    Cherry pepper suggestion?

    Those cherry peppers from SouthernExposure look amazing! Buuut, looks like they're having trouble keeping up with demand -- the website wouldn't let me place an order. Hopefully I can find a window of opportunity.

    Cherry pepper suggestion?

    Now I'm going to have to grow these, too!

    Cherry pepper suggestion?

    My daughter has grown super fond of Mezzetta sweet pickled cherry peppers we find at the grocery store, and I'm trying to replicate these in my garden. Last season I grew something labelled "sweet cherry pepper", and another labelled "pimiento", but neither of them turned out anything like what...

    Epsom Salts question

      heh, sorry if I offended, wasn't my intention, just being silly.  Although really, where else would urea be available to the average gardener?  I don't think my local garden center carries it!

    choco reaper?

    So as an outdoor grower, would I do this near the end of the growing season? I'm considering either this, or just overwintering the plants I really like.

    choco reaper?

    The glue idea is especially interesting, super cheap and simple.  Found this link on the thread you cited, will leave it here for posterity:   https://growingfoodsavingseeds.blogspot.com/2016/06/gluing-chilli-flowers-way-to-save-pure.html   Has anyone here actually tried this?

    choco reaper?

      Oh, not at all.  Sorry, I didn't mean to imply it was bad advice, just that cross-pollination had already been an issue that was on my mind.   I love the idea of saving seeds and growing the same peppers again and again, but I want to avoid having the phenotypes "wandering" after a few...

    August 20th National Radio Day...CQ CQ CQ

      My brain somehow managed to read this as, "Same for the rottweillers and lawnmowers."  I thought, well that's clever, spare parts for the dog!!!   It's sad cw is no longer in active use by any organizations other than amateur radio enthusiasts.  Even the military no longer trains anyone to use...

    I.D These "Reapers" please?

    Just stumbled upon this thread, indeed those look exactly like mine!  OP, did you get yours from a certain Frank in town?

    choco reaper?

      Funny, reading this I immediately thought, "Thaaat's what these peppers taste like.  Battery acid!"

    choco reaper?

      This feels very confounding to me as a newb, and almost makes me not want to save any seeds from what I've grown this year.  Everything I'm currently growing -- santaka, habs, bhuts, and this reaper-ish thing -- have been growing directly next to each other, leaves touching and all.  I suppose...

    choco reaper?

    These are coming along nicely!  Definitely not chocolate, though.  :)

    "Reaper" from a local nursery

      Thank you for your generosity!  I've actually gotten a couple of offers already -- this place is really great!   When I look at your photo, I have this weird feeling in the back of my mind, like I am seeing into my own future.  :D

    choco reaper?

      Thanks!  Indeed, I'm a wee bit frightened for when they're truly ripe.  Is that . . . normal?  To be terrified, yet eager to do it still?  lol   And speaking of which, one single pod has finally started darkening!!!
