    2023 grow has started!

    I just got back from India, so I’m starting a week or two later than normal. Pictured are Surti Marcha or Surat Chili, supposedly the hottest chili used in Gujarat. I’m excited to try and grow some. As they are very similar to Thai chillies, most people wouldn’t be as excited as me to grow...

    misc How old is/was your oldest hot pepper plant?

    Chile Puya (or Pulla)

    I buy these dried at a local tienda, so I don't NEED to grow them, BUT I was wondering if anyone has grown them? I was also wondering if anyone has tried them green (unripe)? If they are useful green, I may consider growing a few, instead of just buying them (very cheap) at the store. I'm...

    Any info on Chile Ciruela (El Salvador) or Chile Guaque (El Salvador/Guatemala)??

    Just wondering if anyone has any experience with any of these chiles from El Salvador? They may be just local names for a chile with a different name in Mexico? Thanks!

    Fragrant Aji Amarillo Leaves

    Has anyone else noticed a somewhat strong smell coming from their aji amarillo leaves? I notice this on my plants when I move the leaves around while inspecting, moving, or transplanting. It is somewhat of a unique smell to me, somewhere between a poblano pod and a datura leaf. It's not a bad...
