I'm almost 46, but they tell me I look 45. :cool:

Wolfhound was 1st. Wish I had enough for everyone.

Thanks! I picked up a tip from another member: only take pics of the best plants. (thanks Potawie) Yeah, I can't believe how well they've done this winter. Here's what they looked like last fall: Definitely try overwintering your manzano amarillo. It looks like the payoff is gonna be...

I have been blessed with a constant supply of fresh pods all winter. I harvested all the ripe pods from my plants today as I am looking forward to planting them in the garden beds soon and I want them focus more on vegetative growth rather than trying to ripen pods. I picked over 2 pounds of...

It's been awhile since I updated this grow thread. I've been a little disappointed lately as the aphids have been relentless. Aphids Suck! The ladybugs (over 25,00 this winter) have always controlled them until the last month or so. The conditions in the green house have probably contributed...

It's tuff to pick a favorite tomato. For cherry types, Isis Candy hardly ever make it to the kitchen. We eat them as fast as we can pick 'em. I like the big sweet tomatoes like Giant Belgium, Brandywine, etc. The biggest tomatoes for me are Delicious...huge and, well, delicious. Grew...

I have a light fixture like that with a 65 watt CFL bulb I picked up at Lowes for under $20. It puts out lots of light with out much heat. You can put it just a few inches from the plants. After the plants come up, some airflow is good for them. I'd probably not cover the tub and aim a...

PM's sent, payments made, peppers picked and packed, labels printed. Will be headed to Post office in 1 hour. That was easy! Thanks! Offer closed.

I'm lazy and haven't harvested them yet but, here are some pics from last week. Yellow 7 Jamaican Hot Chocolate Fatali This pic is from last month of the Cumari ou Passarinho Other other varieties that might have ripe pods include Big Sun Hab, unknown pequin type, lemon drop, bhut...

I have enough pods for 1 or 2 small flat rate boxes. The varieties will be Yellow 7 pod, Fatali, Jamaican Hot Chocolate, Cumari ou Passarinho, and whatever else I find ripe. Cost: $15 and includes shipping. After first person commits by posting here, I'll harvest and see if there's...

How much are fresh pods worth this time of year? I have about 288 square feet of tropical pepper paradise in my backyard. Greenhouse: $$$$ Heat and lighting: $$$$ Nutes and other supplies: $$$$ Escape to the tropics whenever I want: Priceless :cool: I have a few pods I can spare.

:welcome: Gift idea? Hmmmm...dehydrator!

In NW Arkansas in a 2 or 3 week period this year we broke record high temps, record low temps, and single storm record snow fall. It's been a weather roller coaster lately.

I always knew this but didn't know how to explain it. Water from a garden hose is nothing like that from a thunderstorm. Lots of good info here. I'll be re-reading it too.

Thanks SS and Dot Com. I've really enjoyed having fresh pods this winter. Siliman, the beds are 18" with 3 feet between. I wouldn't recommend anything closer than that. It looks like a lot of room when the plants are small but gets really crowded later. The beds run north and south so the...

It's been about 10 days since an update. The garden is showing signs of spring :woohoo: . Added some cattle panels to the new beds for support. The overwintered pubescens will start out already taller than these panels so, hoping for some massive bushes by end of the season. Planted Sugar...

Yep, it has 2 inserts with measuring cups or whatever built in. I didn't need to measure anything for these s'mores though. :) They were sooo good I made another batch...then I rubbed my eye. :tear: :fireball:

I usually don't cook anything that is worthy of posting but thought I'd share this. Turned out really nice. The fresh Bhut flavor was a perfect compliment and the heat was nice but not overwhelming. Here are the ingredients, you already know what they are. :) Sliced up the bhut and placed...

One of my 1 year old yellow 7 pod plants has been producing small little pods like this all winter in the greenhouse. They're the only way I can say I've eaten a whole Y7P. :D

I bet you could set up a tank or 2 like SC's and leave them stationary a little higher than the garden. Use a pump to fill the tanks as needed and hook up soaker hoses or drip irrigation gravity fed from the tanks. A 2" pump should fill a 250 gallon tank in just a few minutes.
