    They’re definitely a robust variety. After seeing the plant respond the way it did after devastating damage, I’m convinced. It went from the shortest plant in the field (1”-1 1/2” chewed up nub) to one of the tallest of the 204 varieties l grew in 2023. I even got two frost damaged cuttings to...

    I like using cotton burr compost. Real good water retention and an excellent soil conditioner. Outstanding when used to break up clay soils, too. Plus it has a decent natural mineral/nutrient content that won’t burn plants, as well. Finding an organic option is tricky but, doable. Using cocoa...

    news Pepper X Officially takes the title

    I’d prefer to stick a boot up his ass…what a shyster. Patenting Nature’s plants…intellectual rights!!? Thrill-seekers, hipsters and addicts ooh my…Greed must make you dumb, too.

    news Pepper X Officially takes the title

    Patenting plants using Nature’s ‘plant-stock’ (public common resources) rings as true as selling water back to the public from public common waterways. GREED seems to trump common sense anymore. Too bad the plants used for parental linage can’t get royalties, too. What a shit show to watch...

    I wanted to take some cutting from the (in-ground) plant but, wasn’t in town when the hard freeze knocked it down. That plant had the ‘hey, look at me’ mojo working and stood out from the 200 or so that I grew. Very impressive work bring that to light!!! It’s on my 2024 Grow List, for sure...

    It’s a thriving community, for sure. This is a great way to strengthen the number of active seed savers and an awesome opportunity to exercise our ’ancestral right’ to freely access seed.

    So you made the initial cross then? Did you and PaulG then collaborate on the ‘stability grow-outs, culling, etc? EXCELLENT WORK to the both of you! The plant expression is stellar! The plant I grew had almost jet black branching through the entire plant. I’m going to miss that beauty when the...

    I really enjoyed growing this pepper variety this 2023 season. A BEAUTIFUL 5 foot tall 4 foot wide dark foliaged plant that yielded approximately 35-40 amazing pods. It weathered a massive rabbit buffet (1 1/2” stub) and still produced nicely before the scheduled first frost. It was grown the...

    wanted The Group Wanted Ad for Fresh Peppers

    I do lots of international seed trading in EU countries as long as the seed counts are low. I think on your end it’s 12 seeds per variety and I’m allowed up to 50 per variety. I have a ‘small lot’ seed permit from APHIS/USDA but, they just put the skids pepper and tomato seed import/export here...

    My name is Jerry, and I have an earwig problem.

    Put a wetting agent (i.e. dawn dishsoap,aloe vera gel, etc.) in your ‘liquid‘ traps to help the liquid to stick to them or they just drown from falling. Like a majority of insects/beetles they breathe through tube (tracheae) openings (located on their throax and abdomen called spiracles. The...

    pest-i.d. something is biting the leaves off of my pepper plants

    When planting mint placing it in a 10“-12” deep container with its bottom cut out of the container will usually keep it from spreading. Pruning will keep the mint off of the soil so it doesn’t spread out of the container. I keep a lot of ‘rhizome-type’ plants from spreading this way. Keeping it...

    container-growing Should I cut off the lower leaves of my container pepper plants?

    A plant will use the already processed nutrients in a leaf before shedding it (reduces it energy output). Unless, the leaf poses a threat to the plants health leave it be. We only assume what the plant needs, the plant knows what it needs. Outside of light, water and nutrients the plant pretty...
