I'm sorry, I've never mastered pic posting on thp. In fact, I don't even see a button for it.

Growing a bigger crop this year. Where I had one 4'x8' bed held three kinds last year, this year I have 9 varieties taking up 5 beds and two patches in my yard, and one large patch in my neighbor's yard. Also trying my hand at some more softneck varieties, and I'm glad I did, as this was the...

Yeah, loud-mouthed know it all internet bullies tend to do that with threads.

  I saw the dream cruise when I lived downriver. There's no way I want to be tangled in that mess again, in downtown Pontiac. LOL   As far as the peppers, I wonder if it has to do with having a very hot and consistent summer. It sucks, but I'm going to have to pull a bunch of mine up today...

  Do all so-called intellectuals act like dude from Big Bang Theory? I remember when he found a woman touching him repulsive. Frankly, I can't stand people who act above their pay grade. Oh well... guess you see this peasant as sitting too far towards the front of the bus. I'll retreat, and let...

I picked what I thought was my last harvest over a month ago. I just pulled in another good sized haul. But I remember two years ago, we hit our first frost, and everything acted like it drank Jim Jones grape drank.

  Ok, so I should shut my mouth because you and I disagree. Yeah, doesn't work that way. Just because you drink roundup by the quart, you didn't read the same shit I did. How do you know yours isn't propaganda? I said it's IN US. You agreed. I don't care how little, it's in us. And I don't think...

  But it's so unnatural for peppers to withstand those temps, isn't it?   BTW, your answers don't have to have scientific proof; just your opinions/experiences will suffice.

I live in Pontiac, MI, on the border of zones 6a and 5b, and something strange is going on with my peppers... they're not dying. Well, a couple are in the process of withering, but my other 250 plants are still producing after several frosts, and a couple of 30s-40s rains. My nephew (also in MI)...

  Yeah, you fixed it alright.

  Yes it was. Congratulations on destroying another one.   Just for your info, the OP didn't ask for scientific evidence; he simply asked a question. I had a feeling when I answered you, that this thread would be turning into a shitstorm, and I was right. This is not the first thread you've...

I'm actually surprised someone hasn't come here, calling all of you followers of voodoo, and asking you for empirical evidence that it works. Someone likes to derail epsom salts threads like that,among other threads.   One tbs in a regular spray bottle, with warm water. The plants really react...

  I know how science works. I'm talking about people who manipulate science.     Why? Because you've deemed as much? Your condescending, holier-than-thou attitude has grown thin around here, in case you haven't noticed. Maybe this forum isn't really for YOU.

  Hate to tell you, but scientific method is full of conspiracy, whether it be GMOs or global warming. Maybe ozone depletion and freon? Fracking and earthquakes? *gasp* 9-11?   So then I'm challenged, with more unsubstantiated opinion. Hate to tell you, but not everything has evidence handed...

  There's way too much bullshit out there to research, for me to get all worked up over definitions. I go with what sounds right to me. I'm not out here to hand my homework up to your pedestal, to be chastised like some serf. Do your own.

  Polio was not the disease they made it out to be. Salk actually made it worse, because it was dying out by the time they started injecting everyone with the disease... err vaccine.   As opposed to the pro-Monsanto bullshit? Sorry I don't live up to your expectations. Oh, wait a minute... no...

  Nothing was ever thorough and responsible in relation to GMOs. Don't make yourself out to be devil's advocate here. It is clear you aren't. You seem to be forgetting why GMOs are what they are... Roundup. It's in our soil. It's in our aquifers. It's in our beehives. It's in our vegetables...

  The government gave organic its definition. They decided what was organic seed and why. They are selling the lifestyle more than anyone. Do you think they did this without looking into the differences between the seeds? Do you think they don't know? The science you're wanting has already been...

  Wow, you're looking for an argument. Well, I will fulfill your prophecy by not reading your link, just because you posted that asinine and unnecessary dig.   The funny thing is, even the government, that gave the decree of what 'organic' means, haven't given the difference, reason, or...

http://seedalliance.org/top_menu_header/faq#importance   But beyond the standard requiring organic seed, there are many benefits to building organic seed systems. For starters, seed varieties bred under organic conditions provide organic farmers with the optimum genetics for their production...
