More Questions Not sure I'm doing good at this hardening off thing. First day out on a very warm day I left them out rather longer than intended and most of the trinidads got a couple of sunburned leaves. Then we had a couple of days of wild weather and I kept them in. Then we had a break...

excited newbie here well, I didnt go that far! I intended to grow two varieties.... at first...I now havve 5 yellow scorpions, one red scorpion, 4 Aji limon's 3 fatalli's and 2 habanero's. 15 peppers from someone who hasnt attempted plants in a dozen years. I was wishing I'd gotten more...

Good luck in the land of Beef. Remember, they are not Hindu sacred cows- they are American Bulls (this was told to me by an Indian acquaintance). Hopefully the diversity P. Dreadie mentioned will give you more opportunity to find fresh spices.

umm. A) if anyone was used to such an object in their house, it would get laundered with bleach. B) my boys wear boxers. C) There is no good place to hide money. If they sell a safe in the shape of something else, the thieves know about it. If you got more than a hundred...

Oh goody. Because I think I ought to have habaneros. giant pepper bush sound good- then I could make that amazing pepper tonic I had at Christmas. Two plants should be enough then. Got to get my plants used to going out so they dont get sunburned. left them out a bit too long the other day...

Thanks Patrick- actually my plan for the drip tray is to fill with water and dump out whats left after twenty-four hours. I figure I can water them when the dirt feels too dry, or when they begin to look wilty. Which should work, since your advice seems to indicate alternate periods of rain and...

5/25-repotting day. "Mom. I cant eat my pizza in the kitchen! Your PLANTS are ALL OVER THE TABLE!" Well, I ran out of room in the windowsill: Here's the Count: 1 red Trinidad Scorpion form Patrick. 5 Yellow CARDI Trinidad Scorpions from Pepper Ridge Farm. 4 Aji Limons from Patrick 3...

ooo, fresh greens. One day I will have a yard I can grow greens in. Sounds much better than grass. I am so in awe. I have 15 pepper plants and i'm hoping I can keep up with those!

Its been wild windy and wet here, too. Last frost is supposed to be April 15 here, but I havent put out plants yet because we had to many severe storm sirens of late, as well. My plants will live on a second floor balcony, so I have been waiting. just putting them out on nice days. Hang in...

No offense was intended. I see I did not explain myself clearly. I was speaking from personal experience. When I am frustrated, I am frequently not a nice person. Doesnt do me a damn bit of good. A pleasant tone of voice and a calm explanation have opened doors for me I did not think were...

we skipped the sunny and breezy. we went from cold and rainy to hot and muggy. One night I'm shivering under a quilt and the next turning on the a/c.

funny you should ask Today I went to an 8th grade awards banquet. This is my son: That would be the award for THE HIGHEST SCORE in the whole school on the Mathematics proficency test. I think it was 98.5%. Of course, I am also proud of his brother, who helped raise him: That young...

ah. The Wolpertinger must share a distant ancestor with the Midwestern American Jackalope. I know experienced hunters of Jackalope and Snipe in Aberdeen, South Dakota who will gladly take visitors to their small town on a hunting trip for a very small fee. Only the locals can find them. The...

sprinkle the top of the dirt with cayenne powder. It works on cats and squirrels. Dogs is stupid....but, they are no fools. Warm blooded animals, I have discovered, get jealous if you spend less time with them because you are spending more time with someone/something else. Unlike your wife...

Bugs are either friend or foe to your plant, you need proper ID. If it is a preying mantis, then you have got one of the worlds best "guard dogs" on hand, that is a predator that will gobble up al the bugs that think that pepper plants are good eating. On the other hand, if your new resident...

I dont think you're crazy- I love the smell of earth!

I see sticks in your pots, Patrick- do you tie them to stakes? Is it necessary- of course, you get more breeze than I do.

woohoo! This is my first year in many to attempt to grow ANYTHING -I'm as excited as you are. check on em twice a day and ask silly questions. The folk here are great and patient with us newbies. I Friend hooked me on hotter peppers sending me samples, I looked at pics here and had to grow...

NO, I dont. I only do that if I drink carbonated products. TPBM is happy to get a break from the rain and see the sun. Me, too!
