Glogs

Yep, I'm going to take a stab at resurging my passion. Only 40 starts this year, and that may be ambitious for the space I'm allotted, but compared to the TWO I grew last year? Way. So this year I'm doing the GIP Serrano Magic Powder again. Some of the farmers in Pueblo are growing some limited numbers of Serrano, so I may be able to augment to the 7 plants I'm doing myself. I had great aspirations to ship out some of that to a number of you guys, but somehow I dumbthumbed my address lists out of existence on the PC. I apologize and intend to follow through this year. I'll have the Rocoto/chokecherry jelly coming out my ears again, though I've got batches stored from previous seasons and plenty Aji Oro and chokecherries frozen to make...

According to the Urban Dictionnary, the word "unexpectational" refers to the active state of not having any expectations... In 2020, I grew a single Devil’s Rib plant, a habanero relative coming from Ghana. To be completely honest, it was without much expectation as I’m not really a big habanero fan! Our summer was exceptional that year so the plant grew very healthy and reached massive proportions. It gave me a shitload of pods averaging 20 grams each, with some weighing just over 25 grams. They were tasty and quite hot too, somewhere between the alleged 414 000 SHU and Ghost pepper level I’d say. At the end of the season I was quite happy I decided to grow it! As usual, I kept seeds from the nicest pods and planted about 30 last...

I really wanted to try out writing a glog and hope that you find it interesting to follow. I have some jalapenos, naga morich and bunch of hainan yellow lantern growing at the moment. I plan to mature the jalapenos in the tent and for the rest - i wish i can already move to grow outside on the balcony in month or two. The biggest two in the picture are jalapenos. Naga morich is the medium sized one and hainan yellow lanterns are those two seedlings. I have also more seedlings of hainan in the tent as well, but these can't be seen on these pictures. I'm also considering sprouting some seeds for more seedlings, but I'm having difficult time choosing which variety to choose. I have seeds from the following chilies: Kongo Brown Fatalii...

This will be my first big foray in to pepper growing because of these two. Jasper (left) and Tin Tin (right) are my official taste testers. I myself have a fairly poor spice tolerance, tabasco is spicy for me but frank's red hot isn't so I'm working on it! The rest of my family have tolerance and my partner also appreciates spice so all is not lost, however. So far the lineup is: Annuum: Espelette (sourced from a chef friend, the lines go back to the French Laundry chef's gardens in California and prior to that were smuggled out of France - I have 200 of these I'm willing to share while keeping my own stock too!) Chile de Comida Ancho Bola Hawk's Claw El Incendo Fish Grandpa's Siberian Home Mystery Hot (hot is relative, 1000-5000...

Hey folks, this dedicated thread will be all about growing the 7 Pot Savannah in honor of the late Dustin Jain/Nagacanario. According to his brother Christopher, he was not only a true pepper enthusiast but also an avid fisherman! Photo courtesy of Christopher Jain The following is a copy-paste from the thread that started it all back in 2021 (by @Guitarman), a summary of the character and his pepper: "He got his nickname from two of the things he loved the most: growing peppers and Presa Canario breed dogs. Some of us talked about keeping his memory alive back this year by letting people know about his creations and grow them, but it never happened. Dustin was from Savannah, GA and almost 10 years ago started selecting pods from an...

Well another year and weather not looking good, Will see what Happens. Red Scotch Bonnets Kung Pao Bulgarian Carrot Yellow Cayenne Habaneros have not show face yet.

Just starting this glog now so it's one less thing to do in a few months when I'm knee deep in compost and getting things in the ground.   Not much to report at the moment. Strains yet to be determined, but I'll probably end up growing too many like always...lol     Only thing that's going on right now is a clean back patio and the chickens doing their part turning over my compost pile on the daily. Intersted in seeing how the soil microbes appreciate the added chicken poop!       Hope everyone has had a decent winter so far and here's to happy germination!         EDIT UPDATE: This glog has turned into an ongoing overwintering, greenhouse and soil building how-to!

what up pepper peeps? your boy growyourown here with a bold proclamation: i challenged myself to try to grow all the five major pepper species for the first time; wish me luck! (and give me advice, i could use it) to begin, let's forget what i did last year. (just like i said last year) doing the big five became the goal because there are so many pepper types and flavours i have not experienced before, and that by working within those parameters for this year, i have a chance to grow and discover types of peppers which are mild enough that my wife may also enjoy. (she taps out at habanero heat, but said she'd try the 20-30k range, hoping she might step up to 50k) let's take a look at what we got going on: BACCATUM Aji Cito – 50k...

