I planned for 5-10 pepper plants this year so that I have room for other veggies in my garden as well... I currently have 66 pepper plants and 12 tomato plants...I guess my garden will be expanding substantially!
Thanks for the responses. I'm hoping that it gets variegated leaves at some point. I suppose time will tell once the peppers appear as to whether it really is a fish pepper. The seeds are from a reputable source.
My fish pepper leaves are looking quite normal and lacking any variegation. They are indoors for now (since it is cold and snowy outside) under T8s. The plants are about 5 weeks old and completely green. I have 2 fish peppers on the go and they both are the same. Is it luck of the draw for...
I had a cayenne plant that I had for 6 years indoors only. It sat in a sunny window. It didn't produce huge amounts but I did get peppers all year long. It finally didn't make it this year thanks to adding a cat to our family who thought that it looked really tasty and chomped it down to...
Good luck! I hope that your surviving seedlings do well.
I haven't had any luck with any sort of chemical use for battling aphids. Anything that I try has left my plants super angry. I have had success rinsing the leaves with water while I use my hands to rub the aphids off and then manually...
I grew yellow pears last year (only 1 plant) and that thing was huge (over 7 feet tall and spread out with regular trimming) with hundreds of little tomatoes all over it. Unfortunately, I grew it thinking that my kids would love them since they are mild and my kids are huge cherry tomato fans...

Some of my jalapeños had 0 heat last year as well. I had one plant that had great heat (grown from seed) and 6 plants bought from a greenhouse that ended up producing tons of...
Good to know because i have not powdered yet!
Definitely good to know. My husband has a fit if I even pop habaneros in a frying pan when he's home because he can't stop coughing. I will be sure to kick him out before turning anything hot into a powder.
I can't say I would be thrilled with a teacher giving my preschool aged child a bite of ghost pepper anything. He would happily ask to try it because he tries everything but it's a bit mean when he doesn't understand what he's in for. Not go-to-jail type mean, but still uncalled for for a kid so...
