Ever dipped TP in a wee glass of milk?

Gargling half and half over the kitchen sink and cursing vociferously is my preferred method.

Going by the name, I'd guess that you've got yourself a red roasting pepper. So it'll probably be decently mild, pick when they're red and then fire roast their skins off and put 'em in whatever you like. I'd say get some toasted hazelnuts, a couple tomatoes and some oregano and make yourself...

http://www.youtube.com/user/TheHippySeedCompany#p/u If you look through Neil's channel, he eats several varieties of Scorpion including a couple vids of the Butch T. That'll give you a few looks at the different pod types along with his descriptions of it's fruitiness burning the back of his...

http://www.thehotpepper.com/topic/22746-fresh-trinidad-scorpion-pods/ Dunno if they're Butch T variety, but AJ is selling 'em by the pound.

If you keep your eye on the Marketplace area of the forums, alot of folks will have fresh pods available for sale, if you'd like to try a few varieties for taste. And I find X-mas is the perfect time to show friends and family Niel's website and hint at what varieties would be the most fun to...

Lookin good Logs! My babies are just settling in for some pod production with this nicely cooler weather. The aji lemons are goin crazy and the Bondas are producing ok. But I've got one nagabon just draped with unripe pods. The rest of the supers are just starting to put on pods now. Just...

I just had a few Bondas and Ajis ripen up and I was overjoyed at the sweet, fruity flavors. The Bondas were a bit sweeter and MUCH hotter than the Ajis, with a really nifty tutti frutti flavor that rapidly gives way to the heat.

If you're in Fresno, you can check out Vallarta supermarket on Dakota and Cedar. They'll have Habaneros and Manzanos usually. And R&N Market on Cedar and Herndon will usually have Habs and a selection of Asian hot peppers. Nobody short of THP members in the area are growing superhots that I'm...

I just took scissors and snipped out four vertical pie wedges around the bottom rim. It has worked awesome so far and the cups are mostly re-useable.

They're doing pretty good. I think my larger 4 are struggling because they're getting full sun all day. Funny though how their leaves are a bit pekid yet they're producing fairly well.

The Nagabon The Professor and Maryanne!! Here on Pookigans Island!

Been a while since the last update. Wasn't a heckuvalot to show except a bit of veg growth and a bit of blossom drop. But now that Cali has gone from warm to frying pan (blowtorch comes in July-August), a few varieties have been setting pods. Mostly the peters, aji lemons and bonda ma jaques...

Ajis and Bondas

I'd make sure your clones have a decent set of roots and a shady spot to grow in. You're totally right about the double season for peppers here in the Armpit of CA. But you'd be starting them at the beginning of the hottest part of the year, so they'll need to be hardy or babied a little to...

The mat/box/themostat on Amazon will run about $60. During winter I got mine for about $40 total. It's like buying ski gear during the summer. :)

I've had a few pods that started growing vertically, but as the pod matured and gained weight the stem started to curl down towards the ground. I'd bet at least with the bell, that'll happen. The scotch bonnets look pretty awesome though, the way they're popping up right in the split of the...

You should still be fine for a September-October harvest. Depending on which section of the coast you're on, it should stay plenty nice enough for pod production. Good luck!

Your best bet is to get a thermometer and check the temp of your soil. You can get a little cheapy meat therm for about $5 or a decent digital for about $15. Your goal temp being around 84 degrees. If it's staying too warm, use a small fan to augment the airflow the holes provide. Or you can...

Your mix is way too hot for your weiner pods. Get it outta there and switch to a larger pot and some (ANY!) potting mix. In my experience, the peters aren't terribly needy and too much fertlizer will stress the crap out of them. If you can keep it in shade during the worst part of the day...
