what i want to know is when making pepper powder do you remove the seeds or leave them in? i`ve only made powder from cowhorn and jalapeno peppers and at that heat level i leave the seeds in so there is no loss on heat. this year i have a larger variety and was wondering if the seeds affect the...

i noticed 2 pods with this same exact hole on the pod but it doesn't appear to go all the way through the wall of the pepper. does anyone recognize this damage? the area around the hole is spongy but the rest of the pepper is firm. i have read here about hole boring critters but can`t recall...

i will reserve my answer for a while to see what everyone`s answer is. be honest! if you like it say so. if you don`t, say it too. no heat in this pesto. just green. could be basil. could be anything green, spinach, parsley, kale or what have you. just curious what people say. cheers all! :cheers:

I know what it is and when i spotted it growing in one of my pepper plant containers i decided to let it grow there. i know it competes for water and nutrients with the pepper plants but i have not seen anything bad happen to the peppers. not long after finding it in the first pot it popped up...

i searched for a desserts thread and didn`t find one so i`m starting one now. i remembered this evening that i got this bottle of hot sauce from Pookie with my Extreme membership. this is a hot sauce designed for desserts but would also work on pancakes and waffles and many other things i`m...

i`ve been growing peppers for 4 years now and with almost to problems with pests. today i went outside and found about 8 japanese beetles, 1 on each plant and all were on exactly the same place on each plant. they were perched on the very top of a branch where new leaves form. i`ve never dealt...

i thought about starting a glog but figured it would be boring for most members because its run of the mill peppers and not updated frequently. this thread may(or may not) see more activity.   this is my 3rd year buying Bonnie plant seedlings and the first two years they did great. i picked up 6...

there are so many great threads here about all kinds of foods but none specifically about Portuguese food so i wanted to start one. it probably won`t get much traffic but that`s ok.        Carne de Porco à Alentejana                             this dish is delicious and only works with live...

i usually pick them green and make pickled rings and use them in salsa but this year i let a few go red to try them more ripened. just curious what others prefer. anybody prefer red over green? 

we have been dealing with a heat wave here in the northeast so i moved the plants that are in smaller containers to an area with midday shade and now i see some damage on 3 of the plants, all Jalapenos. it is only a couple of leaves per plant and the rest of the leaves look fine. any ideas what...
