That's not true at all. The only way the normal peppers would be hot from that is if they cross pollinated, and that wouldn't have an effect until the next year if you save seeds. Planting sweet or mild peppers beside hot peppers won't have any effect on that years pods.

If they're calling it hot it shouldn't be cubanelle. Looks like a New Mexico type pepper to me, very similar to the New Mex 6-4 I have growing this year.

Can't help with the caterpillar, but based on the second bugs back legs I'd say that's leaf footed bug nymphs. Those things have been horrific for me in the past.

Love these peppers, and the story behind them. I was introduced to them by Gary last year, and they immediately became my favourite jalapeno. Awesome flavour, nice thick flesh and hotter than other jals I've tried. I've got no pics atm, but have 6 plants in the ground, and first wave of pods...

Just had my first ripe cumari du para for the year. Love these tasty little firecrackers!

I'll second this. Jim Duffy has great quality plants. Also check out refining fires Facebook page as they regularly do specials this time of year. I've seen a few sweet and mild specials so far.

Uv lights work great for finding hornworms too. Awesome tool to have.

You and me both Devv! Gary has been a fountain of knowledge about pepper growing for me, and always happy to answer any questions. One of the nicest guys around.

How long have they been outside? That looks similar to what happens to the large older leaves on my plants when I move them out of my hardening off zone into full sun.

I have definite production drop off with most of the Chinense I've grown during the peak of summer here, and our temps are usually only mid-high 90's so it's a definite possibility that too much sun/heat is possible.

Yeah had one of those last time I was back home on holiday. Still prefer the good old round pies though.

Yeah originally from Ipswich. About half hour west of Brisbane.

Damn I miss the convenience of grabbing a pie from the servo or bakery back home for a quick bite. Luckily I found a decent recipe so I can make my own now.

I signed up on that site last year and haven't heard or seen anything unfortunately. If you have Entergy as your electricity provider you can get free wood chips through them.

Can't recommend this site enough. Top quality seeds, and the $5 is damn near a lifetimes supply of seeds!

I'd like a pack. Will pm when I get home.

Potting up my remaining indoor seedlings and moving them out to my hardening off station. Grinding the pods that are in my dehydrator for my Cajun seasoning too.

Man that looks awesome! I love rabbit, but rarely have it as it's too damn expensive down here to justify buying it.
