I've had similar problems when it gets hot. The plants wilt, I water them, and then a certain % get all messed up, stay wilted, and often have brown gummy areas on the stems under the soil line. I always assumed it was the same thing as damp off but on larger plants. Not a lot of options when...

I think if you look more closely you'l notice the plant is turning purple, not brown, as a result of anthrocyanins as Chili said above. 

Disclaimer: I am far from an expert. My plants have all sorts of issues and I'm generally too lazy to do anything to them other than blast them with the hose if I suspect pests.   I think there's two possibly related, possibly not related things going on here:  the twisted new growth, and the...

You're living dangerously with the open air fermentation...I would be concerned with food poisoning with this method. If you want to ferment you should sanitize, use a starter such as yogurt / kefir or yeast, and use an airlock to keep out baddies. Or just go with fresh sauce w/ no fermentation...

Arkansas 34, Alabama 31 (someone has to call an upset!) 

Necroing an old thread of mine but I called today and they qouted me $38 a bag. I think they may just like Melissa.

 I'll try to translate for our friend danish (who is British?...)   [DOES] Any body got [HAVE] a brand name for a milder hot pepper for my chicago dogs [Chicago style "hot dog" sausage, with a a bunch of vegatables / condiments]?   I have two jars of the sport peppers [weird little green pickled...

Hey Dennis, sorry to hear about the problem. Mites are a pain in the ass, one of the biggest fears of my old friends the cash croppers. If it's any condolence the manzano you gave me is still alive and doing well.   

I've used Photoshop and photo paper in the past, no fancy labels. As simple as my art projects have been (mostly cut & paste + some text) MS Paint would have worked even.     Just used a little crazy glue to get the paper on the bottle after printing.   If you have printable labels they should...

You could always try adding more peach and citrus to the mix and back into the blender if you think the issue was quantity and not quality of the mango. 

I've had somewhat similar issues on my overwinters only. In my experience the strange growth occurs when the plant goes back into a vegetation producing stage after the last fruit cycle of the year (most of my peppers can fruit 2-3 a year, and the lucky ones survive through the winter.) The...

Hey Loki, for the most part I've has the same problem in Covina (20 miles east of downtown LA, 1/3rd of the way to San Berdoo.)   The climate here is hot and arid, and I suspect that the superhots, mostly derived from peppers from tropical climates, require more humidity and possibly less heat...

Hey Obey,   i think it's impossible to keep a fresh chili. People freeze em which should keep the flavor "fresh" but from what I understand, they turn into mush when thawed.   For long term use you have to dehydrate, can or freeze, and all will affect flavor and consistency to some degree or...

I'd like to grab some seed to try these out next year, will PM for SASE info.   Never know when rampaging elephants might invade my yard ;) 

If and when the train starts moving again, I'd like to jump aboard. 

Looks good!   Nice to see a recipe w.o. vinegar , just curious if the 1/2 cup of citrus juice is enough to keep the ph low / shelf stable?    Whipping up a batch myself w/o a recipe in a few kinutes, reviewing a few recipes to try to figure out a good starting point for my onion and garlic levels. 

I've got a Manzano in my front yard that I got from King Denis last year. (It's nice to have cool neighbors.)  The plant is interesting as it didn't really handle the summer very well but really took off in the winter. It's about 3 ft. tall and very bushy.   I've made some sauce from it that...

The sauce is great. My recommendation for anyone eating at King Taco is to order the Carne Asada burrito "Puro Carne" with the red sauce, and dump an additional 1-2 containers of the red sauce into it as you eat. All you've got is meat and onions (and hot sauce) in the tortilla, its so much...

Looking good brother! I tried to go from start to finish in one sitting but brain started melting at page 10. I got so frustrated with pest problems and low / no pod production last year I decided to just try to grow my couple of overwinters in the ground. A couple didn't make it and now I'm...

I frequently have the same problem with my starts in my homemade peat mix. Mine usually straighten out after they get a little bigger, and it may be from my mineral rich high akalinity water (8.0ph or so).
