Yeah, superhots grow slow. Looking good.

How can you live without the lovely Didelphis virginiana? How about I mail you a few?

I have a lot of Indian coworkers and whenever they hear that I grow peppers they always get excited and ask if I'm growing any "Thai chilies". I'm not currently, but enough people have asked, so I'd like to add a couple plants. Can anyone recommend a variety? USDA zone 7b

Also this. Magnesium deficiency?

FIRST PODS!

I really should be leaving for work, but instead I popped outside to take some pictures of the grow area. This is along the side of my driveway and gets dappled sun from 1000-1230 and full sun about 1230-1830 This weekend I'll clean up the driveway and hopefully the whole thing will be less of...

  Okay, my noodle is officially baked. I guess the ocean is a bigger influence on climate than the latitude. The whole coastline in that map looks like a tie-dye shirt. I had a boss who was from Minnesota who was in the Coast Guard for a while and was based out of Juneau. He said it was amazing...

Wow, those are some big plants! I think I'm going to copy your method next year (without sauna though). Most of my plants aren't that big and they started 1 February.

  I have one or two plants of "Anaheim" seeds that claim on the packet to be numex Joe E Parker. If they grow well this year, I'll probably do a whole bed of them. On paper they're like the perfect mild pepper. One of my friends went to New Mexico on business, but didn't smuggle any seeds back...

  Thanks for the climate lesson! I guess I had imagined Helsinki colder. Probably tripped up assuming latitude = climate; 60N latitude sounds practically arctic from down here at 33N.   Now that I think about it, I shouldn't be surprised at all that Finland is good for peppers, considering over...

  I kind of am tempted to fill the tent with annuums! I have no bells. Only one jalapeno. I could really stand to have some more New Mexico types. I need to keep reminding myself that I have no room to any more things outside. Over the summer the tent will probably grow greens, as it's already...

The two plants that survived the winter are doing really great. I still need the up-pot them.   Lemon drop:   Bishop's Crown   That lemon drop was one of my star performers last year, I'm hoping for even better things this year. The bishop's crown only produced like one pod, so maybe this head...

    I'll get it started.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WCfTREZSdQ   It's like asking "what's hotter, jalapeno or mucho nacho?"

  I'm really worried about my HOA since my backyard is really shaded and my plants are on the side of the house. I hope nobody complains.

A couple of months ago my boss was driving from Atlanta to Mississippi to do some gambling, when somewhere in Alabama he saw a sign advertising local hot sauce. When he got back to to office (a couple hundred dollars richer too, go figure) he fired up the Google to find out if he could buy some...

Here's the latest hardening-off group. This group includes some of my best plants including the only no-heat varieties I held on to (unsurprisingly those were most popular when I was giving plants away to friends and neighbors, though my neighborhood surprised me by taking in a lot of superhots...

According to my Indian coworkers, "bhut jolokia" just literally means "ghost pepper". So there's that. I use them interchangeably.

So what happened is my boss found this small scale hot sauce seller in Alabama and a few of us in the office were intrigued, so (to save on shipping) we put together a group order. My boss mentioned to the guy that I grow peppers and so he sent me A TON of seeds. Really cool guy, awesome hot...

Are there any patented peppers?

Between giving away plants and moving some outside, I can finally see the floor in my tent! I may have started some seeds too...
