Maybe this question is too broad, but can somebody please provide an overview of some of the most popular numex peppers? I see a lot of different varieties (Big Jim, 6-4, etc.) and they even list the scoville rating, but I don't see many descriptions of the taste or other details. Can anybody...

I've got tall and/or bushy plants all over the garden, but some seem to be putting too much energy into foliage growth rather than setting flowers/fruit or ripening fruit. I'm thinking of switching to a low N feeding from here on out (1-5-4). Any suggestions on if that's a good or horrible idea...

I realize it varies widely depending on species, genetic, etc. But as a general rule, what timeline am I looking at for the following?   JPGS Scorpion Aji Lemon Tabasco   These are really the only plants that don't have any fruit set yet, though they all just started flowering, too. The end of...

I'm growing Sugar Rush Red, Peach, and Cream, and as I noticed some pods forming on the plants yesterday, I realized I had no idea how hot they each are. I notice some places mention that 1 or more varieties are "below a habanero" but that's not really informative. Does anybody have any idea...

I put all my plants out into raised beds on Saturday morning/afternoon, and watered them. That evening, they looked pretty rough, but by Sunday morning, they were all looking good. I think they rebounded because they were a little thirsty when I transplanted them, and the water helped them...

If I want to make up for the lack of Calcium in the Miracle-Gro I have left, can I just add Cal-Mag to the mix (water and MG)? I assume maybe I'd want to use less of one or both to not overdo the Nitrogen (the Cal-Mag is 2-0-0), but besides that, is there anything keeping me from adding both for...

Pretty much just the question in the title. I want to keep weeds under control, but I also don't want to mess up the potential for root development. The weed barrier I'm looking at is supposed it be good for drainage, so that's not a concern. The beds are 1 foot deep. Here's the link:  ...

I've got a couple Cayenne plants that each have a half dozen or so flowers already, and based on the buds that haven't flowered yet, it seems like I'll probably have no less than 24 on each plant by the time I plant out into raised beds in 2 or 3 weeks. Should I start pinching off the flowers...

I started some extra seeds so I could give some plants to my parents, who have a pretty big garden. I'm going down this weekend, and am planning on bringing the plants with me (their plant out date is right around the corner/maybe already here). I started hardening off the plants yesterday (it...

A local place has garden soil (mix of their compost, potting mix, and sand) available by the cubic yard, and I'm looking at getting some to put in my 3 8'x4' 1 foot deep raised beds. They have the following lab results of what's in it.  ...

http://imgur.com/a/DiAev   I'm starting to see the above happen to my peppers that have been transplanted into miracle gro potting soil for over a month. The peppers that have been in for 2 or 3 weeks or less are all fine and not exhibiting this behavior. Given that, I'm assuming it's not...

I ordered most of pepper and tomato seeds from Baker Creek, and I've been very happy with all but one. I posted a review indicating the poor germination rate (3 out of 25, with only 1 of those making it 2 weeks after germination) on their website, and they didn't post it. I asked why, and they...

I started my hot pepper seeds about 6 weeks ago now, and the plants are growing nicely. I'm on a watering schedule of about every 4 days (depends on when the soil seems overly dry and/or plants start to wilt). I watered them all last night, and this morning just one leaf of just one pepper was...
