yeah the plant itself is pretty strong and the new growth looks okay. It just wasn't quite ready to handle what I put it through. The season is young, I have time. Thanks. I wanted to get a few test plants in the ground to start things off and see what happens. since we had such an early...

you've got some good stuff going on there. I like the raised bed set up. Your overwintered at the front of the raised bed pic is starting to kick in with lots of new growth too. What plant is that one?

Thanks Patrick. The Bonnet does seem a bit long and pointy for the usual ones I see as well. Time will tell! A few others: 'Pumpkin Hab' Savina And finally, what happens to a plant when you don't harden off. I've got about 4 plants like this. Fortunately I only put 2 in the ground as a...

Hey Patrick. Yeah long time away but now that interesting part of the season is kicking off and pods galore are already appearing I thought I'd catch up. I think we'll both be having monster years. We're pretty far ahead of the game which is paying off! So you don't think it's a scotch...

the people who have posted more messages on this thread (and every other like this) than the people actually interested, even though they 'supposedly' don't care about it. why else would they be on here? They have to make their comments over and over and over, for some reason. I guess it...

who's thread is this? I know you're angry but you're also not in grade 5 anymore.

Update, now that it's outdoors season. One of the two future homes of the peppers Hardening off holding place for a few. In front...Savina, and Morich. Scotch Bonnet Pod with a gazillion flowers (this one was started end of Jan) Choco Bhut...or possibly 7Pot courtesy of Madhatter. This...

hey skydiver. I had some sun scolding of my own today. some of my plants seemed unaffected by it but today I put my first plants in the ground looking good and here's the result of the sun scold. Fortunately this was just a test plant (Bhut) that I have backups for and it will probably recover...

Although I'm non hydro, I'd say the average for me is around 5 days. Would hydro make a difference in that department?

i always fertilize at each pot up/transplant with a good soaking. My reasoning is that that it gives a good feeding to the plants to stimulate growth into it's new space. I want the roots to stretch out as quickly as possible after they've been used to a confined area. Not sure if it makes a...

I did the shaking thing this season and a fan some times but had little success. I did a few with paint brush or the old finger routine and it worked out much better. From what I've noticed, indoor pollination definitely benefits from some manual 'stimulation'. I had tonnes of flower drop...

welcome back. Sicne Devin Townsends released his latest 'Addicted' while you were gone (at least I think), what did you think? Personally I love the more mid-paced approach. Great album.

amazing list Grant. You're making the Norweigan doomsday seed bank collectors jealous!

all look really cool. I'd go for #1 seeing that it looks like a real tree.

Thanks for posting that. love it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1Zmkevry5g&feature=related

I usually only use markers for containers since I move them around a lot. For the garden I'll draw out a quick sketch on a piece of paper where everything is. A map so to speak. I like having the full overview in front of me and it's handy to have for the next year remembering what grew well...

Great plants Patrick. Glad to see you made it to mid-May with perfect plants. That potting up was definitely worth it. Soon enough they can be set free! Love the garage set up too. Eliminates all that pain in the arse lifting back and forth, back and forth, for hardening off. Until the...

"The Complete Chile Pepper Book: A Gardener's Guide to Choosing, Growing, Preserving, and Cooking" (2009) by Paul Bosland and Dave DeWitt is probably the best book I've seen regarding chile peppers. Unfortunately, like most pepper books, it's 25% recipes, but the other 75% gets into quite a bit...

they'll start taking off but with a start this late you sure are cutting it close. Especially with the short seasons we have. Best of luck!

2 years ago I bought the naga jolokia and it was PC-1. I didn't know the difference at the time and most importantly wasn't a member of this site so I thought I was getting the worlds hottest. They were hotter than the cayennes I grew, but I was pretty disappointed when I realized the true...
