Hey there I thought I would try my hand at a blueberry Caribbean type sauce. I sweetened it up some to bring out the blueberry flavour. The first attempt I used scorpion powder I had dried from last season. While good, only I and no one else could eat it. I guess my tolerances have gone up. On...

Tough year for growing. First cold with powdery mildew hits than hot, then cold again. Right now we have another of mid 30s heat which is affecting blossoms and new growth. I had most of the peppers just drop their leaves. So spent the month of June heavily fertilizing. I have new growth but I...

First attempt at hot sauce. I went the cooking route instead of the fermented because I'm new to this. Garlic at first then screaming hot. I used this recipe. https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/152262/scotch-bonnet-hot-sauce/   My particular land race of scotch bonnets is very very mild. It grows...

I had a pretty hard frost here. Everything in the hoop house made it. Every plant that was in ground I picked the ripest pods and left the rest. I pulled everything in the ground fearing if I didn't I'd find mushiness the next morning. I am having two varieties go in this direction already. I am...

I was wondering what the days to maturity is for the Urfa Biber pepper? I was given some seeds and wanted to know when would be a good time to start them. I cannot find any information pertaining to their growth rate on line. My 85 days to maturity peppers are usually planted on the 15th.

So I made some habanero pepper jelly with my Mother today. I made lots of different batches to see which peppers work the best with the apricot. I'll be honest, habs and the dragon's tongue tasted the best to me at least.    Oh I was bad, we started with some habs and red jalapenos because we...

Home base. Will post community garden photos soon.   Terrible year for carrots and peppers. Good year for potatoes and squash. First year trialing a sweet potato at 50 degrees latitude. Good year for grapes. Okay year for plums and sour cherries.    So umm, I'm using up the file buffer for...

Hello all. I figured I start a grow log. It will be mostly for notational purposes. I will need much advice for growing on the Canadian prairie. Today marks the arrival of my final seed order. I have my lights all set up but still need a bit of soil mix.   The goal here is to produce peppers...

Hello all,   I am excited to find these forums. I've been growing peppers on the Canadian prairies for a few years now and would like to up my game. 2018 was the first year I tried growing tomatoes and peppers from seed. Currently I have been using a variety of Cherry Bombs combined with the odd...
