Nah... the biggest single thing I learned in college was just where to start looking for answers to your questions. 101 classes are to teach you the concepts and the jargon to be able to discuss them. You have to supply the drive and the focus after that. Sent from my SM-S327VL using Tapatalk

No clipping involved... it just decided to grow that way. I'll post pics when I get home. Sent from my SM-S327VL using Tapatalk

After it forked, the Peruvian Rocoto started to grow out laterally as well. Each branch has split 3 times, and each time has been horizontal. Sent from my SM-S327VL using Tapatalk

  S'right brother... I highly recommend it! :)     Yeah, we start off feeding our seedlings lightly so as not to burn the roots... it always surprises me how quickly they start demanding more! ;)

  Sorry for the hijack Scott, I'll make it quick...   In soil testing, it's important to use the right extractant for your local conditions. Logan Labs performs those tests and presents the information in a manner that's useable in the soil mineralization scheme put forward in the book. Here's...

Heh... I'm in a similar situation. I live in a condo, and the community assigned veggie plots to the folks that wanted them. About half of the families that live here are young couples that have small kids, and their discipline is very lax to non-existant. If you're not looking, they help...

Thanks Scott! So, do you spray it on as a foliar feed or water it in around the roots as a soil drench? Sent from my SM-S327VL using Tapatalk

  Very cool Dale! I'll be looking forward to whatever you make with your chiles this year, and good luck this season. Cheers!  

Nice pics of your Jalapenos and your trip! I'd be interested in your take on the pickled grapes... when I was a kid, I helped one of my Dad's co-workers, Giacomo Pisoni (who was originally from Tuscany) press grapes for wine, and make grappa from the pulp and skins of the grapes after all the...

  Oooooh yah! I think by the end of the week it may be time to begin hardening off the Annuums at least. I think I'll hang onto the Chinense varieties a bit longer. They may be bigger, but I think they're also more susceptible to cold. The plan is to transplant the onions and kale into the...

Looking great Dan! It's nice to see all those blossoms! Keep up the good work!

Check out Salsa Lady's thread. It's a great place to start.   http://thehotpepper.com/topic/29501-making-hot-sauce-101/ Sent from my SM-S327VL using Tapatalk

They'd make a great cooked hot sauce. I think they lose a little heat if they're in the freezer for more than 6-8 months, but you can adjust for that. Sent from my SM-S327VL using Tapatalk

  I noticed the same thing happened to Montmorillonite clay. I was researching using it to increase the Cation Exchange Capacity of my sandy soil, but since the "health" nuts are buying it for "colon cleanses," the price is just too high to make it affordable for a garden amendment.  

From your mouth to God's ear, eh? [emoji4] Sent from my SM-S327VL using Tapatalk

Wow! It looks like it's warming up quickly out your way Brandon! What are the overnight low temps like?

Here in New England, it's best to keep your plants short at transplant time since it's usually so cool and windy and short plants can hug the soil surface for warmth and some protection from the wind. In my experience, the Chinense varieties may be short initially, but they'll stretch out when...

  I had some fairly old seeds from 2012 I started this season, and had the best results with germination after soaking in a Fulvic acid solution. Maybe that would help.      Cheers!  

  It's very cool that spring sees to be really popping out in your area John.    We have Wild Ginger in the woods here, and Morel mushrooms too, though we jealously guard the places we pick them 'cause you never find many do you? People around here were told not to plant Gooseberries due to the...
