So I know that it's not supposed to be possible to have peppers affect each other, only cross pollinate and affect the seed.  But I've grown my golden greek pepperoncini's and they have been rather warm and I now have a brown pepperoncini on my plant.  Has anyone heard of a brown pepperoncini?

That's crappy. Hope you can salvage some.

Makes me wanna give hydro a try

If you just drag them in then you will have bugs. Just search some of the older posts on the site and you will find out how to prevent them or get rid of if they make it inside. I have 3 plants I picked up late from the Chili Woman that I have never put outside, just to try to overwinter them...

I have worked with guys in the NW U.S. that say the Rocoto / Manzano plants do well there. I plan on testing how well they do in MI next year, but I do grow in containers so I'm sure results will vary.

I have heard if you fertilize with more n and less p that it will keep the plants growing with less flowering. Might be something to look into.

I haven't tried a Butch T yet, but last years yellow scorpions were not good at all. I tried them fresh and dried.

I use my extras to barter. Traded for everything from fresh eggs to fresh fish. I make sure I grow what I can handle and the extras get me some extras.

A heat mat helps speed up the process from what I have seen. Just keep an eye on the temp and moisture.

Judging by last years harvest, the Douglah is hotter than the Bih Jalokia. I really like the flavor too. Definately one of my favorites,

Some of my favorite. Good luck.

Had a couple suicidal pods myself. The rest of the plant and pods are fine, so I assumed it was nothing major.

I have the same thing on a first year Bih Jalokia. Wonder what causes this?

Yes it is. It's the Judge. I had never even shot a Taurus before, but after seeing the promo video I had to get one. It makes a great hallway sweeper for the wife while I am gone. The Ruger LCP is what I carry for travel. It's easy to conceal and accurate for the size. In case anyone...

I done some trading to get my hd and sd in order. Mixed in w/ some time in the corps, I think I'm pretty well covered.

Yes... I used grass clippings. Doesn't get that hot up here but I figured I would see if I noticed any difference. Of course the clippings are free, but I have noticed a dramatic drop in soil temp. I have no real source of shade so I have either full or no sunlight as of now. I will fix that...

I grew up gardening in SW VA and NE TN. Never really needed to help the plants along as much as I do in MI. I'm sure if the next couple years don't work out, (starting earlier each year and hoping the kids take interest) I will have to find something else to use for watering the plants.

Would love to take all the credit, but I got 3 of them from another member here. I picked up 2 Douglahs and the Bih from kcso53. Healthy plants and a generous guy. The kids have some trouble remembering to water them while I'm gone so I lost all the Fatallis and Yellow Bhuts. Guess it helps...

It's been a while since I've posted but there has been some crappy weather here in MI. I have finally managed to get some time off during some decent weather. Here is a pic of what I have potted up so far. [ The left shows the overwintered Yellow Scorpion and Paper lantern. Then a Bih...

It is a plastic pot with drainage holes. I just bought it the day I transplanted the first plant to it. I never thought of cleaning them first, didn't think it would make a difference. I think I will do that from now on. I don't like to put time and effort into my plants just to watch them...
