This year, we've expanded our garden from about 350sq ft to somewhere between 1200-2000 sq ft (all container growing due to shitty soil --80-90% sand) When the wife agreed to expand, I got the green light to grow all the pepper types I had seeds for :)   I got seeds for like 7 or 8 more...

Wow it's been awhile since I've checked in with y'all! (Sorry I've found a few pepper groups on facebook and I've been living there)  This year is my "break out" year for pepper growing though. (Name of plant (number of plants) --if less than 2 plants, it's cuz some seeds didnt' sprout :( ) ...

I make hot sauces. the variety helps me to "play around" with recipes and stuff like that. I may also start making some salsas too. I also smoke/dry peppers to make stuff like chipotle and other spice rubs/blends. If my wife & I reopen our store, I will be adding things to the store like...my...

Always curious to know what is everyone growing (pepper-wise of course). Currently I have: Bells (red, green, yellow) Poblano Banana Jalapeno Habanero (orange) Ghost (red) Serano Tabasco in the seedling stage, I have: Habanero (red) Habanero (yellow) Habanero (white) Habanero (chocolate)...

So it's been awhile since I've posted, but here we are! Another spring and that means MORE PEPPERS!!!!!! We took a direct hit from Hurricane Michael last October and thanks to container gardening, all the plants were able to be brought inside (except for my dragonfruit, but it survived). This...

a buddy from high school sent me some peppers from his garden. Today I will be harvesting the seeds so I can start my own seedlings. Not sure what I'm going to do with the pods yet.... I may use his spice rub on some chicken today as well. (the rub is Ghost pepper,Carolina reaper, trinidad...

Waiting on my Dragonfruit to "lay down" and start branching so it can start fruiting (it just wants to keep growing up and up Trying to get my corn to recover Tomatoes didn't like the heat at all! Gutter strawberries are doing well.... Cayennes, Seranos, Hungarian Wax, NuMex Suave all into...

I am trying to get some seedlings of Serrano, Hungarian Wax & Cayenne's to germinate.  The Cayenne's will probably be more to dry and make my own "crushed red pepper" which we do use a lot and it will be nice to not have to buy it anymore.   Lately I have been "cheating" with my...

So the last batch of this I made, was a huge hit. People asking for more. ( I brought them small 2.5oz jars aka repurposed gerber "meat" baby food jars) Has got me thinking about what I would need to do to produce & sell it. 

Welcome from NW Florida  

Chorizo, I'm in the panhandle and we really haven't gotten a whole lot of the rain overall. Rained a couple hours a day for like 2-3 days luckily though all my peppers are in containers so if it's going to monsoon here for a week I can bring them inside lol

oh I know that...its in the fleshy part that holds the seeds.....I just said leave the seeds in to say I wasn't removing that fleshy part....seeds is just easier to say......sorry for the confusion!

It has rained the past couple days, so there's a lot of moisture in the air......the moisture on them is just dew. 

harvested all of the peppers (have another plant or 2 in flower) some of them I cut open (the whitest) some had brown lines on them One was brown inside...looked like the lungs of a 20yr smoker (aka mine probably) One I cut open and a tiny spider was inside.....but I dont' know 100% if it was...

sun scald? But you would think the leaves would be showing signs of it as well.....they're not. gonna have to pick one, cut it open, maybe taste it and see..... Everyone is asking me to make them a batch of my hot sauce (getting to the point where I have considered "canning" it and selling...

Actually they're more of a white-ish color.....

2nd year of this plant producing ORANGE peppers....2nd harvest this year from this plant.....all the other peppers are orange. Just a handful of peppers on this plant that appear to be turning yellow. None of my other habaneros are yellow (all 10 plants are orange Habs), so its not a cross...

My orange Habaneros are turning yellow. I can't really find anything on why this is.....possibly too much nitrogen or sun.......but that doesn't make sense because other peppers on the same plant are nice and deep orange like they should be. I don't know if these orange & yellow peppers are ok...

this could be a few different things.......if its getting worse and all you're doing is watering, you might be fighting root rot.......while they're not flowering, transplant them and do not add fertilizer. check your drainage, perhaps you need to add more. i'm not really thinking this is the...

Just made up a batch and wife said I pretty much mace'd everyone in the house cuz of the cooking pepper fumes.....Got a close up of color and you can kind of see texture.....I only used about 1/2 cup of water  (used 9 orange habs seeds & all --did cut the stem greens off)
