First year for Joe E., six plants. Also have sahuaro, anaheim tmr, and 6-4. Wanted to try Joe E. because supposedly they are THE mild numex variety and the 65 day grow sounded good. So far, less than impressed! They are less than half the plant size of the others, no flowering while the...

Posting from within a topic, nothing happens when I hit reply button. Have to go into more reply options to get it to work. Not an issue when on the PC. Anyone else having this issue? Also, when not logged in, get a cancel/submit popup when I navigate back to a prior page. Neither is a...

I’ve typically not had any significant problems with seed germination in the past. This year I’ve experienced two impossible to germinate varieties, Bonda Ma Jacques and Harold’s St. Barts. Two restarts in my usual germination medium and now in wet paper towel/ziplock/heat...

He's had cancer for a number of years and took a turn for the worst this last week. Still saddened by this. Had a truly unique voice and was a key component in making The Band who they were; the best group making authentically American rock music EVER. If Ophelia doesn't get your toe tapping...

An American institution for three generations. Those of us of a certain age fondly remember A. B. on saturday afternoons.

Are there any BB fans here........or is the THP a football only crowd. If so, the NCAA BB tourney is a great time of year to be a sports fan. Who you got in your brackets? Who's your cinderella? Vandy could be a real sleeper. My avatar tells my story......Go Green!!!!!

A couple of fresh salsas I make using lemon drops (fresh pods and also can use aji powder). Grilled Pineapple Salsa 1 ripe pineapple, peeled, cored and cut into ¼-inch slices ¼ cup red bell pepper, seeded and diced 4 minced hot peppers (aji lemon drops), or powder to desired...

Are Piri Piri and Malagueta peppers the same or different species? I am getting conflicting information from my searches so far. If different, any seed source for the Piri Piri (have the Malagueta covered). I want to grow and supply the correct pepper for making piri piri sauce to a friend...

Trying to come up with a dessert for Christmas utilizing my chile stash. I have mild and hot in dried, frozen and powdered forms. So far I've not been able to come up with that "wow" dessert. Any ideas THP? TIA.

A question for the sauce experts. I have been using a sauce that was made back in October; a basic Fresno sauce with the usual ingredients and white vinegar. It has been stored in a woozy in the refrigerator since it was made. I have been using it three or so times a week. For the last week...

After reading much of the material on this forum, I’ve taken the plunge and started my first ever pepper mash today with some leftover frozen yellow habs. and fataliis. The details: Vessel: One quart canning jar, airlock attached to canning lid. Boiled (sterilized) for 20 minutes. Receipe: 16...

Been reading the numerous mash threads on this forum with curiosity. I have a simple question to ask: Why mash sauce making vs. non-mash method? The process seems much more involved. Is it taste, storage capabilities/safety, capability of using less vinegar in the finished sauce? I’m just...

My choice is Steve Young. No not the QB that used to play for SF. This guy: http://www.amazon.com/Renegade-Picker-No-Place-Fall/dp/B00005NOTC/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1294069031&sr=1-1 Absolutely top notch singer, musician and song writer extraordinaire. I’ve been a fan since the...

It’s that time of the year and I am thinking about pepper seeds I guess. I have another “bq” that is in need of opinion from the forum experts. It is related but different from an earlier post titled “Multiplicity of Pepper Varieties”. I’ve saved seeds from many of the varieties grown last...

I have a “bq” (burning question) for the experts relative to the multiplicity of pepper varieties, specifically those labeled in some form as naga or morich. I understand that the origin is part of the nomenclature. In surfing around for new seeds this year, I see Bombay Morich, Naga Morich...

Here it is not even Christmas with 7” of snow on the pepper patch and I’m thinking about what to grow next season. The season just past was a very effective first year growing serious seed started chilies. I still have bags in the freezer that I’ve been using for sauce (more than I can use or...

Thinking ahead to how I want to plant out the "crop" this year, I began to wonder if I should be concerned on placement (besides height, spacing issues). I want to save seeds this year for next year's grow. Is cross pollination a concern? An example: If Scotch Bonnet TFM plants were in...

Peppers are growing, getting their second and third sets of leaves. Water (mist spray) everyday and they have received a diluted dose of plant food. They are appx. 3" under 4' double T8 6500k FL running 18 hours a day. I am beginning to notice some yellowing on the leaf edges. Is this a...

New to the seed starting game. Any of you "pros" have ideas on making your own heat pads. Water bed heaters are as expensive as seed starter pads, wary of drugstore type heat pads. I'm thinking about water pipe heater tape that I would attach to plywood and then set my starter trays on. Cost...
