I just ate my first Datil. It was small (~1"). Nice back of the tongue burn! I expect the larger ones to be hotter though.

call me a wus but that Ring of Fire Cayenne was HOT! Crazy mouth burn.

made some kick ass poppers, not quite hot enough though.

"HEAT WAVE", low-mid 30's C and the peppers are loving it!

I had an idea for a kind of popper the other day so I picked up some ingredients: ripe fresno peppers, chorizo, montarey jack cheese, and some greek pitas (they are thicker and softer then lebanese pita). I cut up the pita to be a bit larger then the halved peppers, put a nice chunk of chorizo...

making some fresno poppers with chorizo and monteray jack cheese!

Oh man, your pics make me very sad for my stunted plants. :(

I found this post while searching for something else, but... The donair was invented in Halifax by a Greek man. This guy was (he has past away) a friend of my wife's stepfather who is also from Greece. Donairs are awesome, period. :)

Yes, you can use the sour dough hooch as a starter. The hooch is the liquid that collects at the top, it has a good amount of lactobacillus in it (the bacteria we want for this fermentation). I would be careful with the amount of garlic you add... as far as I know garlic is an antibiotic and...

Potted up over 70 4.6 gallon pots on the weekend!

Ooh, good point. I don't want the hose to flip or unwind, decapitating my plants. I have some plastic zip ties I'll use to secure the hose to itself in the loop.

Good point about the flexibility - that's something I'll watch out for when I pick out the hose. I'm going to try to find something decent instead of picking the cheapest one I can find. Will post pics for sure.

I had thought about using irrigation tubing but this is only a temporary home for the plants while I'm away. I figure I have a better chance to reuse the soaker hose than the tubing around the yard.

Hi everyone, I have roughly 80 pepper plants that I will be starting to pot up to 2800 size pots (real 4.6 gallons) this week. However in 2 weeks I will be taking a 3 week vacation so I need to rig up an irrigation system for my absence. My plants will be grouped together in a rectangle on my...

This is what I'm using, a "2800" nursery pot, which is about 4.6 gallons. I am getting two sleaves of them (35 containers per) for about $43 each, so at just over a buck a piece. http://www.itml.com/prodDetail.php?pd=1668

I jammed a whole bunch of green thai peppers into two 5 oz woozies, topped one up with vodka, the other with tequilla. I let them sit for quite a while (ok so it's been like 6-9 months now at least) and all I can say is WOW... freakin hot. :) Sometimes I add some to a ceasar.

I have some leeks in the fridge and some meat to marinade some jerky meat today. Can you give some more info on using leeks with jerky or sausage?

Thanks for the info, Potawie. I'll be watching the temperature closely that's for sure. It might be worth cutting a few vents in the plastic too. WGB, the zipper is in the front of mine. This cost me $30 and I don't expect a whole lot from it; it will help me along though.
