    seeds Best source for large Jalapeno seeds?

    I've been looking for a new source for Large Jalapenos. I used to get them from pepperlover.com, but I got sick of them turning out to be something besides what I bought. Last year almost half of my plants turned out to be some kinda of Poblano looking peppers, not Jalapenos. So I bought seeds...

    My apologies to Chocolate Habaneros.

    From the heart;   Dear Chocolate Habs, I owe you a huge apology. When I started your seeds you were always going to be my back-up player, always my second best. You weren't going to be my hottest, growing next to my "trendy" Douglah's, and Moruga Blends. You weren't going to be awed as the...

    This looks weird for a Chocolate Hab...

    I had to pick a bunch before the freeze a couple weeks ago, so it wasn't totally ripe yet. But it appears to have a tail on it, like a Scorpion. I had quite a few of my Habs look similar to this one this year. Anyone else?

    condiment Thanks Salsalady, and everyone else!!!

    Well, this year I started learning how to make sauces. Last year all I did was dehydrate all my peppers, and occasionally threw some in some salsa, or pickles. I learned a lot from Salsalady, and the others here that post their recipes. I ended up with about 12 different kinds, 8 of which are...

    Do your sauces seperate?

    I made 6 bottles of a Moruga Blend hot sauce, and just noticed the next day, that the sauce had separated, with about an inch of clear liquid at the top. I only used peppers, vinegar, garlic, and salt. I know everything is clean, and ph stable. what could have caused this?

    I'm not sure what it is yet. But it doesn't look like a Douglah.   Another shot of the same pepper, a few days ago:     And the whole plant (which is about 2.5 feet tall):     So... what's everyone think?

    pics My first attempt at AACT, with pics!!

    ok, so after reading the huge thread on AACT, I decided that I needed to make some for my garden. I filled up four 5 gallon buckets with 4 gallons, then one more bucket with 5 gallons. I got my paint strainer and put in 2 cups worm castings, 1/2 cup seabird guano, 1 tbs fish emulsion, 1 tbs kelp...

    If I take water from my rainbarrels, which is loaded with algae, will it mess up my attempts at an AACT?

    Mystery Purple Pepper? Update 6/20

    So, I got most of my seeds from www.pepperlover.com last year. This plant sprouted quicker than any of them, and grew real tall, lanky and purple. I topped it early to make it bushier. It was in with my Giant Jalapeno seeds, and it looks slightly like a Jalapeno, but different. What's your...

    Thoughts on Actinovate? Leaf spot problems....

    My local indoor garden store recommended Actinovate for my grey mildew I got on my zucchinis last year. I used it, and it seemed to slow it down, but they were too far gone to save, and eventually they all croaked. I'm having some rust colored brown spots that are on a lot of my peppers, some of...

    water Need large rainbarrel advice (water pumps)

    So I have two 275 gallon rainbarrels that are almost full, and I need to figure out how big a pump I need to get it out to my garden. They are 50 feet away from the garden, with a slight upslope towards the garden. To make the spigot even with my garden, I would have to have the barrels probably...
