A bit over a week later and stuff is coming along just right. A few odd leaves here and there, but I know better than to panic. Epsom salt yesterday morning. These guys generally grow out of their awkward initial leaves.         Bonus shot, one of our two dogs smelling the air in front of a...

So here we go. A long time ago, I posted a grow log here. I was rocking a fire escape garden in the middle of Bushwick and it worked. I started in May and actually got a good crop all the way through to late October. Not as good as the one I got the following year when I started seeds in...

I'm not even home until Sunday, but all my plants are out in their pots in the deck. Here's to hoping they are still alive when I get back.   I haven't watered them in almost two weeks given the constant drenching and their current size (small).   We'll see how this turns out, but aside from the...

if you're having issues with getting a seedling out of a plug, it generally means you're doing it too early. let the root system encase the soil mix before transplanting.

Keeping it simple this time around. Mostly focusing on stuff I can funnel into the home-made BBQ sauces I've been experimenting with since last season: - Datil (first try) - 7 Pot Brain Strain (Got 4 pods last season. Messed up when I transplanted it). - Lemon Drop or Aji Limon (from a Farmer's...

That's it! I'm moving to texas! So wait, what are those white/pale pods in the front middle of the picture, Silver?

i just made bbq sauce out of naga morich peppers from the backyard. i had almost forgotten why I wanted to grow these out. possibly the best sauce pepper out there.

I like adding parsley to my canned peppers. It gives them an oddly tart taste after a while.

there's a lot of black-congo-types being labeled as chocolate habs. chocolate habs should be no larger than the average habanaro (i'm growing two plants right now that seem to be true to type). jamaican hot chocolates are supposed to be a specific strain acquired by a seed saver at a jamaican...

still looks orange to me :-D

awesome pics, sir! also, i wanted to say rather quickly that the naga morich strain you gave me seeds for last year is quite possibly my best-growning pepper this year. good stuff, cappy. good stuff.

i clocked my habaneros at a month from setting last year, but i do think it has a lot more to do with the end of the season, at least for us in the north.

I clocked my habaneros at 32 days last year. Just for reference's sake.

FINALLY! Choc habs are setting. And I have a few fefferona pods on a lonely plant (Jackie, you're awesome for trading those with me).

i started mine about 2 months before yours... and yours are kicking mine's asses oh so badly. good job, sir!

i think that's the way it's understood to be in the seed and garden trade though. f1s are hybrids. f2+ are unstable crosses.

i can vouch for burpee, johnny seeds and tomato growers. all of them sell quality seed.

a high rate of variability can't be correlated with a multi-parent cross.

a bih is not a bhut :-P
