I realize I'm getting started on this late and the growing season isn't really that long around SD, but... I'm doing it! I finally own my own place and have a yard that I can use to create a garden! I picked out a spot next to my shed (shed is West of garden).   This year, I'm going to grow...

I redid my garden. I'm calling this 2.0. :D It's not only peppers anymore, but it's still what got me started. My Butch T. plants took a big hit when I decided to stake them, but I'm sure they'll come back. It leads me to a question... I heard that cedar chips on top of the soil can be useful...

I've been having troubles with pests in my mini-garden inside my apt. First were the fungus gnats (fruit flies? w/e they are) and I got rid of them with some plant safe pesticides and getting the soil very dry to the point I pretty much killed one plant. I had to just cut off everything above...

I always use gloves when working with anything hotter than 300k SHU. Obviously when I was working with some Pure Evil I was wearing gloves. Well.... apparently there was some left over on the bottle when I moved it after cooking and guess what happened after some lemonade. Yup, I had to pee...

At first I thought I was just throwing a bunch of random things together, but it turned out so amazing that I had to share. To start with, it's hard to get anything other than prepackaged corned beef around here. I take the point just to save a few bucks. In a crock pot, I put in one can of...

So, I think I finally have a clue when it comes to growing peppers. Not that I know what I'm doing, but thanks to people here, I have a clue. Now I'm looking for some good pepper seeds and I don't really know what would be good to grow. I know I'd like to try a scotch bonnet, brain strain...

I'm trying to grow my peppers indoors since I live in an apt with no balcony and no decent light and no chance of just setting them outside. So..... making the best with what I have. Recently, I've noticed a not so great change. For starters, I've been dealing with fruit flies since I started...

I'm not sure if this is normal or not. I'm about as beginner as you can get. I have a yellow hungarian plant growing and it seems to be doing great. There are so many leaves that the stem can't actually support them. I braced the stem with a bent paper clip and now I'm seeing some white bumps at...

I made some tacos with hot peppers in them and I started to get tired of them so I decided to make pasta. When I was done cooking it, I thought to myself that it looks damned good. I started heating some water in a pot. Tore open a package of chorizo, started frying it up, when it got nearly...

Well.... After much reading and edumacationating i self.... Where it started. I wanted to try the worlds hottest pepper, the Bhut Jolokia. I found that I could buy some a long ways away from here, then finally found where I could buy them locally. They're in the produce section, but I'd hardly...

I'm very new to growing anything at all. I'm trying to grow Trinidad Scorpion (Butch T) peppers because they seem to be ¿nearly? impossible to buy around here. I can't find them fresh, frozen, or otherwise. I can't even find a sauce made from anything above habanero peppers. So I decided a new...

So, for my first forum post, I will describe this burger I made which I call a Fire Burger. I start with one pound of ground beef. Of course, you should buy this from a butcher/meat shop and never freeze it. I minced two bhut jolokia and mixed (including seeds) into the ground beef. I then...
