Happy 4th of July everyone, I’m planning my next season peppers and I’ve come to realize that while I do like my sugar rush peach my 2nd year plants seem a lot hotter than I recall. Iwould like to have something a bit milder for snacking.  Currently trying to grow Charapita Brazilian starfish...

Hi all we had 3 days of 90 degree weather here last week. I pulled the potted plants to a shady spot while they were chilling I gave them a dose of organicide for the white fly problems and now Im. Or if a few plants that had firm peppers are going soft and shriveled anyone have an idea of why ?

I didnt get a picture of these little guys but they like to play hide and seek around the stalk or leaves when you see them. Are they bad for the plant if so how to get rid of them Thanks all

I’m in So Cal I have 3 plants from last season that are doing pretty well. Especially two of the little ones from last season that have really been taking off. They have been growing in pretty much full shade. I just put one under my 75 percent uv screen and within 30 minutes the leaves are...

I have been using the Alaska 5 1 1 with good results can I continue through the whole season even when it’s fruiting or should I move to a more calcium based food ?   thanks 

Hi all I think most of these are baccatum and a few are aji they don’t seem to take direct sun very well at all. Sugar rush, aji Colorado, Charapita and star fish pretty much within an hour or two in 75 to 80ish temps they just start to wilt. If I were to leave the younger 2 month old plants out...

Hello all from So Cal,   been a weird start to the season but my overwintered plants seem to for the most part do well. I have one Charapita that grew last year to about a foot to two feet high it stayed small no matter what I did. it kicked a heap of really tiny fruit and they are still on it...

Hi All,    This is my first year overwintering. I've done most of my SRP's which was fairly straight forward since they have several branches low on the stalk. The Scorpion plants only have a handful and they are more spread out I'm just not sure how far down to cut them, has anyone overwintered...

Hi All,    I was cleaning up some dead leaves etc off the pepper plants last night and saw a very strange bug. I wish I had a picture of it, but it was long and narrow, black in color but when i tried to look at it the bug would move quickly around the stem  to the other side of the plant to...

Hello all you pepper heads,    I'm here in So Cal and the plants did pretty good this season, my first season back growing. I've never overwintered before so I decided to go for it this year. Our season isn't done yet by a long shot but I decided to practice on some SRP's and sweet pepper plants...

HI fellow chili heads,    So I've been waiting for my Yellow Scorpion plants to ripen out and they seem to be coming along now in full force. I noticed on one plant that they peppers are half yellow ripe and the bottoms are still unripe green but they are getting soft on top like an over ripe...

I have this one Scorpion plant that I keep getting these type of peppers, is this BER if so how do I correct it, so sad to lose these nice looking peppers. PS these plants are mostly shaded for the last month or so with little direct sun   Thanks in advance and have a great weekend. 

I went out to have a look at my Scorpion plant to see how the peppers were coming along and check for caterpillars when I see this guy looking at me through the leaves. It seems to be keeping an eye on things for the time being =). Hope it finds plenty of bugs and caterpillars.     

Hi All,    My SRP's have been doing great pumping out peppers and the shaded ones are super green and full of leaves. I noticed lately several leaves with this new thing going on its like the leaves are translucent after something is eating them but I can't tell what. I've recently sprayed with...
