Yep, NORMALLY it is in mid October, last year it was on the 20th of Oct when we hit 35°. The first freeze last year was on Oct 28. Get this, Mt. Leconte in TN in the middle of July had a low of 33 this year....thats at an elevation above sea level of rougly 6,000 ft, so maybe the elevation is...

This is the second Cayenne this has happened to. The second to start ripening and the second to have this problem....is this Blossom End Rot? If not, what is it? The spot is about 1/2" long and is in approximately the same place on this one as it was the other one. I put some Epsom salt in the...

Ok, well I will definitely let them go then....if there is nothing to gain from cutting them off, then its a no brainer...:-). We will see what I have got in a couple months when I get a frost or hit freezing for the first time. Thanks to all of ya for taking time to respond. I do have one...

Thanks Richard, I was kind of hoping someone would say that...this being my first year at this with peppers, and everything else for that matter, I am very very novice. I am still in awe at the number of pepper that one plant has on it....;-0. Any other thoughts or opinions from anyone? Shane

Ok, I know there are some ripening threads recently posted, and this one kind of leans that direction too, but is somewhat different. My habanero plant is really taking off, it has over 80 pods on it, lots of which are mature and close to ripening, but in the last few days to a week there are...

Here is the link that I posted, not sure where my OP went. I think what you have may be young assasin bugs, or at least it is another possibility. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassin_bug Shane

Hey boutros, just trees behind the deck railings.....and some briars....lol.

All: Thanks for the comments. AJ: I think you are probably right, the plant itself seems shorter though than other Super Chili's I have seen, but the pepper size, shape and production seems to be that of the SC. I have three of those plants, and the tallest is not more than about 14" tall...and...

Thanks Silver_Surfer and thanks to all for the kind comments. To answer your question...negative, we bought young plants locally and set out. I am considering next year going with seeds for at least part of what we will grow. I would like to grow a few of the ones not available locally and it...

Here are a few shots of the plants themselves...as well as a few close shots so the green peppers can be seen. Most of what we have planted is shown here, the tallest one (back row) near the center is my Habanero: The Long Thick Cayenne: The Red Hot Cherry: The Red Chili (that's all it...

Here is a pic of the peppers I have gotten over the last couple of days. Not a lot, but there are plenty more on the way...we planted them late, but now that they are starting to turn we should start getting some decent numbers. The back row are Red Hot Cherry, middle row is premature Mammoth...

Wow, awesome line-up ya have there. Good luck with it, I thought my pods were never going to turn..finally, a few days ago they started!

Very nice! What in all do ya have planted?
