Drought resistance in habaneros would be a good word problem for a bio class. Textbook example or recessive traits. Gonna bring it up tomorrow, after I repot the special ones.
BSPH, what's in the powder? I get a hint of butch T, but others tasted something else. Funny anecdote about it coming in a bit. And no, I didn't trick anyone with it.
You would think, that when a pepper has a new branch forming and the rest of it is cut back, it would use the growing branch to regenerate. Nope. It grows an entirely new branch in a new spot, thus rendering this ANOTHER season it hasn't grown any pods.
Should I order starter plants from fordsfieryfoods or seeds from refiningfire? Duffy would sell me peter peppers, but I can get brazilian ghost and caramel moruga from Ford.
Inverse law of pepper fertility: Plant 3 seeds of each kind, knowing of high germ rates and nothing grows. If on the other hand, you plant 50 of each and hope not many grow so you have room, and everything grows.
Fun fact for all of you who didn't know: A carolina reaper plant is capable of supporting fifteen to sixteen pounds of dirt from a stem 3/4 inch across. Best not to ask how I found this out, or why big plants are harder to repot than smaller ones.
My white hab seems awfully slow to the party. I had to prune it back last month because of spotting, and it just now realized that even though the room was a constant 60 and it was getting constant water that it wasn't supposed to fall asleep.
Apparently, a bunch of Africanized bees went on a rampage. Then the survivors where taken to a farm. What's stopping them from doing it again there? It;s not like moving to a new hive makes them European bees..
