Hi queequeg152 I will be doing some grafting work mostly on my tomatoes and eggplants, I need to find a good root stock for grafting melons there are a couple that I could try for melons but this year I really don't have the space or time for them. My tomatoes and eggplants will take up much of...

I'm hedging my bet that the cactus on the left is a rat tail cactus, although it could be  a mamalopsis cactus.  I have some big night blooming white epiphilum cactuses  and a couple of redish orange and purple bloomers. One pineapple bromeliad a nepenthes what ever cutting that is refusing to...

I've grown them in the past and had good luck growing them, I had direct seeded them into the soil in early June when the soil was warm.  What I did was amended the soil with good horse manure and covered the seed area with a black soil cover to add more heat to the soil and act as a weed...

I've grown them in the past but was not impressed with their flavor, I grow melons for their taste and uses, not for the way they smell or the way they look.  The weather here in Missouri along with the many soil and disease problems, makes for growing any heirloom melon almost impossible, the...

I will be starting mine as soon as I get a new seed starter mat mainly to get my rare wild peppers going so my tomato seeds will benefit from the heat mat. I grow a lot of heirlooms which are very hard to grow all season due to late and early blight along with nematodes and wilt. The soil in...

I save my seeds from the best phenol shape that I'm looking for, from the strongest and healthiest plants. Butch T's will show some pods that are off phenol that will look like a Moruga type pod early when the plant is starting to produce pods and sometimes when the plant is under stress or is...

yep!  air dried should be fine with the seeds. You might want to check to see if the pods come from hybrid seeds  as they will throw out a bunch of different shaped pods.

Besides My wild chiltepin cross which throws out pods from 1/8" to 1 1/2 inch pods all the rest are wild species such as eximiums, chacoense, galapagoense, lanceolatum, praetermissums, Tovarii and so on, I'm still looking for some flexuosum seeds and any other wild species, I started out eating...

I don't think that one has made it up to the States just yet.

like a few other people the original C. reaper is still throwing out non pheno pods and I have grown and seen some off phenol pods during the first and later pods of the season of Jay's ghostscorpion, so you cross the two and until you hit f8 or f10 you will still get off phenol pods. I do like...

I've been looking for the more original shaped Rocopica which was thought to be a natural cross of cardenasii x rocoto or was it the other way around which I got from Joepepperhead at Rocoto.com which looks like he no longer gives out any seed. Anyway The pods were much smaller compared to some...

Hi all this year I will be trying to grow C. tovarii again last year I had terrible luck growing this and C lanceolatum which is another one I will try growing again for a second time, I was sent 3 C. chacoense varieties so they're on my list.  I have been growing one off and on for a few years...

Nice! Did you bring all of that back in your luggage? Customs here in the states would have snagged all the sauces if I had got them, they go crazy if you bring that stuff in from a foreign country, god you'd think it was a bomb.  

A few years back I was eating some 5 star Thai food mostly noodles shrimp hot Thai peppers and veggies the 5 star symbol was supposedly the hottest which it wasn't I ended up doctoring it up with some Bhut /Trinidad, 7 pod powder one of the servers saw me doing it and asked what it was, so I...

Hi and Welcome to the Forum :welcome:  :onfire: If you have your seedlings inside still you will need lights for them, there is a tagged post about lighting.  It looks like you are off to a good start.  There are some other South African members here that can help with advice on growing peppers...

Hey Chris, I hope you were able to enjoy the holidays and was able to get a little rest. I hope that you are feeling some what better, I know you are due to have more treatments, so I won't write a big thing just wanted to let you know that we are all thinking about and have you in our prayers.

This is more hot pepper powder related, I have a one pound container of Naga, Brain strain, Jonah, Pepper powder that I made over a year ago. So I decided to share some with my Chiropractor so I gave him a small Herb bottle of the power, but failed to label it. :rolleyes:   He took it home and...

Your plants look great, and so many! I really like Rocoto peppers and have grown them off and on for 10 years, but the weather here in Missouri is really too hot in the summer for them.  I get most of the pods in fall just before frost, so I end up with a lot of unripe pods. I think the best one...

Its a annuum by the flower and the color tells me that it has crossed with a purple annuum at some point, the pods look like a Hungarian paprika the heat may be coming from the cross.  Do the pods have thick or thin flesh?  At any rate its some sort of cross so I doubt that a name could be stuck...

I tried my first super hot back in 07- 08 thanks to my friend Chris, That was a real shock to my system as I just went for it, since then I've tried several others, but now I go real easy with them when I eat them fresh. I just eat a small piece at a time, I also will drink some milk and will...
