Hello I'm having seemingly good luck this year (UK), and have already harvested maybe 15-20 huge Hangjiao 4/Comet's Tail, and maybe 12-18 Early Jalapeno peppers. I think I possibly started too soon for my location (sowed most seeds on New Years Eve half drunk), but used a heater in my...

Hi, everyone,   I tried to look into the oddity I have on my own, but I'm guessing I don't know the correct terminology, as my search ended up with the majority talking about purple stems. Maybe they are connected, but I figured go to the experts. Here's a few images to visualize what I'm taking...

Hi, everyone.   I was wondering if you guys might be able to recommend a few books (good reads) with regards to chili and pepper plants in general. I'm not so much talking about how to grow them (although that may be some aspect of the book), but rather things like the histories of various chili...

Hi folks,   My apologies for not getting back to you earlier. Sad things happened in my world and, well I was distracted for some time. I'm not a social media narcissist so I don't feel like "sharing". :(   At the time I posted my question, I took the advice given. I tried wetting my fingers and...

Wow, these forums just get better and better for the infidel like me. I've been digging in, searching and reading for months. This thread never popped up. I feel the search function algorithm needs some tweaking. I care nothing for the social media wankery. But, the next time I drop a knife into...

I'm not an expert, but I touched myself when I looked at the pictures.  ;)   Question: What would be the average price an Aussie pays for a 10 gallon plastic bucket, fancy molded designs aside?

Hello,   I've been refraining from asking questions, and instead reading through all the posts in the "stickies". It's become my version of reading Tolstoy's War and Peace, but with more characters, tangents, funny one liners; and less plot. So far, I haven't come across any talk of the problem...

  I would say cucamelons are certainly worth a try. Here in the UK, our weather is usually all over the place. I dropped three in a bed in the greenhouse, and they needed some training and goading as they do tend to take over. I also popped a few outside and they were much slower to gain yields...

  Thanks for the encouragement. Your user name is kind of melded with my learning at this point.Everything I have read.   I did forget. Yes, one lime, and one cup (I'm Uk and kinda worked out one cup US is one of my bowls up to the top pattern ring, if that makes sense) of vinegar and half a cup...

Thank you all for your suggestions. My apologies for the late reply, but it occurred to me that I didn't actually know the flavor or heat of any of the peppers I have grown (newb first season and all), so I waited. I've been harvesting for other trials and scoffing, but today I finally built up...

Oh, I get it now. This is the sub-forum where users post pornographic images that make me feel hungry, but at the same time a little moist and dirty... and then moist again. I don't have a web cam, so you can't see me licking the screen. Oh, wait... -_-

  I'm... I mean... the way it... that huge ass lone tomato... as an artist, that is aesthetically perfect... rule of thirds (doesn't always apply, but damn is it on the money right there)... and the... oh, God... the drip of condiment.... the money shot with regards to this particular photo...

Hello, the perennial "noob" here, not the annual type.   I've been mostly reading as much as I can on these forums since late last year. All initial questions I had about my virgin foray into growing chili plants were answered just by reading, in one way or another. One that was not was trying...

Erm...   My apologies for my very late reply. I've just responed to the obligatory "welcome" post that I had to do, and rather than rehash here, I'll just say my lateness involves two dead guys that nobody gave a funk about, and funerals durining the current trend. But that aside...      ...

My apologies for the very late appreciation to the warm response. Turned out that two massive arseholes from extended family died (non covid) almost back to back, and everyone was kinda pissed, because even though they were absolute self destructive bastids that have caused so much crap over the...
