Ordered from chileplants.com (Cross County Nurseries) for the first time last year.  I ordered 4 peppers (Naga Purple, 7 Pot Bubblegum, Fatalli, and Hab Francisca along with 2 tomato plants.  All arrived when promised and healthy.  Had an amazing bumper crop, with one of the best problems for a...

Purchased a 7 Pot Bubblegum, Naga Purple, Habanero Francisca and Fatalli as well as 2 cherry tomato plants in April 2016.     Nothing but great things to say, as the plants are prolific and fruiting, and most importantly, are the plants I actually ordered.   Shipment arrived without issue, and I...

Too funny, aj!  The whole process has been a joy, from hardening the plants received to the harvest I'm enjoying at present.  Having a good problem at this current time, trying to figure out what to do with all this fruit!   Thanks for the kind words.

The label from the online supplier said Carolina Reaper but they clearly are not.  They pack a nice punch but not anywhere near the Bhut's I'm growing.   Photo of the pepper in question as well as a photo of the plant itself.   Any help appreciated.   - Dave    

Just a shout out saying thanks for having me as a member.  Love the heat as well as the flavor!   First time attempting a grow of Ghosts, Scorpions & Reapers.  I'll try to post pics soon in the Growing forum.  Need all the advice I can get!   Enjoy the rest of your summer.   - Dave
