danish; Many thanks! I do plan on doing a small greenhouse next year, and I'll reserve a spot for the Piper Longum.   Paul F.

Well here's hoping we get a long "Indian summer" like we often do!   My GUESS is nighttime temps won't drop below about 35 until late October... But who knows.   Back to studying recipe's for my first few peppers, LOL!

No offense taken! I am indeed completely aware of that...   :P That's why I posted in this here "Other" category.  I figured, it was only an extra $3 to try something different along with the varieties of peppers-peppers I got seeds for.    

Ha!  Got another pic to work! (having trouble with my image host...) This is a Grandpa's, and the peppers have gotten bigger than a pencil eraser now!    

Started the plants indoors in late January, under grow lights indoors until early to mid May (night temps still in the low 40's).  Managed to overwater, overfertilize, or sunburn to death about half of my seedlings. The survivors went outdoors in early June.     Plant are 12" to 20" tall.  I...

I bought some peppers seeds online, and spotted these "Piper peepuloides - Long Pepper" seeds. Well, they were advertised as "Piper Longum", but the package says "Piper Peepluloides" - whatever, I'm getting off track.   I live in Far-Northern, Very Coastal, Damp, Grey, Summer-High-Temps of 70...

I'm in Far-Northern Very-Coastal California, and our summer has been grey overcast, 63 degrees to 70 degrees for daily HIGH temps.  We're finally getting some nice days, and my pepper plants (types in a moment) are starting to sprout little fruit-ses!   I have; Maule's peppers Grandpa's Peppers...

So... planted some "Habenero" seeds from Dollar Tree (all my other seeds came from better vendors, and look like they're supposed to - these were just a "oh, what the heck.." impulse purchase).   Lost a couple plants to sunburn, and one to over fertilizing... ooops..    The three survivors are...

Cornstarch vs Xanthum gum; Looks like I'll do some reading about this before next batch! Thanks!    

  Huh...  Overwatered?  Well, the Dill in the pot right next to 'em told me it was UNDER-watered.  Wish these plants would make up their mind!  ;) I will try not watering so often, and also not using "tap water" without a day or so to sit in a bucket. Weather report says rain later this week...

Pretty wet spring, plus watering at least once a week... so it shouldn't be underwatering. OVER watering I might buy.. Iron deficiency? Hmmm... I'll see if anything I've been using has some iron, or if I have any nice rusty nails! (Mostly kidding on the nails... unless it would work?)

Thanks for the tips! Plastic caps, won't BWB those again.. (seem to be OK this time, though).   Pulled them out after just a few minutes. Just wanted to get the blast of steam from fogging my glasses up before I tried pulling them all out, LOL.   This batch tastes pretty good, but is awfully...

For the past few weeks, some of my pepper plants (this is my first year growing 'em) have started to get yellow tops... These are Maules peppers, and Serrano's and one Tian Tsin.   I have added some Epsom Salts last week, early, and no apparent effect. I added some bone meal ( 3-15-0 ) last...

This is actually a "practice" batch for what I hope to make at the end of summer and then give as Christmas gifts.   I have my fermented "mix" (dried peppers, mango, onion, garlic, etc) having fermented for 30 days.  I Ph tested the liquor on top ( 2.8 ).   I used StarSan sanitizer (from my home...

Thanks all! Tried to get a pic of the underside of the leaf, but it's now too dark and my phone is taking dark pictures (naturally!).  The undersides of the leaves look normal.   Sunburn?!?!  Wow... I think that plant got a whole two hours of afternoon sun.  And not that nice hot SOUTHERN...

Hmm... apparently I'm not allowed to edit... (probably too new 'round these parts... I understand!).
