Those are very super purple seedlings.  Look great.  I have BJH 3's, 2's and mystery's growing.  Mine are now beginning to produce.  The best producers now are BJH 3's.  One of those is an all green speciman that is producing more now than the others. The most attractive plant I have in my...

Hello everyone!!  I haven't figured out how to post my foto's onto this forum yet.  However, I can post a link to my thread on Purple Thunder that is on a different forum.  Paul sent me seed and I planted at the end of December here in Panama.  Conditions are super hot, windy, with brutal...

Paul-that's a great little specimen you got going.  You got purple veins in the leaf and also purple stalk.  Stout little seedling.   I have 2 PDH-2's sprouted.  About 6 inches tall.  More purple patterning.   I have 2 PT mystery's.  One is super purple dwarf that is growing slower than the...

I think what I would do is top it.  Continue pruning later.  You probably are going to need to get it transplanted into a larger pot in the next year or so.  You can probably keep the tree pruned until you can get the tree into its permanent home.  Watch it for sun scald.  An Avocado is an...

I am not an expert on Avocado's.  I live in Panama and do have an avocado tree that I planted about 7.5 years ago.  I had it in a pot for the first 18 months and I kept it in partial shade at first since the sun scalds the new tree's.  My tree did produce avocado's 2 years ago.  I have been very...

Thanx for researching and finding that recipe.  I would have never thought of toasting the peppers in a frying pan before simmering them in the oil.  Thats a must try.   There is another asian pepper product that I plan to buy next time I see it in the Chinese grocery.  Its called chili paste. ...

Ok, I managed to make a batch of chili oil.  I winged it.  I also used soya oil.  The soya oil is not a good tasting oil.  As noted above.  I made about 24 oz of the finished product.  The oil didn't turn red like it did in the commercial product.  I used a mix of chili peppers including some I...

I really appreciate all the information.  Especially the information on oil and botulism.  I don't have any specific recipe yet to follow.  I might be winging it this first time.  There are so many recipes here on the forum for making hot sauce but information on chili packed in oil is harder to...

Thanx for the suggestions.  The slow cooker idea sounds good.  I will not be using pepper flakes.  I have an assortment of thai hot, tobasco, chombo and wild bird peppers fresh in the kitchen to be used.  I don't have that much.  Probably 2 cups of fresh chili peppers which is probably not...

Hello all.  I am new to the forum.  I am interested in making chili oil.  Yesterday I bought a product in a chinese grocery store here in Panama.  It is Bhut Jalokia that appears to be sauteed in soya oil.  The product is sweet smelling and the label says it contains chili's, sugar, salt, soya...

PaulG, I am already trying to make plans for what I will grow with the new Purple thunder pepper.  I have been picking tons of thai hot peppers for the freezer and for sure will grow them again as they are fairly mild in flavor and will be good mixed with Purple thunder for hot sauce.  I will...

Paul, I scrolled up to see foto's of BJH-4 pictures.  They look like some kind of crazy caramel color.  I like it.  You would never confuse those peppers in a basket of Chombo's!   Will the just now ripening peppers in the above foto get that caramel color?   My next question is about crossing. ...

Very unique colors.  Have you tried making any hot sauce yet?

I have to admit that I have never seen pods with color variations like this.  I assume that eventually the colors are going to stablize?  Good job.  Where did you buy the mesh material to cover the pods?  I need some.  Here in Panama I have no idea where I would buy any.  Someone suggested I buy...

Paul-My wife, who doesn't speak any English says that your plants are "Muy linda-Hermosa!"  There are also photo's posted of your plants on the seed savers forum called Green Country Seed Savers Forum. The photo's speak for themselves.  Again, thanx for sharing them.

I am pretty much speechless.  Absolutely gorgeous.  Thanx for sharing those foto's.   

There is a lot of low to no heat Chinense peppers to try.  Sometimes I see them in the super-market in Panama and I always pick up a couple of ripe ones to taste and maybe save some seed.  If you can grow super-hot peppers, I am positive you can grow the sweet chinense peppers.  Where I live...

This is in response to the bell pepper question.  I lived in Florida for many years.  I never had much luck with sweet bell peppers in Florida.  The best answer is not to grow bell peppers.  If you are flexible you can grow different variety's of sweet peppers.  I suggest that you search for...

PaulG, I had to click on that photo to enlarge it to see all the pods on the plant.  That is pretty incredible how prolific the plants are!  The pots much be what?  10 gallon?  How old are those plants?  I may have to step up my game and start using much larger pots also.  Once you pick the pods...
