    recipe-help Veggie and Legume recipes

    Hello all! Looking for spicy recipes for veggies and legumes (beans, lentils, etc). I'm always looking for new ideas and these categories tend to be the hardest to find. While I don't need vegetarian or vegan recipes, I am looking for meatless recipes (tasty meat recipes are always easy to...

    misc Unthrifty Buena Mulata

    Hello all, Anyone have any experience with buena mulata peppers? Do they tend to be unthrifty? Sensitive to sunlight or excess water? I'm trying to figure out why my other pepper plants (volante peach cross, datil, Baker Creek "datil", Thai, sugar rush peach) are thriving but both of my buena...

    Best herbs to add to garden?

    Hello all, I've been absent from the forum but still plodding along with a few peppers. This year I am getting a raised bed in a community garden and am very excited to be growing 4-5 types of peppers. I wanted to add a few herbs to the garden as a barrier between my peppers and legumes (I've...

    overwintering Overwinter plant subjected to aphids?

    Hello all,   So I know I'm being sentimental here, but I have to ask. I have 3 pepper plants, all datils. The plan was to try to "hibernate" one over the winter to regrow next spring, and turn 2 into bonchi.  I had cut back on visiting my plants, going over every 2-3 days, with the cooler...

    Jalapeno-less Poppers

    I have a hodge podge of mild peppers that I've been playing with, and I decided to make some poppers to use up most of what remained. I used the recipe from the website below, and filled up some Brazilian starfish, sugar rush peppacream and peppapeach, and a couple of aji dulce.  While they all...

    Pepper fruits on vacation

    Hey there,   I JUST picked my first ripe peppers from my datil plants two days ago. They seem to be ripening ever faster. The catch is, I am leaving in a few days and won't be back for a little over a week. My plants live at my friends' house, so they can keep them watered (in containers...

    What else to try?

    Hey all, So as I read these forums, I stumble across interesting things, and even though I KNOW I have to limit my pepper growing (since I don't actually have a place to grow them and have to house my peppers at a friend's place), I am super curious to taste more varieties. Maybe add 1 or 2...

    Yellow leaves - should I worry?

    Hey everyone,   It's occurred to me recently that I may have a problem with one of my peppers. I noticed a couple of days ago that its leaves were more yellowish than the other 2 datil plants I am growing. All 3 are treated identically except for I have the other 2 in a different location, where...

    harvesting Datil Harvest

    Hello everyone! In early May, I took a trip to St. Augustine, where I'd lived for a few years and fell in love with datil peppers. Sentiment got the better of me and even though I didn't have a good sunny spot, I bought 3 datil pepper plants on my way out of town. I put them in 5 gallon pots...

    Growing Datil Peppers with Supplemental Light

    Hi there,   I foolishly bought 3 datil pepper plants yesterday as I was leaving St. Augustine (I lived there and loved datil pepper jelly and other datil pepper products). I knew this was a bad idea even as I did it, because my home is not conducive to growing anything that needs light. I am...
