thanks!

i was putting mouse poison blocks within their holes and along the retaining wall (where i've seen them scurrying) but apparently they aren't harmed much...:/ i will look into that glue trap

i have these mice, that i'm trying to kill, that are making paths under the mulch, i'm suspecting they are eating some of my plants, earlier i had a missing sunflower (when it was little) now, i have a dying pineapple tomatillo plant next to a suspicious hole leading under the mulch.

i've always feed my babies the food we were eating (no jarred baby foods or purees) they never had an issue with spiciness and knew when enough was enough and how to handle it. (plus i also nursed them and i always ate hot and spicy foods, that may have something to do with them being used to it...

roses :( i refuse to use chemicals, and i haven't found a perfect spot for them. i will win... one day, even it it take my whole life and a new house/yard

okay, so there may be a new twist i didn't think about until yesterday while in my garden. there are mice trying to live in my garden. they have built tunnels under the mulch, through this certain patch of peppers that are having this BER problem. (they are trying to be gotten rid of, but they...

this looks awesome, i'm growing carribean reds (i think i have at least 6 plants) so i will definitely give this a try!

well, i will admit, it could be over watering, as due to this drought i'm over zealous to keep my plants alive, i've also got a nice thick layer of mulch and i put the hose right under it to make sure none of the water gets "wasted" sitting on top evaporating.. i'll cut back on some watering and...

well, i can't remember what i planted there last year... it may have been peas though, maybe. it is my pepperonicni, and some on my sweet antigua, which are in the same area, my hot peppers are just now forming blossoms, so i don't know about those yet. it's an in ground bed, i started them from...

i added composted manure about 2 weeks before i planted. i also did a cheapy 4 dollar ph test and did attempt to amend but then never got around to checking again. and one of my plants is getting sun scald, which i'm trying to remember to place a lawn chair to block the late afternoon sun, when...

okay, good, i'll go take some pictures! i love taking pictures of my gardens anyway :P

so, we want to add some peppers to our beer, if it's added to the boil, will it just be more for flavor vs spice? and it's it's added to the secondary will it be more for the spiciness? oh and for 5 gal. what would be too much spice for a beer? (like say, one habenaro in secondary is too much...

so my peppers are growing great. but they do have some blossom end rot, i keep adding egg shell under the mulch and either spray epsom salts or just put it under the mulch then water... but how much blossom rot is to be expected? i feel like it's too much, at least for me. i'm in ohio and the...

all my peppers came from heirloom seeds, and i've got about 6 sweet antigua, 6 pepperoncinis 9 carribean red hot 9 jamacian hot chocolate i didn't label anything this year, i figured it i just plant hot with hot and sweet with sweet it'd be good enough. so everything is approximate. i do have...

next time i will spell check before hitting enter :P
