So, I expected that Fatalii pods were supposed to be yellow. Mine are orange and several have tails. OOPS! Is this possible for true Fatalii peppers, or are these a cross? I have 5 plants and there seems to be some variation in pod shape between them, one plant has smaller pods with a couple...

After reading several other threads, I started getting nervous. I figured if Patrick was starting already, I'd better get my backside in gear. After growing the standard first timers peppers last year, I decided it was time to branch out a bit this year. My list so far includes: Bhut Jolokia...

Last year, Smokemaster passed some of these seeds to me. Of the five seeds, I managed to kill off four of them. I kept the sole surviving plant isolated in the house ever since. I saved seeds from several peppers and ran germination tests on them. Got 80% to grow in 21 days. Grew three of...

Thanks for all of the information and advice from all of you. Its sad to see the end of my first year growing peppers. The year was crazy as far as gardening goes. Warm early in May, followed by drought and high winds in late May and June, with too much rain and coolest temperatures on record...

After months of waiting, mouth watering every time I read about how much people on this site like them, I finally got to pick one today. The plant was planted out the first week of June and this little bugger appeared by late June. And I waited, and waited, and waited some more. Brought it...

Anyone ever heard of skunks eating peppers? Late last night I had a skunk let loose right by the house. I ran to close all of the windows and then tried to figure out what set the darn thing off. Dogs were inside so not them. Got the spot light out and peered through the kitchen window. Saw...

It seems like I've had the chance to learn first hand that much of the advice on this forum is worth its weight in pepper pods. A quick thank you to everyone that offers advice to all of us noobs! Forgot what it means to be patient this spring and planted half of my starts out in late May...

Once again, had a thunderstorm overnight that produced high winds and torrential downpours. Fortunately no more hail! I've got 45 plants out, half since late May, most of the rest out since the first week of June. Had to replant eight up to this point due to weather damage. Almost lost a...

My, it has been a busy spring. Finally getting caught up. Weather has been tough so far. Either hot and windy or cloudy and windy. Only seen 32/100ths of rain in almost six weeks. Hardening off has been a challenge. Lost a few plants to wind damage. Went to work with a northwest wind and...

Here is what I woke up to this morning. Trying to keep a positive outlook. I guess this is why plant out date is late May around here.

Though I enjoy the fruity flavor of habaneros, I like the flavor of serranos much better. Any peppers that have the serrano flavor with the habanero heat?

I was at the store and saw a packet of Burpee mixed pepper seeds for a buck. I couldn't resist so I bought them. The packet contains Anaheim, Long red slim Cayenne, Jalapeno M, Serrano, and Hungarian Hot wax. I'm most interested in the Anaheim, Hungarian, and Serrano. The seeds were...

I'm new to the forum and want to thank everyone for all of the information I've picked up on my new hobby. This will be the first year I've grown my own. I have a good idea of the main peppers I want in my garden, but I have a question someone here may be able to help me with. I had an old...
