Wine vinegar. I put dried peppers in a coffee grinder and mixed them in vinegar and put them in the fridge. The taste was too strong so I still needed to mix the peppers into something else and the wine vinegar tasted funny. It was cause for some regret. Now I grind up ghost peppers and add them...

We already know that you are a talented gardener, and I bet you could make a really effective extract.  

Recently I keep reading about wild lettuce for pain.   https://www.anniesremedy.com/lactuca-virosa-wild-lettuce.php   It is supposed to be a common weed, but for identification purposes, I would feel more comfortable buying seed packets.

The thing that makes a superhot different from jalapeños and habaneros is that every part of the pod has capsaicin. The trick is to try just the tiniest amount you can. When fresh ghost peppers showed up at the grocery store I cut off a very tiny slice and put it in my mouth, not knowing if I...

I'm waiting for my ghosts to ripen, too. They got to be bigger, but they are staying green. It is hard to wait for them. I have a friend I plan to share with when they are ready.  

So just one pepper is enough to cause trouble in an entire load of laundry? I would never have guessed.  

That sounds likely, but where are you going to get pure Vitamin C?   I have eaten Vitamin C pills that were not intended to be chewable, and the flavor was stronger. Still, there are always extra ingredients in pills.  

Epsom salt in your water helps to encourage more flowers. It is one of the few things I have learned about growing peppers so far, and one of my favorites. It doesn't take much and it works really well. There are lots of references to it here in the forum. I don't recall the amount that is...

If I plan to type a while and timeouts get to be a problem, I open up Wordpad or notepad and edit my text there. Then it is easy to copy it over to somewhere like here.   So you are going to have some meat for your grill to season with your hot peppers.  

Some little kids moved in a nearby apartment in the building where I live. I have a ghost pepper plant outside. It doesn't really surprise me that people steal peppers; it is more surprising to me when they leave them alone. Dozens or hundreds of people could walk by and behave, but it only...

Those strawberries were photoshopped really nicely. I would like to eat fruit like that.   My seeds came from the salad bar at my local grocery store. From off the sides of actual strawberries.  

Thanks. I will try more light. I thought that they would be okay longer with artificial light. My peppers were more forgiving.  

My plants aren't getting any bigger. I don't know why not. Still no true leaves, either. The only reason I was trying it was because I was interested in growing them from seed, from strawberries at the grocery. I used to have strawberries in the back yard when I was a kid. One day we...

They do seem to grow extremely slowly from seed.    

Sounds like high nitrogen fertilizer would be the way to go, to encourage leaves to develop more than flowers. I thought that strawberries were supposed to grow fast, so I thought I was doing something wrong. I read that freezing the seeds would have led to faster germination, but it is too...

On the internet I saw a video about popping the seeds off the sides of strawberries. Easier said than done. I ended up turning a strawberry into a mash and spreading it out. It said 2 to 3 days to let it dry. Weeks later, I am still getting new seedlings popping up. They just aren't getting...

Has anyone else tried this sauce? I was expecting it to be hot, with Carolina Reaper in it. It wasn't. And when I poured it on my food the first time it came out much faster than I was expecting.   https://www.lolasfinehotsauce.com/

Just pay for the stuff in the commercial.  

I had always been told that storing cooking oil in a cool dry place was best. A kitchen cabinet. And it is good until it is gone. Do you really have to refrigerate when storing peppers or garlic or other things in the oil?  

I couldn't taste the jalapeño and my wife said they smelled really bad.   Somehow the video doesn't seem the same with no sound, but it didn't look like you enjoyed the chips.
