    Eight Years Later - Brooklyn Grow Log

    So here we go. A long time ago, I posted a grow log here. I was rocking a fire escape garden in the middle of Bushwick and it worked. I started in May and actually got a good crop all the way through to late October. Not as good as the one I got the following year when I started seeds in...

Some say just add salt, others say add enough to create a protective coating on top of the pepper concentrate. Some say...

    So yeah, I think I just caught my local supermarket stocking the shelves. Just thought I'd share how lucky I got. Living in an immigrant-heavy area of Brooklyn has its perks when it comes to the sort of food you can find around here. And this is what I'm doing with them: A small pot of hot...

    LF Fefferoni Seeds?

    So, a while back my dad brought some pickled hot fefferoni peppers from one of his trips to Miami, and we used them to spice up a bunch of cucumber pickles. Basically we tossed them all into a Balasamic Vinegar Brine with a few spices and they turned out amazing. I'm looking for Fefferoni...

    4-5 Inch Habs Budding?

    So, heavy rains over here in the last few days; I'm surprised my habs even survived the waterfall that is half of my fire escape. (I've since realized that I have half as much growing space as i thought I did, so no tomatos this year). Anyways, one of my habaneros just started budding. And it's...
