Thanks, Alan. That article you posted was helpful! I'll try the ladybugs first and maybe they'll stay if they have enough to eat.

I planted "early jalapeno" seeds last Sunday and today every seed germinated! I'm so excited... that's only five days!! I guess they're not kidding when they say "early." :-) Just had to share. Hope everyones' chillies are thriving!

Hi all, I know I'm going to be fighting the aphids this year so I'm planning my strategy to keep the peppers safe. I want to use both an organic soap, such as Safers, and ladybugs, but will the soap kill the ladies too? Has anyone tried both at one time? Thanks for any advice!

Thanks for the link my_key and thanks for the picture potawie! That's a beautiful plant. Does this pepper ultimately become red? I'm excited to be growing this variety and just ordered seeds from New Mexico's Chili Pepper Institute. Can't wait to post my own pictures!

Hi all, I'm going to grow Pimient de Espellette peppers and I was wondering if anyone else has grown this variety? If so, what dishes did you use this pepper for? I see that it is commonly used as a powder for spicing up dishes. Also, I couldn't tell from the images I've seen, but how large do...

Thanks for the welcome JayT. No, the sauce doesn't thicken up, but you could certainly add the flour like you suggest. I like to have the chicken with rice so that the broth flavors the everything nicely, or else turn the leftovers into soup, but it's just a matter of preference. I will...

Great! I hope you like it. :)

This is one of my favorite recipes that I'd like to share here before I add it to my website. The chicken and chillies turn out tender, juicy and flavorful. Best of all, you can add as much or as little of the peppers as you like to control the heat. Jalapeno / Habanero Chicken Thighs...

Hi everyone, Can rabbit manure be used to fertilize pepper plants? If so, how much would I add to the soil? Do I just add the fertilizer once before the peppers germinate, or do I continue to add this after the peppers go outside too? I have a pet rabbit and would love to be able to make use...

Thanks for the welcome messages and replies! I'm looking forward to growing jalapenos and habaneros this coming year and plan to take pictures for my website during the process. I can't wait!

Thank you so much for your response! Ok, I'm happy to hear that I can potentially grow the variety I want. I wasn't sure if I needed to have consistently hot weather here (80F or over) during the summer months to make this work.

Hi all, I'm new here so first, I'd like to say hello to everyone! Now, for my question. How do you know which peppers will grow best in your area? Is there a good reference out there (online or in print) that specifically tells you what environmental conditions, such as temperature, works best...
