Looking good!  Thanks for the updates of some great plants!

Things are going well here in warm Southern New Mexico!  I have the typical issues of bugs, etc, but nothing serious.  I have been feeding every 2 weeks with Fox Farms liquid fertilizers (Tiger Bloom right now) and watering 4 days a week or about every other day.     The raised bed plants are...

For here in the states, I have used 2 people and had no problems and some great quality peppers:     1)  Wicked Mike from the forum paying with PayPal 2)  AJDrew also from this forum at his site:   peppersbymail.com   Remember to communicate with them before you order to be clear about what they...

    Have you read this article about Troy?  It has some of his story.  You can email him and I'm sure he'll respond.   http://ljgouveia.com/RealSouth_0910-12_pp45-49.pdf   -Tom

I have noticed this also on the New Mexico type peppers I grow (Big Jims, etc.).  I don't know the cause, and as long as it's not discolored and smells good then it is fine.     If I had to guess... it would be the beginning stages of naturally occurring bacteria that start to soften the pod...

Wow, lots of great help from everyone and FAST!     I have the same problem with the few potted plants I have.  They are not happy in the midday sun either.  I give them a little water if I can, but I should move them to the shady (North) side of my house.  Good luck!   My raised bed plants do...

UPDATE... Everything is growing like crazy and lots of pods on the New Mexican types...                      

104 F here in Las Cruces, at 4000' elevation.  Thanks Kikaida for the shade cloth idea.

Two plants (Datil and Mitla) before and after pics.   Both suffered from transplant shock, but mostly from not hardening after receiving them from chileplants.com.  I am very happy with the 6 plant I did get from chileplants.com.    Now they are doing well...  

    It's more humid today, 25%, and some storms are building up right now around here.  I just took the wind breaks away, so hopefully I don't have to run and put them up again! True, last year they were putting out pods like crazy just before the freezes started.  Good luck to you too.

Things are going well...    

Man Down!  my 6-4 broke at the base after a thunderstorm...  

Mike must like me more than the rest of you because I got my goods and I am happy as always..          

First harvest!  I went to pinch flower buds off and check the plants and I had some peppers on my Big Jims...  

Good luck!  thanks for sharing -Tom

Hey Roy,   You should call Wendy's burger restaurant because they need more Ghost Chile powder in their sauce!  Tell them to kick it up a notch for us, thanks!  

I have 2 plants that are having a hard time since being placed outside.  I did not harden these after receiving them from chileplants.com.  They arrived in good condition but maybe I should have taken a little more care to adapt them.  Oh well, we'll see how they do.  They still have green...

Ok, back to this year, 2016...   I added wind breaks to protect the plants during our Spring windy season.  I will remove these at the start of June.      

Last year 2015, I made many mistakes...   1) I put too many plants into the 4x8 planters.  This meant they didn't get enough water, food, or sun.  they also were hard to pick when so close to each other. 2) I didn't feed them for the first month or more.  As you will see in the pictures, they...
