, but before I do I'd like to hear your opinion. What could be the...

Was just browsing the site of a french seed store, Canada or France, I'm not sure, but they carry a "mustard habanero". http://www.wallogreen.com/green/search.php?orderby=position&orderway=desc&search_query=piment Is the most interesting color I have seen. Has anyone already grown these?

I have a question for those guy that grow their peppers in pots, and the question is, what pot size do you standardly use, and how many plants do you put per pot? I plant them both in solid ground and in pots, and I have never asked myself any questions, have never seen any problems, but from...

Here a recipe that I fell in love with. In europe, tartar, based on raw beef, is known in most countries. I made my own version, which is excellent, and... which puts the sweat on your face. The recipe 1 lb of lean ground beef 2 tbs mayo 2 tbs ketchup 1 tbs sharp mustard, like Dijon 1 tbs fresh...

Hi, Does anyone know the type of scotch bonnet shown in the images? I had only one plant survive this year, but the smell and taste of the pods is typically SB. The pods are however up to 2 inches in diameter and are dark yellow / orange. Anyone know more? The seed came from the Caribbean.

Hi, Am urgently looking for some douglah seeds for the new season to come. As I have had a disastrous year, my offer is pretty limited in number of seeds, but what I can offer is: Pimenta cumari pimenta cambuci xigole Pimenta norteno Goats weed scotch bonnets (red and yellow) Yellow habanero...

Hi. After a miserable pepper season, haven't written in a long time, but now have to post about a discovery. At noon went to a Caribbean restaurant, asked the owner to make it hot. First he brought me 3 kinds of pepper sauce, with heat, he said, of 8, 30 and 55. I finished the 55 bowl with a...

Well guys, as I wrote, I started a new mash last weekend, same recipe, more garlic, with cut up cabbage leaves on top. And my goodness, this creation is bubbling away. I assume it must be the temperature. Last time was 65 degrees. Now we have 100s outside, and in the cool location where I have...

Hi. All of my chillies are suddenly being infested by fruit flies. They are not on the plants but in the pots. I tried a trap filled with wine/orange juice, dish wash liquid, but it does not seem to work. Also tried a piece of apple, just to see if it would attract them, but nothing. They prefer...

I have something strange happening this year, and I was wondering if others have already seen this. All the chillies which I overwintered are in full bloom, notwithstanding that I keep them at 65 degrees (18 C), at still only about 12 hours of day light. It started with the chinense a couple of...

Im am this year running into big problems in germinating my seeds. I started about 150 chiles, and every year I simply place them near a heater, and they come up within a week. As this year we had a pretty cold winter, I waited longer than normally before seeding. About one quarter opened their...

I read some posts of people that freeze the seeds before planting, and I was wondering if this really works. I had lost my Datils, and today, found them back in the freezer. Will those seeds still germinate?

Recently I posted a question regarding the fermentation in a mash, and now, had to give it a try. For the composition of the mash, I did however base myself a bit on an interesting article regarding Fermented Sriracha...
