Only let it go for 5 weeks, but I have several others going and I wanted to get this processed today, as I am OUT of savory pepper sauce! This was a combo of ripe fresno, jalapeno, Bhut's, Fatalli, Datils, and anything else that I had on hand.... oh and a TON of fresh garlic! Removing the...

So tonight I wanted to make a chili / garlic paste for new ferment sauce. By weight, I used an equal amount of GARLIC as Bhut's, Butch, and Habs. Juice of one lime 1/2 apple cilantro 1 Tbs whey from Greek yogurt. After processing them tonight, the smell was so awesome I had to lick the...

I just came across several pounds of nice, RIPE, fruity jalapeno's, and thought I would make a fermented sauce but then I had another idea. ... SMOKE SAUCE !! I sliced every one of them, and smoked them over apple wood. I let the fire get pretty warm so it was smoke, roast, and soften all...

This is gonna be TASTY !!!! About 25% garlic by weight. I tasted it on a chip, and it is certainly HOT !!!! Gonna ferment it for as long as I can stand to wait. I wish I had procured enough peppers to fill the gallon jar, but I will just make another batch! Airlock on top, plastic disc cut...

This heat has prevented my Datil, and Fatalli from setting fruit. This has been the most depressing year EVER for growing chili's! If any of you have any "extra" I would love to buy enough for a few bottles of sauce!! Thank you SO very much!! PS. I also make REALLY cool amulets, bracelets...

After all the back breaking work I've done it looks like I could be fighting some "nasties"! All plants are in huge 20-40 gal pots, 100% OLD compost. I am pretty stingy with the water, but I am wondering about drainage.... I guess they COULD be waterlogged, but i really doubt it. Any ideas? (I...

I am potting my peppers today, and since I have grown in the ground my entire life, I am fretting over what pots to use! Here is what I have to work with, and I am potting in some AWESOME homemade screened compost! Could I plant multiple plants in some of the LARGE pots? Thank you so much...

I am growing some Fatalli, and Datil in pots this year. If I want them to produce to their full potential, what size pots can I get away with? Thanks Kat

Every year I make jams, sauces, and salsa's using Fatali, Datil, and Orange habanero. I also use a little pineapple, peach, lime, and mango as well. Do any of you have any other ideas for some SUPER FRUITY yet hot, peppers that I could add into the mix? PS.... I need some Datil plants but...

Here is our new "baby"

* BENEFITS.... not "Befefits" .... sheesh, too much beer last night!!! I make a lot of fermented vegetables, but I have never made a fermented hot sauce. What are the benefits of fermentation over my usual vinegar, lime juice, cooking etc? Thanks a ton! Kat

This may be old news to a lot of you but this kid is a STUD!

I know this may not be in the correct forum, but I am racing against time... So much has happened!!! A divorce, and a move will REALLY hamper your pepper growing!! I have been in a depressing apartment for over a year, and now I am about to move into a HOUSE with a garden! Would any of you...

So much has happened!!! A divorce, and a move will REALLY hamper your pepper growing!! Would any of you out there have any Datil, Fatali, and or Habanero seeds left? I would even be THRILLED to pay for plants plus shipping !! I just dont know how succesful I would be starting from seeds in...

It looks like it is staying yellow!! Are there Yellow Douglah's out there?

Last fall I assumed my lone Douglah was doomed.... I left it out through MULTIPLE hard freezes before I decided to try and save it. I literally ripped it out of the ground and stuffed it into a pot. I then BUTCHERED all the foliage off, so I was basically left with a dead stick in a pot in plain...

I have a pork butt that I want to smoke for "carnitas" burritos. Should I brine the meat first? Never smoked a butt before. ANY tips would be VERY welcome!!!! Kat!

Growing the WHITE Habanero this year. Any opinions on it? Does it have any real flavor? Heat level etc. I am also growing the giant Aconcagua this year for the kids.... are they as sweet as the reviews say? I had Marconi last year and it was as sweet as fruit!!!! :P Jimmy Nardello is another...

starting seeds today and I am on the fence about a few. I am more interested in flavor that all out heat, as I have other peppers for that. I am a big fan or citrus / fruity ie. Datil, Fatalii etc. Arivivi or aribibi gusano Rocoto or Manzano (any color) Thanks a ton! Kat

I got this soil-less potting mix to start my seeds in and the stuff WILL NOT moisten!! I have watered from the top and the trays are sitting in an inch of water and STILL, when you poke the mix, it is powder dry under the surface!! Anyone else ever experience this? Is so any idea how to deal...
