Good luck on the season! Glad you're back can't wait to see how awesome the garden will be! I still remember those scorpion trees you had your relative growing.

  After 5 minutes I'm still trying to comprehend this. Typical of the individuals in HOA boards though.   That bush looked awesome. How exactly did they find out and decide it needs to be removed? There are ornamental peppers after all.

Good work, Judy! Can't wait to see what'll be in the pipeline in the future.

I like those terraced raised beds, looks very tidy.

Gnarliest. Do these descend from red brain strains?   I see on your site you have Brown 7 Pod, but you describe it as being larger than the Douglah. I have grown brown 7 pods, and they had the same cylindrical shape as in your photos, but they were smaller than Douglahs. Any thoughts and...

Howdy,   Figure I'd show off a little, knowing how much I like enjoying everyone elses pepper gardens. This is my superhot garden. Trying out drip irrigation this year, and going back to straw mulch. I highly recommend IrrigationDirect for the supplies.   It was a late spring this year, but the...

1000bulbs.com has T5's for a good price. I got 25 4' T5HO bulbs for around $85 delivered.

  What can cause all of your seeds to not germinate?

Good luck! Whenever a seedling pops out with extra cotyledons I always hope it'll turn out polyploid.   Are you basing this on any specific previous experiments? What are you going to be looking for as a marker of polyploidy?

What's the diagnosis for leaves becoming very pale yellow?   I repotted mine from Pro-Mix to a 50/50 peat and perlite mix to get the acidity up. The plant seemed to do respond well at first, but then began to yellow all over. I'm thinking it needs the acidity increased more with some sulfur.

Yellow Scorpion CARDI is an excellent cultivar that produces beautiful, large, golden, delicious, not-too-hot fruit in prolific quantities. It's one of the best peppers I've ever grown, can't praise it enough.   This is what all of mine look like and what I believe is the true phenotype:  

Have you ever successfully grown 4 1020 trays of pepper seedlings to plantout size with 4 T12 bulbs?

http://thehotpepper.com/topic/20747-peat-moss-vs-coco-coir/ http://thehotpepper.com/topic/12728-growing-chillis-in-coco-how-to-do-it/   North American peat bogs are not in any danger and coir is not so great for the environment either.     I agree that perlite and vermiculite are different and...

I'm going to be doing drip for the first time this year also.   Here's some information I found useful. There are other tutorials on drip irrigation as well.   http://www.irrigationdirect.com/expert-advice/drip-irrigation-tutorials/general-overview...

You can use a carboard box or plastic tote and some lightbulbs the same way, no need for an oven. You can get a heating mat fairly inexpensively, though.   This is probably the cheapest solution: http://www.reptilebasics.com/12-heat-tape http://www.reptilebasics.com/thg-amp-wireset

Hello,   I came across this five part series of articles on soilless potting mixes by Professor Bob Tripepi on the University of Idaho Extension website titled What Is Your Substrate Trying to Tell You.   What was useful for me is that he goes in depth into pH measurement and adjustment, but I...

  Chlorine is most common, but chloramine is used in some locations. You can call or e-mail your local water municipality to find out what they use.   If you are concerned, you can eliminate chloramine instantly with the addition of 30 mg of sodium metabisulfite or 35 mg of potassium...

I've read that sodium hypochlorite (bleach) soaking stimulates germination of pepper seeds. I don't know the exact mechanism, but perhaps straight fresh municipal tapwater is not a bad choice.   http://aces.nmsu.edu/pubs/research/horticulture/CTF5.pdf   I know you can't read it, but there's a...

Spraying with chamomile tea or hydrogen peroxide works great for keeping mold and damping off in check.
