No, I'm not sure, but what you described is what it looks like. I now have some that have grown to 4-5 inches so far. Would hand pollination help the others? How do you tell the difference between male and female?

Cross Country Nursery (chileplants.com) has several hundred varieties of chiles and I order from them every year for the past 8 years.  They are awesome.  They are out of New Jersey, but ship every where. They usually ship my plants on a Monday and I have them Wednesday.  I'm in South Carolina...

Vinegar

I'm in the Midlands.

No yellowing leaves. The plant looks very healthy actually. I'll try adding lime and egg shells to the soil since you say it could be calcium. Thanks!

I have cucumbers growing in a pot with a homemade trellis. It is full of flowers. The cucumber will get ti about one inch long, then yellow, rot, and fall off. Does anyone know what causes it and how to stop it?

I have the same problem with squirrels. I use cayenne pepper and it works. It will not harm your plants. The only thing I hate is when you water or when it rains, you have to reapply. Good luck!

I keep the seeds from mash making, to blending, to cooking, then I strain prior to bottling.

Ok. I may try pinching. But it would be cool if these babies produced all season long. Thanks! Ikeepfish, some if those are super hots-definitely the bhuts. You're zone 7a and I'm 7b. I'm wondering if the crazy weather we had has anything to do with it. I'm interested to see if they will...

I'm an organic container gardener and when I plant, I put a fish head in the bottom of the hole and put the plant on top. I buy fresh fish or go fishing and keep the heads. Fish markets will also give heads to you. I fertize throughout the season with fish and kelp fertizer. As for slugs, the...

Thanks geeme. I've had mine from CCN for over a month now. I wish I could post a pic, but can't seem to be able to figure it out from my phone. They are a decent size-- about a 1.5 - 2 feet tall. My Scotch Bonnet has peppers on it. The thing is, my other plants are doing the same thing. I've had...

I am a member but haven't been to the site in about 3 years. Thought I'd reintroduce myself!

Ok. I feel better since a fellow Carolinian is having the same issue. It may not be an issue at all. Like Dash 2 said, they may pod up all season long! They weren't root bound when I got them and I promptly planted them in big pots. This season has been a little strange so far. I had tomatoes...

Has anyone's Super Hots flowered this early in the growing season? I ordered these from Cross Country Nurseries as I have for years. The ones flowering now are the 7 Pot Douglah and Trinidad Scorpion. I'm in South Carolina, US. I know the weather has been crazy here. We can wear flip flops and...

Are you referring to Cross Creek Nursery? I ordered some tomato plants from them a couple of years ago because they have such a large variety and I wanted to make different color tomato salsas. They don't travel as well as the peppers. For the most part, they did well, but I had a couple that...

This is the first I've heard of a "country girl" pepper. Sorry I can't help. Out of curiosity, what is it supposed to look like?

Welcome! I grow in pots out of necessity as I live in an apartment and have no yard. There are some advantages to growing in pots such as the ability to move them inside in case of inclimate weather, overwintering, and not having to weed the garden. IMO, you can control your soil better...

Welcome from South Carolina!

For extra nitrogen for growth, I use fish and seaweed emulsion. It is 90 percent fish which is the nitrogen part. It works well. You can get just fish emulsion without the seaweed as well. Also, when I plant, I put a fish head in the bottom of the hole. Nitrogen, nitrogen, nitrogen... I...

I grow Peter peppers and have been impressed. I usually get the transplants from Cross Country and forgot this year. I had saved and dried some seeds. So I planted 6 last month and 2 have come up. This is a picture of mine from last year. They are shaped right. Maybe they only do right for...
