    Where can I get a case of bottles in Canada?

    I've been looking at a bunch of sites that are US based, which means that I would have to pay crazy shipping fees. Is there a site or store that can offer a reasonably priced case of hot sauce/woozy bottles without the crazy shipping for Canadians? (I only need one case)

    Does anyone know the difference in flavour between Scotch Bonnet and Jamaican Yellow peppers?

    I'm trying to decide which one to grow next year, but I have no idea how they taste. I might just pick the Jamaican Yellow because of it's shorter days to maturity.   Scotch Bonnet: ...

    overwintering Should I let my plants produce fruit during overwintering?

    I'm wondering if I should keep picking off the flowers of my plants while they are inside over winter?   Right now I have 2 "32 watt T8 48 inch Daylight" fluorescent bulbs over my plants. Is that enough light to support fruit, or will my plants struggle?   Also, will my plants continue to grow...

    New cayenne pods are turning orange while being a cm long...

    The new wave of pods on my cayenne plant are turning orange starting from bottom to top. They are so tiny, so I assume that there is a problem. What is going on here?                    Also, the new growth on my cayenne plant is looking unhealthy. It looks like it's drying up and shrivelling...

    What can I do with fallen rose petals?

    I have a ton of rose petals that I collect from my flowers after they fall off. Is it possible to add these to food dishes? Or is it possible to just let them dry out and leave them in a bowl around my home?

    water Is it ok to water in the middle of a really hot day?

    Its about 32 Celsius today and my plant's leaves are wilting/drooping. I've moved them into the shade for now. I heard that it's a bad idea to water during the day. Is that true?

    seeds Can I use seeds from my own plants to grow more next year?

    I was wondering if I could use seeds from peppers grown this year in order to grow more plants for next year. Or should I just buy new seeds each year from the store?   If this is viable, then how can I store the seeds properly for next year?

    water can plants die if they are overwatered?

    I had to leave my plants outside after about 24 hours of decent rainfall. Is this enough to ruin them? We also had a little rain 3 days ago. So far they seem fine, but I'm not sure about the long run.

    I have a lot of topsoil that will arrive at my house next week. I was wondering if there was a way to use some of that topsoil in my planting containers? Is that possible? And how would I do it?

    How exactly do I create supports for my plants?

    My plants have been through a really windy day, and now they are all leaning over dramatically. I am worried that the stems or branches will snap if I don't get them supported for the next windy day.   Am I suppose to just get some bamboo/wood/metal stakes and put those beside my plants and tie...

    I think one of my plants is dead or dying. Help!

    20 days ago I made this post: http://thehotpepper.com/topic/39046-one-of-my-plants-is-limp-and-floppy-during-hardening-off-process/ As you can see from my other post that my California Wonder plant on the left was floppy and weak after 2 days of hardening off.
