I've just been to a town in the Peruvian amazon jungle and found a curious looking yellow hot pepper that I had never seen before. They are yellow wrinkled unpredictable shaped about 1/2" to 3/4" long and about 1/3" -1/2" wide. I found in the Belén market, where the lady wrote down the name as...

There seems to be some disease on specifically the three seedlings I sowed in soil from the garden. It's not having a big impact on them, but is noticable, I don't want it to spread to the others, want to know what it is and if I can sort it out?   There is some chlorophyl loss on the leaf where...

London is f***ing awesome when it comes to buying chillies. Bought these on whitechapel road market today. All £1 a bag! So that's $1.50 each. The naga morich's are from bangladesh and the habaneros are from Uganda. The question is, how do I make best use of these lovely chillies? I'll have to...

For people to see and believe! Almost 10kg of Nagas picked from 1 plant! Grown in the UK of all places! Over 2400 chillies on the beast, grown in 1 season. It's true then, it's all in the soil! The growers at Seaspring seeds really are pros! http://youtu.be/0Bm93RBvMfc

However now I have a bit of experience, I have high hopes...

I'm having a problem with my seedlings. After they germinate, their growth slowed down tremendously. I pulled a couple up that never quite got their hooks up and discovered that their roots are stunted, as in there is barely any root to them at all. I know from experience that at the beginning...

Hi, I'm growing a number of chinense varieties and need to put them outside as they simply won't fit inside anymore (and are growing leggy an inconsistently anyway). Does anyone have experience with this? Can I get away with growing them outside without a greenhouse as I can't set one up in the...

I've got an itch to grow another superhot this year; but intend to actually eat it and am limited on space, so I want to know what the best tasting superhots are, that is if you can taste anything through the burn. Some description of aroma, flavour profile and what they go well with is all...

I've been growing 14 different varieties of chillies in close proximity under fluorescent lights and have noticed that there is some disease on a number of them. However, interestingly, my twilight chillies and cayenne seem the worst affected, this also includes bishop's hat and scotch bonnet's...
