The last few years that I've started a glog I have failed to maintain the thing, and I end up feeling bad about it. But I do want to share with y'all this short video of my plants in the shade tent last Saturday (April 27), just before we put them in the beds. There are 69 Capsicum chinense...

This year my glog will (necessarily) be all-YouTube-all-the-time, and that's all I'm saying about that...This post, featuring my Capsicum chinense plants, should follow a video of my Capsicum annuum plants, which have already been outdoors for several weeks, but that video will have to come...

My every season starts with Texas Pequin, because it never stops growing. A few weeks back we dug up about 30 of these perennial plants to rescue them from the relentless march of the upcoming super hots...  

Long-time THP veterans mourned the loss last August of Amarillo, Texas musician/songwriter/silversmith/chilehead Erin Mason, known to us here on the boards as P. Dreadie. Erin was an enigma, one of the most interesting and creative, yet gentle and loving guys I ever knew. Many of us may be...

For the last couple of years my season has finished up after the subsequent season had already started…I sowed my 2016 seeds last Saturday, but my 2015 Chile Manzano are just now bearing ripe fruit, 3 days later. Is it worth waiting over a year after sowing to get ripe fruit from these plants...

I met this girl, Maci Gauthreaux, a chemical engineering student at UL Lafayette, at Troy Primo's booth at the Louisiana Hot Sauce Expo last Saturday. An extraordinarily intelligent young woman, and a real live wire, she is developing new methodology for measuring capsaicin content in chile...

To workaround YouTube's forced down-rezzing of my video, I'm attempting to embed a .mp4 movie in a post. It's already hosted in my DropBox public folder, and the link opens a new window and streams nicely. What I don't have the knowledge to do is embed an index image in the post, a la YouTube...

It was from my own inaction that I missed so many of my awesome THP friends over most of last season…I will not lie, it's much more convenient to post pix—and do just about anything—on that other very popular social media site, but there's no place there to maintain a grow log…Those of you who...

Not one of mine…I told Carlos I would post it here. Looks too small to be a Cherry Pepper and definitely too large to be Chiltepin…I've got no info on the plant habit, etc., just the photo   Thanks!  

I gave my co-worker Bob some chile plants again this year. He's got some of them  in containers at his hunting camp, but the bulk of them are in the ground back in a clearing behind the camp…He snapped these pix of his container plants today:   F3 Red NagaBrain. The leaf detritus in the dirt is...

Got some sheet pots in from Grower Supply a couple days ago. I got this type so I could pull out the individual containers and replace them if need be, and they fit perfectly in my 11" x 22" Permanest Trays. Anybody in NW Louisiana need a couple of these? If I keep growing the same size garden...

I think little million-scoville "poppers" would be awesome....maybe Chiltepin-sized or even Thai-Chile-or-Tabasco sized...   Anyone? Spicegeist?

It's REALLY intrusive....

Back in the spring I gave one of my coworkers a few Chupetinha seedlings, and later on a few other young plants, including Cumari do Para (capsidadburn), Kitchen Pepper Peach (datil), and a Yellow 7 (Hippy). He carried them to his hunting camp, potted them up in MG Potting Mix, and has done...

Or you will go straight to hell!  

Finally got me some lights and a heat mat... The trays are the self-watering Burpee 32-cell type..Hopefully they will maintain more consistent moisture levels. This is what I sowed: C. chinense MoA Scotch Bonnet (STEVE954), 6 Madame Jeanette (Meatfreak), 6 Bahamian Goat (FadeToBlack), 6...

Since it's not a commercial site, I'm not really upset, but it would have been nice for someone to at least give me credit. Photos #1 #3 are mine: http://chilibase.inf...=Numex Jalmundo Does anyone know whose site this is?

Anyone have seeds?

Whenever I Google the accepted THP/Hippy Seed Co. spelling of "Bonda ma Jacques" the only hits I get with that spelling always seem to lead back to THP or Hippy Seed Co. (or Hippy's YouTube page). That always seemed strange to me, assuming that spelling is the same one they use in the Caribbean...

This is all of it I could eat over the course of breakfast and lunch today. My Yellow 7s are not as hot as this chile:
