I am growing some type of Thai pepper. I got the peppers from a local Asian market and they were just labeled Thai hot, about 2-3in long and a little thicker than a pencil. I saved some seeds from the ripe pods and dried them then planted about a little over a month ago. The little guys are now...

Thanks guys! I repotted this evening and plucked off all the small fruit, open flowers, and buds that look like they could open within the week. Now the waiting game.

I started this season with my own potting mix which was equal parts peat moss, top soil, and mushroom compost. Being my first season I quickly learned that this mix was too heavy and compacted and most plants got moved to a different mix earlier with much improved results. I forgot that I had...

3 foot Thanks windchicken Since I moved both of them to new larger pots I planted them a little deeper than they were originally, this shouldn't be a problem for the forked one, since the fork is now under soil, should it? One of the plants had several 6" shoots growing from the very bottom...

I keep a mix of 3/4 cayenne powder and 1/4 cinnamon on hand for all kinds of things, but one of my favorite uses is to put about 1 tsp. in a glass of chocolate milk. Delicious.

Hello everyone. As you can see I am new to the forum. I mentioned in my hello post that I have been stalking here for a while but I have some questions that really motivated me to join. So here is the quick back story. I just started growing this season and it started simply enough with a 6...
