    Big Black Mama (Troy Primo)

    Here are some shots of my most impressive BBMs from last season.  My seed source was mojo peppers.     In this first pic the BBM is the largest pod in the middle for comparison (it is in fact a large chinense) Note that the peppers are slightly under ripe in many of the shots... they mature to a...

    Double shredded hardwood mulch?

    With adequate water and ample nutrients it doesn't cause problems, but in my experience fresh hardwood will draw resources from the soil... (for the same reason biochar must be charged before application to soil.)     Personally, after many failed "experiments," I cannot recommend people use...

    Double shredded hardwood mulch?

    I also forgot to add that even composted mulch can be risky to use indoors... as it usually contains lots of insect larvae and other pathogens that aren't a problem outdoors, but can manifest negative symptoms indoors.

    Double shredded hardwood mulch?

    Uncomposted/decayed mulch isn't very good to use as a soil amendment, because it has the effect of leaching the nutrients from the soil as microbiota work to break it down... in effect causing your soil to become deficient.   However, if the mulch is well-composted then it will already be...

    I have grown the Indigo Blue Beauty.  The first season I was impressed with its beauty, but not with its flavor.  I then learned that I was picking them without letting them ripen on the vine for long enough.  When allowed to vine ripen properly the taste is nice.  It is a vigorous and beautiful...

    Noah Yates' Peppers Tomatoes and Melons 2017

    My chinenses for this season are ready to be planted!  Just a few more days...   Lots of little helpers are to be found scouring the plants for parasites  :party:       This could possibly be the lone seedling that germinated from my great great grandfather's pepper seeds.  The seeds are at...

    breeding weirdest issue i've come across - any thoughts?

    I would say it is probably due to genetics.  I had a black habanero grow to 8 feet tall and it did not start producing any flowers or pods until just before the frost hit.  Another black habanero from that same batch of seeds grew to 2 feet and produced through the entire pepper season.

    When I can establish an adequate stock of my own saved seeds of each variety I will be glad to help spread the rare genetics I have collected, but for now I just have purchased seed.   Here is my list and you can see the seed sources for yourself.       Open Pollinated Slicers: 100 Pudov  '100...

    I actually have odoriko F1 in my collection, and have a few plants growing this season.  2016 was the first year I tried momotaro F1 after reading rave reviews on tomatoville and elsewhere.  It certainly lived up to the hype.... very healthy, tolerant plant, with blemish free tomatoes (even...

    Noah Yates' Peppers Tomatoes and Melons 2017

    Here are some shots of my plants soaking up some morning sun on their third day of exposure to the elements.  As you can see, I decided to wait on my big tomato grow out, as I will be traveling too much this summer to be able to manage so many tomatoes.  Next season will be the ultimate tomato...

    shade Can you use weed block fabric as a shade cloth?

    I only covered them with shade cloth from about 12 noon to 3 pm.  I use a slightly different technique for hardening off every year.  This season each day for 2 days now I have been letting them get morning sun until noon when they are placed into the shade. Morning sun is the best, because it...

    shade Can you use weed block fabric as a shade cloth?

    I have used it in past during the early stages of hardening off to provide temporary shade when the sun is at its peak.  Seemed to work fine as a temporary fix.
