    My few little peppers 2010

    Nice! I think that bee is actually a wasp of some sorts. A lot of the little wasps will pollinate and eat parasites.

    Do you prefer your super hots over your others?

    I say, if it's your 1st try at the super-hots then have fun (or stress) with it for a year or two. It turned into more of a novelty to me, meaning I only use some for sauces and cooking. My friends won't take them because they're too hot. This year I opted for a bunch of sweeter varieties that I...

    Fresno Chili's

    I use Fresno in sauces. Mainly as a color additive. Not much flavor or heat associated with them, unless they're really ripe. And you can get 1000 seeds out of 5 of them. Like what BC said "the things grow like weeds"...

    Baby Scotch Bonnet Porn

    All those pix are awesome! I have no Bonnets going this year! Usually Scotch Bonnet plants are plentiful here at the nurseries so I didn't even bother to get seeds. No Bonnet sauce making in my kitchen this year.... What am I gonna do?????

    Berry Hot Sauce?

    I threw in a bunch of dried cranberries in one of my sauces towards the end of the boiling process. I can't even taste them. But they were dried. Maybe if I used fresh I'd taste them.

    1.5 million extract

    I'm with LUCKYDOG. I HATE EXTRACTS IN SAUCE!!!!!!! I can't get into the BLAMMO blister hot from the get go, then if the blend is good, maybe you'll actually taste the ingredients. Just go with the actual heat of the fruit. Just throw in more and more peppers into it to get the heat up. It's all...

    Habanero Flower Drop

    WEEKENDS?! I envy you. Try being unemployed for 1 1/2 years with 60 chili plants in your back yard. My (everyday) consists of sending out resumés and watching the chili plants grow.............. I've even named each leaf

    Habanero Flower Drop

    Conspiracy Theory: It's BP's oil that's being evaporated into either the clouds or just the air. Then it either rains oil or slowly dissipates the oil through the humidity of your hot, humid weather conditions from your part of the country. I can go on and on and make up more stuff but it's...

    Hello from Hot AZ

    Hello from Oakland Ca. Why's it so hard to grow this year? Are they catching on fire cuz it's been so hot there? You're all getting quadruple digit temps lately! At least that's what I hear from my friends that live down that way.

    Controlling Beetles

    Benjoe, my only thing is to be completely sure it's the beetles eating everything and not the beetles on the plants eating what's actually devouring your plants. A lot of the beetles we get here are mainly predators. They eat the aphids, white flies and little bitty inch worms. Flea beetles...

    Mulching for Potted Chiles

    What about sun reflection off of the silver foil? I'm wondering about sun scalding on the undersides of the leaves. It looks like dull silver mylar®/polyester which I have tons of in my car trunk and garage. It was scrap material from my old printing job. But if it deters aphids and WHITE FLIES...

    music What Are You Listening To Right Now?

    Video of the Father's Day Iron Maiden show we went to. It was a pretty generic set list for any ole' school Maiden fans out there.... But still a killer show. A friend of ours had a VIP pass and stole our 11 yr old daughter from us so she could watch the show from the sound board. And he also...
