Former member here, but haven’t visited in many years…when I tried my old login, I was rejected…so here I am now!

I haven't been here in a while, so I decided to give it another go (I stayed away because the segregated "extreme" part of the site didn't set too well with me - made me think of George Orwell's book "Animal Farm"...you know, the one where "all animals are equal...except for pigs" - I'm certain...

Does anyone here have access to Chiltepin seeds?  If so, I'd like to buy a small portion (say, enough to grow 1-4 plants) for next year's crop.  Since I don't typically start any of my peppers from scratch, but rely on my local nursery to purchase seedlings, this would be my first attempt at...

I'm looking for a place in the Mt. Laurel, NJ area to buy Ghost Chilies & Trinidad Scorpions. Does anyone know of any places?

So, everything is planted - I never start from seeds (too lazy to tend), I always get seedlings from my local produce/nursery (a small mom/pop shop) & have had great results over the past two years (my "noobie" seasons).   This year's crop includes a Ghost chile plant, a couple Scotch Bonnets...

I was told by the nursery where I got it that this was a Trinidad Scorpion.  Can anyone confirm it?  Is it a "Butch T" or a "Moruga" or what?    

What gives?  I've harvested almost all my jalapenos & those that remain seem to be doing fine...except for two, which each have a black side to them (same side, relative to the sun).  I don't think they're gettin burned as most of the others have had this same exposure & they're perfectly fine. ...

Does anyone know what the name of this pepper is?  When I got the plant from my local nursery, they were unsure of the type of pepper, but said it had good flavor & good heat.  I'll let you know about the heat level later when I try it, as these are the first two off the plant.  

This year's crop (2nd year of growing my own) includes Jalapenos (8 plants), habaneros (8 plants), Tabasco (1 plant), cayenne (1 plant) & some new "Brazilian (hot-hot)" plant (I'm not certain what it is exactly, but I'll know soon enough).  In about 2-3 weeks, I'm getting a ghost pepper plant &...

I just don't get the use of vinegar in salsas. For example, most bottled salsas I see in the supermarket contain vinegar, as do most canned or bottled jalapenos. When i have to resort to canned or bottled jalapenos, i find the brands without the vinegar to make a salsa (Ortega, Old El Paso, La...

How do I upload a ".gif" file? I tried saving it to my FaceBook account, but that (somehow) prevented the gif from animating; therefore it was an exercise in futility. I also tried to copy the file directly into a post on this site, but that didn't work either. There must be something I'm...

Your guess is as good as mine...

And need a "fix" & there's no fresh anything in the house to make, I resort to combining these two products (makes a quick, great & hot salsa): Makes a great Con Queso too.....(the Rotel is a 10 oz can & the El Pato is a 7 3/4 oz can)

I never measure anything, so my typical batch of (daily use) salsa never tastes exactly the same - but it's always close. I use tomatoes & peppers from my garden & onions, garlic & cilantro supplied by my local produce stand (not a grocery store) - maybe next year I'll try growing the other...

OK - I've (apparently) become a pepper gardener. Along with tomatoes, I'm now growing Jalapenos, Habaneros, Carribean Reds, Chile Pequins, & (what apparently are) Peruvian Purple Peppers. All varieties are hot & hotter. I'm a little confused by my (alleged) Jalapenos as they were originally...

I purchased a small pepper plant yesterday at my local nursery/produce vendor. They called it a "decorative pepper" plant, but looking at the small (maybe 1/2" to 3/4" long & not a "pointy" type), edible red peppers that are on the plant, it looks to me to be a Chile Pequin or maybe some sort...

I hereby announce my presence on this board. I'm a 51 year old hot pepper "addict", been that way since I was a child (I was breast-fed Tabasco Sauce :mrgreen: ). I hope to find tons of good stuff here..... :mrgreen:
