thought i would retire here in the beautiful city of Calgary but i have to move. Calgary is in the Province of Alberta and I am destined for a move to the Province of Ontario approximately 1,500 miles away.   i lost my job in the 2008 recession and have never been able to secure full time...

i have never in my life seen this before but potato plants with small tomato looking fruit growing on them - didn't even know it existed.   they are not my plants but my neighbours, he called me over to see this rare event.   apparently the potato fruit may have seed and if you plant the seed a...

can't say much more about the picture, it's worth a 1,000 words as the old adage goes. (yes i bought some).   it is almost not worth my time growing ghosts. i've standardize on dorset naga as they produce for me in the same growing year and i've had success with bombay morich once i get the...

this is my second year in attempting to grow Aji Peruvian. last year i tried in 2 separate batches and this year just 1 batch so far.   the plants are always started in promix, then moved to potting soil when potting up, the plants get to about 4" tall and then this. it doesn't appear to be a...

I am about to harvest the seed from this plant and i believe it is a chocolate bhut but am looking for feedback with other opinions, mainly so i can name my seed bag something other than "brown pimpled pods - 2015".  my past attempts to grow chocolate bhuts from a good vendor supply have all...

every so often i do the "best tasting tomato" search on google and a couple years ago the rave was caspian pink. many stated the caspian pink rivalled the pink brandywine, so i had to have the seeds. purchased them for 2015 grow, side by side pink brandywine vs caspian pink.   well, got to try...

not looking for a pepper id cause i don't care what it is. did a trade with member greentea back in 2012/13 and the only thing i thought of his tiny collection that was worth trading was his wiri wiri seed. spent the last couple of years trying to grow them but they would hit 3" then just crisp...

So, it really has been a challenge growing the super hotties in my environment, if it isn't just too cold, it is just too dry. Many times it has taken 2 years to see pods of a hottie and sometimes plants don't make it through the overwintering. example, to date i have never been successful with...

Looking for confirmation on this pepper. No i didn't drop my seed tray nor did i mislabel, this is the infamous attempt at a Peppermania mystery seed. (for those that don't know, Peppermania staples a small baggie of mystery seeds(25 seeds) to the back of their business card included with every...

just an FYI for those that are space cowboys, the ISS has live video/audio streaming via several cameras that change at certain times so you get different views with 1 view inside the ISS where you can listen to communication between onboard crew members and ground crew.   i was 7 years old when...

so, i am not looking for an exact id, most bulk store peppers may have some hybrid in them.   i picked these guys up today because of their shape and being in the orange hab bin thought i would see how they fair - there were others with this shape and many orange hab shaped. the flavour is mild...

i have seen many recipes on the internet where the chefs initially use hot peppers then discard them and continue on cooking. i have also seen it done with garlic - i always just chop and cook.   aside from no seeds, what other benefits would there be to removing the chili during the cooking...

i'll start by saying i am not looking for pod identification; the purpose is to point out these came from the greenhouse that supplies the Home Depot, labels were large and glossy - i wonder if Home Depot would care at all? Wonder if monsanto/seminis would care that their plants were...

so april 23 i ground up red scotch bonnets with some salt and put them into a jar.   almost 8 weeks later it should just about be ready to process. 2 weeks ago i did get some separation and the lid started to pop but pushed it back down.   if i get some cheese cloth and strain the must, i am not...

2pm..... 6C outside........20 feet away.... 30C. tomatoes love it. gotta love new camera technology, didn't even have to leave the deck to snap the thermometer, bet i could focus in on an aphid with this camera.

so i was bored and saw this at the local library...... can't believe Ritchie Cunningham was a partial tough guy.... man, my mind is escaping me! what a great flic!

didn't think i would ever run across this but alas, it has happened to me. (i am not looking for pepper identification - this is just a page from the burning colon's life lessons learned book) so last year, i was visiting one of those organic health food stores and to my surprise they had hot...

Okay folks, most of you know that i don't live in a very hot pepper friendly grow area. this means no outside in ground growing for peppers - i live in a zone 3a. this means my hot pepper growing is confined to indoor growing.......until this year! yes it is nice in the summer, we really don't...

the wife leaves Sunday for Houston for a week with work. i don't know if she will get a chance to step out and look for peppers but those of you in the Houston area, anyone know of a grocery store that may carry "yellow scotch bonnets". i have enough of the others, all i need is yellow scotch...
