Hi, A few weeks ago, I told a fellow THP member about my favorite Canadian hot sauce store: Chilly Chiles (http://chillychiles.com). I thought I would share with all of you this great store that offers a great selection of hot sauces of all kinds. I discovered Chilly Chiles about 8 years ago...

I have grown them back in 2011. It was sold to me as Lemon Drop seeds but after realizing it wasn't, I asked on the forum what it really was and it turned out it was Malaysian Habaneros. Tasty pepper, tall plant and fairly mild compared to most habaneros. I saved some seeds back in 2011 and...

Bienvenue du Québec!!!

Hi guys, After being away most of the 2012 season (big move, new house, new job...), I'm back for my very minimal 2013 growing season. Between the chicken coop project, the new garden boxes, the kids and all that, I managed to plant a few seeds. I wish I had more but that's all I could get...

Hi everyone, I am fairly new to the world of hot sauce but I've tried a few brands in the last couple years. I usually like it pretty hot. I have no affiliation with these guys but I usually buy from there in Canada: http://chillychiles.com/ Here's a quick reviews of the ones I liked (in order...

I now leave in Quebec City but lived in Ottawa for several years. There's a good hot sauce store in Ottawa where you can also order on-line: http://chillychiles.com/ I ordered there several times. They have a good selection and good service. Try the 'Melinda's Extra Hot Sauce', good stuff...

Yes you are right. Sorry for the confusion. They ripe ok on the plants but when they're ready, I freeze the thick walled ones such as Bhut Jolokia and Malaysian Habanero and I hang the thin walled ones (Assam peppers) the 'ristra' way. Pictures to come...

Thanks for the inputs! However I think I'm still gonna give it a try since I don't know what else to do with so many bhut jolokias. If it doesn't work.. oh well. Benoit

FYI, I did hang the plants in my basement with the dehumidifier on and it works. All 5 plants now have ripe peppers.

I've been freezing them only since mid/end of August. Last weekend, I cut down the 2 plants before the 1st frost and hung them upside down in my basement. It's now all turning orange so I'll have a looooot of ripe ghost peppers! It will be a big batch of pepper mash :)

Hi, Basically, I've been freezing a few ripe Bhut Jolokia peppers almost every day for a while now. I now have a lot and I am wondering if it will still work to make pepper mash? My 1st guess would be yes, but just to make sure so that I don't waste all these nice peppers! Thanks, Benoit

Seeds were sold to me as lemon drop but after searching the internet, I think you are right about the malaysian habanero: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/images/B004E8FVIU/ref=dp_image_z_0?ie=UTF8&n=286168&s=garden http://www.refiningfirechiles.com/our_chiles.html I did taste it and although...

Hi pros, Here's the thing. I thought I was growing lemon drop peppers but after seeing some pictures, I am not sure anymore. Basically, I'm asking you what you think it is? Definitely not aji lemon drop but.. what then? Here's the picture...

This could very well be my last post for the 2011 season. This is getting to the end up here my friends. Although not the dream summer, I managed to grow quiet a few peppers. A large bag full of mustard habs, assams, lemon drops and a lot of bhut jolokias! The "survivor" chocolate hab will be...

I've just added a couple more pictures. I tasted the mustard hab yesterday and it's pretty damn hot! For some reason my lemon drop plant had been full of pods for over 2 months but only one rippen pepper so far. And assam plants: not a single rippen pepper. :( Soon, I'll have to bring inside...

I have to admit they look small for bhuts but still, the color seems alright. How can you be so sure they're not bhuts?

First of all, I am a novice when it comes to hot pepper eating. I've grown my first bhut plant this summer and last week, decided it was time to taste the 'beast' it had produced. I ate only one but a big one. The heat was so f..ing intense but I managed to hold it and I handled it like a...

An update on my quest for the perfect pepper. :) More seriously, the evolution of my 1st growing experience: Remember the picture I posted a few weeks ago of my 1st ripen Bhut Jolokia (see above)? Since I believe we should always taste what we grow, when the pepper was all ripen I decided it...

Just an update: Nights are getting cooler and days shorter up here. I was starting to wonder if I would ever get ripen peppers. Finally, the miracle happened! 1st ripen Bhut Jolokia Bhut Jolokia I also noticed first trace of yellow on a Lemon Drop pepper and I have a few Mustard Habs starting...

Hi, I am a new pepper grower (another one!) and I have a question for you experts out there. I am growing Mustard and Chocolate Habs, Bhut Jolokias, Assams and Lemon Drops: http://www.flickr.com/photos/66288118@N03/sets/72157627416536496/ Most plants are producing ok and there are full size...
