I have my Capsicum annuum 'Garden Salsa' which is getting some color in the peppers and are about ready to harvest (red) And I have a Habanero type called 'Chichen Itza'  which is ready for harvest,  I have maybe 6 peppers which have now turned orange and are ready for harvest.

I am planning to try outside but right now with low temperatures still in the 30's I am thinking some time in March when the  lows will get up into the 50's or so!  Right now the humidity is about 40% which is relatively dry here in Houston, TX   The chili peppers I am considering from seed will...

If I do try to grow some chili peppers from seed (I don't usually succeed) living here in Houston, TX the humidity is normally relatively high.  What would y'all suggest for growing chili peppers from seed??

Well here is what I ordered from chiliplants.com for 2021 and they will arrive the end of March   Aji Cachucha   (mild Habanero) Amazon Golden Olives  (very hot habanero) Butlah Chocolate (super hot habanero)    new Cayenne Buist's Yellow   (hot cayenne) Chupetinho  (medium habanero) Extra Hot ...

We are just 11 days away from New Year and 2020 will be done.  I am already looking at what I might grow in the Spring by visiting chiliplants.com  I look forward to selecting a bunch of plants to grow in 2021,  I can say that I did pretty well with the plants that I grew in 2020 with a lot of...

Well the humidity can vary from 40% to 95% or higher  And the temperatures currently range from about 70 F to the high 90's  I have not fertilized them lately and the soil has not changed from when I planted them and they all have produced peppers previously.  I water pretty much as needed but...

I am worried about my chili peppers as I have several blooms but they don't seem to be setting fruit.   I hope that they start setting fruit soon as it is pretty hot right now but I might move some of the other  plants to where they get more sun and see if that helps??

Like I said in another post I just don't know how to post pictures in this forum!?

Well I guess I need to figure out how to post pictures in this forum!!  I really do not know how??  I have posted lots of pictures in the National Garden forums of my chili peppers.

Well they are growing well and I have had the opportunity to harvest a lot of different peppers including Peito de Moca, Aji Cachucha, Chupetinho, Cayenne-Buist Yellow, Bod'e Vermelho, and various Serrano peppers.   Of course, I have harvested and need to harvest a bunch of  Devil's Tongue - Red  

I have made up two bottles of habanero sherry which I make using a bottle of Cream Sherry and my habanero type peppers   I maide these bottles one large and one regular 750 ml  In each case I added to the sherry chopped up Capsicum chinense peppers  principally  Devil's Tongue Red and Naga...

Well the plants look good,  I have about 20 chili pepper plants growing in containers and they are doing great right now, with a pretty good crop of chili's  Of course, it is raining right now or I would be out in the garden harvesting my ripe chili's as well as some green serranoes and...

I have one of those type peppers that was a holdover from last year and I am waiting to see what I have?? I know it is a C. chinense and that I have some fruit that are ripening up but right now they are a peach color and I did not  expect that,  I am waiting to see if they turn orange and then...

Well I have several pepper plants in full sun and a bunch with some shade of course that is here in very hot and humid Houston, TX  and I believe that it might just depend on the  variety of chili pepper as to whether it prefers more sun and heat??  I find that several varieties really like more...

I might have to figure out how to add pictures of these plants.   I have two C. chinense I am trying to identify    Here is a picture of the fruit for one of them. I think that the other plant is a Bod'e Vermelho The fruit are small like that variety.   The picture of the fruit is the other...

Hello everyone,   Well my plants are all growing and I actually have fruit on a few of my plants   I have one Hidalgo Pepper and one Naga Viper Pepper   I have some fruit on a Mystery Pepper from last year  and I hope it is identifiable when the fruit gets ripe.   We will see about the others as...

I do need to go ahead and take a bunch of pictures of the chili plants that I have just put in pots Which means I could take at least 19 pictures because of the 30 chili plants I ordered I kept 19 of them and they are all planted in containers and I just need to take the pictures.

I am not a big producer of pics and I would not have a clue on how to post a picture even if I had taken some! So unless someone wants to post some pictures I will have to pass until the plants are much further along and  then I will have to get out there with my camera and try to take some...

Well it is probably one of those "just not meant to be" but the good thing is that all of my chili pepper plants are in place and we are just waiting for flowers and fruit on the plants but since they were planted the first weekend in May I am not expecting anything except growing plants until...

Well when I say nothing I mean there is no sign of any activity for seedlings at all I  really mean nothing.  There is nothing showing in any of the seed starters and I figure that I am just lousy when it comes to trying to grow from seeds.  I just don't  know what to do.  I do fine usually when...
