    Is my Carolina reaper plant dying?

      When taking from inside to outside you want to only leave them in the sun for an hour or so the first day and then slowly let them get a bit more sun each day for a couple weeks so that the leaves get used to the extra light/heat - while they are indoors they do not get much UV rays so the...

    Sales Tax on Ebay

      Granted most people never pay it but they are supposed to - so if the vendor is not charging the state sales tax on your purchase you are supposed to pay it directly - and if you get audited after reporting that you had 0 use tax owed and they can prove you ordered products online that the...

    Sales Tax on Ebay

      umm Yes   From NY Dep of Taxation and Finance ( https://www.tax.ny.gov/pubs_and_bulls/tg_bulletins/st/use_tax_for_individuals.htm )           Nope - As an individual residing in the state you are responsible to pay the use tax for online purchases you make that do not collect a sales tax if...

    Sales Tax on Ebay

      Even if you order online from a seller that does not charge the sales tax you are supposed to pay the same amount in a use tax to the state with your State tax return when you file  - so he is just helping you not have to report it and pay it yourself at the end of the year ! ( You do keep...

    Recovering Your Ransomed PhotoBucket Pix

    Is my Carolina reaper plant dying?

    Pics would help -- Hard to say without actually seeing the plant -- Was the weather different in the last few weeks ? I know here it is windy season so we always lose a bunch of leaves and even a few branches due to the winds coming through and it sometimes takes a few days/weeks for them to...

    yield Looking for small prolific pepper in the 500-3000 range

      DO any of the home improvement stores or large retailers there sell live plants in season ? --- Unfortunately Customs makes it pretty much impossible to send them across the border due to various diseases/insects that might come along for the ride so not much can be mailed but maybe some...

    yield Looking for small prolific pepper in the 500-3000 range

    Didn't realize you were in Canada -- If you don't mind starting from seed you can get shishito opepper seeds from Bakers Creek Heirloom seeds -  ( https://www.rareseeds.com/shishito/ ) - they ship to Canada !

    yield Looking for small prolific pepper in the 500-3000 range

    I'd second the Shishito - very good stir fried when green or red with not too much heat (though every once in a while you'll get one that is a bit hotter than normal still not ridiculous. Also Bonnies carries them so getting an already started plant is easier than trying to get going from seed...

    Carolina Reaper (germination time) ?

    Lots of variables - The method you used (soaking for several hours to allow them plenty of time to absorb the water they need to start the process) and then placing them in the proper environment ( Nice warm High humidity area that the Greenhouse provided) will definitely help shorten the time...

    Carolina Reaper drying up.

    Not a good idea to leave them out in the sun just after repotting - figure you kill off some roots when repotting and then add the stress of placing them in direct sunlight for hours and even with some water in the soil it can be too much for them - best to keep them indoors or at least in the...

    Help with growing Carolina Reaper and Moruga Scorpion

    Probably too much watering and keeping them too moist so they rotted before sprouting -- What I usually do is soak the seeds in water for a couple hours (this gives them enough time to soak up all the water they will need fro sprouting) - then put them in the seed starting mix that is damp and...

    seeds Frozen Pepper seeds

    AS you already said it will reduce the germ rate but will not kill them all -- seeds of all types survive winter weather outdoors in all environments so will survive freezing - but if they have a high water content some of them will be killed off due to the water expanding when it freezes...

    What to charge?????

        Just give them twice the amount of pods and have them make you a batch of the salsa !

    seeds When is the best time to start buying seeds for next year?

    Once the vendors start selling seeds from pods from this years crop rather than last years.