This GLOG will be dedicated to some hybrids of interest that have emerged from my pepper garden since 2020. I plan to follow them at least until F3 to see if they are worth it. Please note that no seeds will be shared at this time. Let's grow! *DRx GLOG

Hopefully, I’ll keep up with this GLOG this year, unlike the previous few years. I didn’t do one last year but, I think my GLOG (if you can even call it that) from 2021 was literally ONE post :lol: I’ve been working 50-72 hour weeks for the last 2 years (6 days a week), but now I’m back to working 40 hours, like a gentleman… for now :rofl: Anyway, I’m going to start with that pic 👆🏻 from a few years ago (rather than a crappy pic of seedlings under lights) since that’ll be the pic on the “GLOGS” home page, lol. If all goes according to plan, my backyard should look like that again this Summer :) On to 2023… I dug through my old seed stash, sowed a bunch of seeds last week, and they all started popping a few days ago: •Reaper SRTSL...

Hello to all TheHotPepper Today I decided to start a few peppers to find out if they will fruit indoors. Sown today Sweet Banana, Fire Cracker Ornamental, and Sweet Datil and seeds from the crushed red pepper spice bottle. On order Hungarian Hot Wax and Chiltepin. I'm unsure if there will be enough space to grow these peppers to full size but it's just for fun anyways.

Ghost, Propst Arena, Huntsville, AL, Sept. 2, 2022. Papa Emeritus IV and the Ghouls performing Year Zero. My 5th "ritual" as their performances are called. My daughter was right up front at the railing and took this photo... I was up a ways in a nice actual seat. Well, another season is beginning. We have had a bit of a rough time here since last year. We had a sudden, unexpected death in the family last summer that made the rest of the season unimportant, so my postings dropped off. I found out a couple of weeks ago I need hip replacement surgery... it's not bad or anything like that right now, so I am going to do it this fall so I can rehab over the off-season. I refuse at my age to have a year not growing anything at all. I'm...

I want to start off by saying I'm excited to be trying my hand at growing peppers again. This is the first time I'm doing any gardening aside from growing some countertop kitchen herbs in the last 8 or so years. Anyway, I picked up a bunch of seeds from Texas Hot Peppers on Black Friday (fantastic sale), way more than I needed for myself. So I'll be starting seedlings and giving them away to friends and family as I decide what I want to keep in my garden this year. I'll add a post to the glog with the list later once I start prepping plants for what will be going outside, but for now, I'm just growing a few plants for indoors. Equipment info if anyone is interested: Spider Farmer SF1000Dv2? v3? Has a dimmer knob and uneven led...

Here we go again... In fall, I got some seeds from SineNomine and decided to try and grow all of them and also a few from my previous season. PaulG also sent me seeds but the envelope stuck somewhere on the way. A shame for those nice seeds but let's hope they are growing somewhere else :) Planted them on 2nd Feb. Here's the list: Tasmanian Black (from PaulG via SineNomine) Trippaul Threat (from PaulG via SineNomine) Purple Thunder (from PaulG via SineNomine) Pimienta Puta la madre (from SineNomine) Papa Joe's Scotch Bonnet (from SineNomine) Papa Dreadie Scotch Bonnet (from SineNomine) Fatalii (from SineNomine) Aji Jobito (from SineNomine) Red Savina Habanero (s. 2022) Chocolate Habanero (s. 2021) Calita Red Habanero (s. 2022)...

I will try to document my pepper garden from this year here. I am not very good at reminding to take photos, but i hope i will have enough to post. I sown the first seeds on January 7 , i had some very old seeds, some were older than 6-7 years... The only ones that germinated were: - Habanero red - Chiltepin - Aji Chiripita - Carolina Reaper - one Rocoto that i don't know what variety it is, but to me it tastes like figs... On january 20 i got some seeds from Sinenomine but i only planted Fatalli and Tepin x Lemon Drop until now, i will be planting some more soon (the varieties that doesn't need a very long growing season). Two days ago i got the envelope with the seeds from Semillas.de (ordered around january 10...) and sown as...
