Anybody have any experiences with this site? There's a few varieties I haven't seen else where that look pretty interesting. www.tomatobob.com

I found this and thought it would be useful, but maybe i'm not really sure I'm understanding it right. I live in Half Moon Bay, so it's saying there's a 90% chance of it being 36 degrees or less on January 16th?

I was thinking about how there are a lot of really hot small peppers (like the bird peppers) and got to wondering if they could hang with the super hots by weight. Obviously a single super would be significantly hotter then any of the small peppers, but what about a handful of the small peppers...

We live on a well so sometimes water conservation can get critical. I want to build a rain catch to water my plants, but large containers of standing water around here is just asking for a problem. So I want to devise a way (or if anyone knows a product that already exists) to get free rain...

I have a habanero plant that is covered in blooms but has yet to show a single pod. There's some flower drop but nothing that seems alarming. In the same greenhouse my anaheim, serrano, much nacho, and hot banana have fruit all over the place. There's ladybugs everywhere and I open the doors...

My seed stock is growing as I'm starting to order varieties to grow for next season and I feel its about time I put things in better order. I like the idea of being able to see what and how much I have relatively quickly vs. dumping out the stash of baggies and looking at them one by one. I'm...

A co-worker gave me two chiles today that he has no idea what they are. I ate one and it was hotter than a jalapeno but nothing intense. Quick heat that didn't stick around for very long. Very thin walled and seedy. Kinda looks somewhat tabasco-ish to me, but I'm not really sure. Both were...

Had a hard day at work and there was no cold beer in the fridge :( so i turned to the hard stuff. Decided to go with tequila and sierra mist, and tossed in a splash of orange juice for good measure. Has a similar quality to a margarita so I decided to call it a poor man's margarita, although I...

Ever seen this before? One of my guajillo sprouted with three leaves instead of the usual two. Looks pretty interesting and I'm wondering what affect it will have on the rest of the plants growth.

I randomly get in the mood for a guinness, but I actually don't really like them a whole hell of a lot. I usually get the 4 pack of cans, have one or two and let friends have the rest when they come over. I've got one can left from my last craving and don't really see myself drinking it...

I decided to only plant one seed per cell in my jiffy trays so that I could keep better track of germination rates, but in my row of chocolate bhuts one cell has two sprouts. My best guess is that I goofed and one of the sprouts is actually a 7 pot that was supposed to go in the cell next to...

This past Sunday was the due date for our first baby. We've had a couple of false alarms but would give anything for her to go into real labor now lol. We've been doing just about everything a google search for "home labor induction" turns up and have had no luck. I can't wait to meet my son...

I'm toying around with the idea of getting this: http://www.amazon.com/Hydrofarm-4-Foot-Start-Light-System/dp/B0001XLSGQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1309385706&sr=8-2 It's not a whole lot of cash and seems like it's a decent product, plus it comes with bulbs. Would I be better off just buying a...

currently in my jiffy, I sowed 7 pot, Choc Bhut, Fatali, NuMex Big Jim, Mayan Love, and Aji Lemon Drops all at the same time. I now have a couple of fatali sprouts which made me think that the annuums must be about to break surface any day, but the 2nd to pop up was one of the choc bhuts lol...

This is definitely my best sauce yet. Nice and sweet without being too sweet or tart, and some pretty decent heat. Not overwhelming but it lets you know when you've used too much. I'm really glad i decided to grill the pineapple as i think it really developed the pineapple flavor. I used 13...

I was originally staying away from growing varieties that are available at local markets and save space to grow the stuff that would be hard to get my hands on, but have decided after buying a hab and anaheim plant from my nursery that I might as well grow a few other "staple" varieties as well...

I've made a couple of sauces now and I've really enjoyed the flavor of them a lot, I just can't seem to get my heat the way I want it. I made a chipotle and cascabel sauce, and a mango hab sauce. Both sauces have a decent amount of heat, but it really doesn't hit until after you've swalloed a...

Sorry if this has already been asked a hundred times, but my search results didn't really get what I was looking for. I'm just curious what measures can be taken to prevent cross pollination. I saw someone had isolation cages which looked interesting, but also expensive and I'm planning on...

My wife and I had lunch at our favorite taqueria today and at the counter the had a basket of serranos out to add a little heat to your meal. Of course i saw this and was like "sweet, free seeds!!!" so my wife laughs at me and I grab one. Not that serrano seeds are all that pricey but I...

Hey guys, I went to my local nursery today to look at germination supplies and also peeked at their pepper plants as well. I noticed they had some labeled simply habanero and not orange, yellow, red, paper lantern, etc. etc., and I've also seen some seed packets online that are the same way...
