  • is it possible to over dehydrate peppers? Do you pretty much take them out once the "shiney" is gone?

    I don't take them out until they're DRY. They aren't pliable at that point, and fairly easily crumble if you squish them between your fingers.
    buying seeds is addicting. I currently have around 60 varieties for to choose from for next season. But i only have room for about 50 plants lol.
    tasted my first mucho nacho jalapeno yesterday. Delicious! and proof that chile's do grow on the foggy northern california coast!
    go forth army of ladybugs, and lay waste to the squishies who would keep us from the bounty of kings!!!
    the magic of a greenhouse! Jalopeno, Anaheim, and Serrano plants have set fruit. Even in 50-60f and total fog.
    So you spent two nights in a hospital after having a kid, and you come home to find you now have over 75 sprouts!

    I saw a thread talking about if there's a huge difference between 7 pods and scrops and now I can't find it...
