His mom must be so proud!

               

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, to pick up my order from ChilePlants.com.  I know everybody love pics, so I took some!                                    

I had put up a post about some seeds I purchased recently and got an offer from Student of Spice to share some of his stock. I took him up on his offer and they arrived yesterday.     Now to get planting as I can't wait to have some new strains to try. Thanks Ron!

If all I need to do is isolate a few flowers, can I put a zip-loc bag over a cluster of flowers? Will the bag create any problems that I should look out for?

I use a Tom's Aqualifter pump. It's basically an aquarium airpump made to work with water. It has two nipples that you attach airline tubing to, one for intake and one for output. I fill a one gallon jug with water that I keep next to the plants and feed from that. It puts out a small stream of...

When I started my seedlings I had them under three 24wHO T5's. Of course with my luck one of the bulbs burned out a few days after I set things up. I ordered new bulbs and was sent the wrong ones, so I put together a 70w MH for lighting. I thought I had the light high enough, but thought wrong...

This year I'll be growing a small variety of peppers and have a question about saving seeds. I'll be growing about 5-10 varieties that will be growing right next to one another. Am I correct in understanding that any seeds I save will not be true to original plant as they could cross pollinate...

I take care of my two elderly parents, which means spending countless hours in doctors waiting rooms. So lately after getting them situated I do some errands and waste time until their appointments are done. I decided to hit the local home stores looking for Biker Billy Jalapeno seeds as I read...

I haven't ever tried to grow a pepper from seed and didn't think I'd have as much success getting them to germinate. Lucky me, they all popped and I plan to only keep 4 of these plants. I'm hoping to have new homes for a bunch of these in the next week.

I re-purposed a 20g long tank from a coral frag tank to a seedling grow out vessel. I originally was using 3 24w T5HO bulbs on this setup and it was working pretty well, except for the dampness from watering the plants.   I then decided to use a 70w MH set up over it. I had a ballast laying...

My tongue is still tingling as I just sampled a piece. It's got enough heat to keep me from overdoing it and it's very tasty. As has already been mentioned, the cherry flavor could be a little stronger.   Thank you for the sample, I'll be placing an order for some soon.

Yes it was.

I've been putting my Red Caribbean, and Reapers out during the day for the last 4 days. I think I'm going to have an early start this season. I've already got a few flowers on the RC popping out. I don't think I had any last year until July. I sure hope the warm weather sticks with us in the...

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll be going to the nursery in April and I see they carry a few of the ones suggested. It'll be nice to try some new varieties as I've only ever grown habaneros so far..

I've got my needs for super hots covered and I'm looking for a good sized hot pepper to grow for making stuffed peppers this coming season. I'm looking for a flavorful pepper with about twice the heat of a Jalapeno.   What would you experts suggest?

Thanks for the replies. I left it alone and it's finally got some new growth showing.

Thanks for the replies.   I can't wait for spring and see how well I do this coming season.

If it is indeed scales, I might be able to help you. I recently had to deal with these and found a mixture of about 1 part canola oil to 3 parts water is very effective. Mix the water and oil in a spray bottle and spray the soil, turn the plant upside down and drench it, then do the topside of...

Last winter I tried overwintering a Red Caribbean Habenaro plant without success. This year I tried a different approach and need some advice. I have two Reapers and another Red Caribbean that I brought in and the question concerns one of the Reapers.   First a little history on these two...
