Been a crazy year, haven't kept up here but have in all my home gardens. I picked up a few aero gardens (including the bounty elite so its taller/bigger). I attempted to cross my own peppers this year and have seeds from it. I've used the aero for lettuce and basil thus far and its simple...

I'm responding to add my current experiences with PJ's here. I don't mean for any of this to bash, but better inform others based on my experiences and what I've learned this year. This past year was my first year growing from seed. Previous years I only had a few nursery bought plants. Sometime...

If you've been following my glog (http://thehotpepper.com/topic/73278-my-zone-6a-ct-1st-time-growing-from-seed/) know the good growing season I've had for a first year larger pepper garden. I don't physically have space to move my entire army inside; but I do have 1 of my reapers I'd like to try...

I've been posting in my glog (http://thehotpepper.com/topic/73278-my-zone-6a-ct-1st-time-growing-from-seed/) this year as my first year starting from seed and growing. Been a wonderful year, tons of experience, and a whole lot of fun. Downside I've found that a seed source I used didn't turn out...

Is it pretty normal for first reapers to non-conform to typical shape? I've got pictures of the plant/peppers and their shape is highly variable, from the habanero look to a ghost look to the newer growth peppers more strictly typical reaper shape. It almost seems as the plant goes it's getting...

I'm going through this morning taking some photos of my peppers to finally update my Grow log http://thehotpepper.com/topic/73278-my-zone-6a-ct-1st-time-growing-from-seed and came across some bugs I can't identify. Across all my gardens I've found aphids, mealy bugs, spiders, preying mantis...

I purchased these seeds off Pepper Joe last fall, they were purchased as red scotch bonnets. Well, I very well could be color blind, but as far as I can tell, these are not red, and they are definitely not scotch bonnets. I tried them, they got some punch to the heat (as green). I've had them as...

These are the peppers I've been growing, found a few with these white looking bumps around the veins on top & below leave. They don't rub off, it's not bugs, it's almost like vessicles stored along veins area.     Would this be edema? aka over watering? I do bottom water and let them dry out...

This is my first time growing peppers from seed. Previous years I’ve only bought a few nursery grown. Sometime last year I found a passion for growing peppers, and here I am now. Spent end of last summer/early fall planning out indoor grow needs with supplies, buying seeds, getting everything I...

The past few days I noticed a change on some of the leaves on my seedlings. I noticed they had this darker brown/yellow/black type thing on leaves going on, near the ends of each leave. Seems to go through all the way through leave. I trimmed off those leaves and separated tehe seedlings from...

I found a passion for growing in my gardens the past half decade. What started as buying plants at the local nursery, has turned into a quest to grow from seed. Last year I had a orange habanero that was special, For some reason it really stuck out to me, and everything clicked. I invested a lot...
