I just purchased the Mexican Rocoto seeds from pepperlover.com. Great pics. How big did your plants get, and how much do you think you will harvest off of one plant? I'm planning my garden layout for next year, and I figured a couple of these next to my Giant Jalapeno plants would do good.

thanks everyone! some of my sauces turned out to be total shit, but most ended up ok. I've got a huge jump on next year's sauces, and will be able to fine tune my recipes to make about 6 different kinds of sauces. I'm also going to start making BBQ sauce next year as well.

anyone know where to get these? some of the sites I've found seem to charge a lot for shipping. the wife wants me to grow some next year so i'm shopping around. thanks for any info. . .

pepperlover.com, and they all ripened up like chocolate habs. some of them just had weird shapes like this one.

I had to pick a bunch before the freeze a couple weeks ago, so it wasn't totally ripe yet. But it appears to have a tail on it, like a Scorpion. I had quite a few of my Habs look similar to this one this year. Anyone else?

Well, this year I started learning how to make sauces. Last year all I did was dehydrate all my peppers, and occasionally threw some in some salsa, or pickles. I learned a lot from Salsalady, and the others here that post their recipes. I ended up with about 12 different kinds, 8 of which are...

cool, I did add some extra vinegar before the last boiling. I wanted to get an even 6 bottles from it. I thought it might be the capsaicin oil that didn't mix with the sauce.

I made 6 bottles of a Moruga Blend hot sauce, and just noticed the next day, that the sauce had separated, with about an inch of clear liquid at the top. I only used peppers, vinegar, garlic, and salt. I know everything is clean, and ph stable. what could have caused this?

i would guess from the amount of ingredients, at least 2 quarts, 4 cups of vinegar is a quart, and you probably have at least 4 more cups of everything else.

hmm, I do have two 275 gallon full rainbarrels back by the garden, maybe I will just soak them down the nights that will be really chilly. . .

so, out in my garden, there's about 15 plants left, douglahs, scorpions moruga, chocolate habs, ghosts, etc. with a million green pods, it's supposed to get down to 32 a couple times next week. if I cover the entire area with a tarp at night, do you think I will get them to ripen up some more...

Thanks Salsalady. I made 4 batches of sauce this year. The first one used about 14 Chocolate Habs and I made 4 bottles of it. The second batch used the same amount of peppers but I made 13 bottles with it. The third batch was similar to the second. And the 4th batch I made 12 bottles but used a...

I typically use horse manure in the fall and let it breakdown all winter and spring. There's a horse boarding farm less than a half mile away, and I take 5 gallon buckets there and get it for free. I usually dig from the bottom of the pile too, to get the older stuff. This year a woman I work...

I forgot to add that I added a whole cup of vinegar to the mixture as well, sorry. The sauce turned out really well. I wanted something that other people would like as well. With all my sauces I've been making this year, this last one was the best. I try to stick to the whole cup of vinegar (or...

I made up a hot sauce today with 1.5 cans of tomato puree (about 40 oz), the juice from 6 limes (half cup), two tablespoons of minced garlic, a tablespoon of kosher salt. I also added about 15 Red Ghosts, 6 Douglahs, and 2 Trinidad Scorpions, and a medium onion. I smoked all the peppers and...

After looking around the net and here, it seems baker creek is one of the best. thanks for the input.

I'm wanting to start my own tomatoes next year, as well as zucchini, cucumbers, bell peppers, pepperoncini, and bush + pole beans. I get all of my hot peppers from pepperlover.com, so those are covered already.

browning, I ordered all my seeds from www.pepperlover.com. I had a lot of fun with the Giant Jalapenos last year. Mine grew really well, with huge peppers on all of them. My only regret this year is not making any hot sauces yet, or smoking any peppers yet. I better get on the ball if I want to...

hey joyner, what did you like, or do like about those two kinds? I'm sure you've grown both before. . .

So I ordered my seeds for next years crops. This year I did Trinidad Scorpions Moruga Blend, Trinidad Douglah, Chocolate Habaneros, Giant Jalapeno, Purple Cayenne, Orange Ghost, and Red Ghost. I ordered more Giant Jalapeno, Trinidad Scorpion Butch T, and White Bhut's, but I also go for free...
