So after a few years of trying to grow peppers here in South Africa i quit at the start of this year as I was told i'ts not recommended I eat them anymore because I have a massive hernia...   So I put all my plants from last year (none of them produced anything except the Chocolate Bhut Jolokia)...

The sauce ive been making seems to change flavour over time. Now I realise this is a kind of given as the sauce can age as say a wine does but the change is quite drastic.   Is it possibly the veg/fruit being added is fermenting or something? Carrots etc.   Is there a way to preserve the...

I recently purchased some seeds + dry pods. It was mentioned I shouldnt try using the dried pod seeds for growing. Why is this?

Anyone know this pepper? I know someone who recently visited Nepal and has brought these back. Seems like some Hab variant? This person says they are incredibly hot?   https://chattingchutnees.wordpress.com/tag/dalle-khursani/  ...

Ive tried making Habanero sauce 2 different ways and there always seems to be a slightly bitter after-taste. The habs seem to have their own slight bitterness when eaten fresh but it seems more prominent in the sauce. I tried the cooked version thinking it may stop the bitterness and it did...

  The Habs are there for size comparison and colour.   1) Plant was sold to me as Dorset Naga. Seems like it could be correct? Just the heat isnt there but being in the Southern Hemisphere we are going into winter so ive been told this can affect the heat and obviously being a first timer grower...

I see theres a few factors that can influence the heat of my pods and most that ive picked so far have been dissapointing as I was expecting loads more kick.   So my question is will the seeds from these pods produce an inferior plant? Or would the heat be correct for the next generation?

My chocolate habanero has produced 7 pods. This is its first batch. Initially the pods were growing fast while they were green but as time went they slowed down.   About 2 weeks ago they changed colour to brown and seem to have "stopped" growing. I picked 1 to taste and check the heat and they...

Im based in South Africa Johannesburg and im looking to import some seeds. Who could help?   Im looking for all the heat top runners. Moruga, Bhut Jolokia, 7 Pot, Trinidad Scorpion, Carolina Reaper, Chocolate Bhutlah (is this available yet? saw F.B.I eating 1).   Total noob here regarding SASBE...

I have a forest of seedlings in my garden from throwing a few seeds out. I started to transplant these healthy seedlings to pots and the next day theyre almost dead. I felt I gave sufficient water but are there rules to follow with a transplant? Like leave out plant food or seamungus at first...

I recently purchased a new plant and it seems to be deteriorating. The leaves are wilting and turning light green. I always understood light green leaves at the base of the plant moving up meant over-watering but is this true?   Now that ive cut back on the water it just seems worse? Is the...

Im new to the chilli growing thing and being on the end of the world makes it hard to find local info regarding foreign plants. Ive been buying some plants from a nursery in South Africa. Now that these plants are starting to bear fruit im confused.   Either the gardner has mixed seeds up or she...
