A win yes, a "crushing" no. See you in the championship game. Go Green!

As a Canadian, I would expect nothing less. Maybe need to start a Lord Stanley's Cup thread at the appropriate time.......that outta go over big around here. Oh by the way, the Spartans are in the ncaa hockey tourney as well! Nice that my alma mater is capable of playing more than one...

Are there any BB fans here........or is the THP a football only crowd. If so, the NCAA BB tourney is a great time of year to be a sports fan. Who you got in your brackets? Who's your cinderella? Vandy could be a real sleeper. My avatar tells my story......Go Green!!!!!

Synclinorium - Monster plant and nice pics. You stated, "I got 4 ripe pods and about 35 unripened pods in various states of maturity." Seems rather minimal given the size of the plant and your longish growing season. Is the plant in pic. 2 the over-winter of pic one? Grown in the ground or...

Consulting my grow log notes for the yellow Roccotos from 2010: Seeds (4) started 1/14/10. Germination (3) on 1/26/10. Repotted 4/6/10. Planted (2) in garden on 5/19/10. Plants grew to a height of 22". First pod set was noticed 8/20/10. Eight fully sized green pods between the two plants...

Got to get them some light!! Window sill light is usually not of a long enough duration or intensity for seedlings. I grow under 48"T-8 6500k floro bulbs, 18 hours on 6 hrs. off. You can purchase a two bulb utility light fixture, bulbs and cheap mechanical timer at Home Depot for < $30. Jury...

If you're target plant out date is 4/15, you need to start NOW. Pay no attention to the mildness of the winter, go with your hardiness zone and what your last expected frost date is on a historical basis. You need to have appx. one week hardening off process before they are outside for good...

Wasatch: I&rsquo;ve been appreciating your vinyl postings for some time now. Like you, I appreciate the sound quality of good vinyl played on a quality system. It offers a &ldquo;warmth&rdquo; to the music that just can not be replicated in the digital medium. Plus a number of my old...

A fellow 5b pepper grower, so I thought I&rsquo;d weigh in. With some advanced planning, you can grow just about any pepper variety. With an early enough start, all the C. Chinense are doable. I&rsquo;ve grown 7 Pots (4+ ft.), Habs., Bhuts, Nagas, Scotch Bonnets, the Trinidads, etc. (all the...

Mr. Peabody, fire up the &ldquo;Wayback Machine"

Just finished re-reading (after 40+ years) Catch - 22 by Joseph Heller. Yossarian! Now starting The Great Leader - Jim Harrison.

AB - Maybe I will get motivated this year and try your black fabric idea on the pepper patch. If I can find a small quantity of it to try on the cheap, may make for a good experiment. I&rsquo;m kind of &ldquo;old school&rdquo; in that I have never used any plastic mulch in my gardens, strictly...

FB = "Not on the Grid"

I have a variety of Numex to pick from this year: Big Jim, Sahuaro, Big Chile, Joe E. Parker, 6-4 Heritage and Anaheim TMR. The Anaheim&rsquo;s in years past have been pretty consistent on the heat levels (mild) for me. Personally, it does not make much difference to my taste; however when...

Yep, Numex for me. Poblanos have a taste that I do not care for. Big Chile in years past, looking forward to the Sahuaro this year for my Chile Rellenos. Also enjoy the large hot cherry for stuffing with a cream cheese and herb mix the wife makes up. Fresno poppers!

I also live in S.E. Michigan. Pay no attention to the winter weather as a predictor of what things may be like in the spring. This mild winter probably means we will have a cold, wet and crappy spring! I usually target for plant out on Memorial Day weekend most years. The last two seasons...

The grail of grow logs! You win the internets. Hope you don't mind but did a copy as a reminder for prospective seed acquisitions from from you in the future. Curious, how much land do you utilize to grow all your plants? I know that you have other besides just peppers. BTW seeds obtained...

Not a CPA but have a M.S. in Finance and do individual tax returns. P.M. if you would like to discuss your issue.

TFM is the only SB I've grown, it's prolific with great flavor and pod size. I will be growing these plus Foodarama this season. I would like to try others in the future but need to have some discipline on the number of varieties in the pepper patch. ?: SB seeds are the most stubborn seeds...

I enjoy watching “Heatseekers”, I think I’ve viewed every episode. Remember the show is on the Food channel, not the “hot pepper” channel. For those who may not know the format: half hour featuring a specific geographic locale, three segments, ranging from mild to medium to hottest. The...
