A local company here makes a "Hot Pepper Wine".  I considered buying some, but I'm not particularly fond of wine, and my wife isn't that fond of hot peppers.    My question is, has anyone out there seen or tried this?  I'd be willing to try it if I thought it might be good.  Maybe just for...

OK, I know what these are, let's see how well ya'll can guess them.  There's only one "trick" one.  The rest are relatively common supers.   Whose up for it?  

This debate started on someone's topic, and I feel it is worth discussing, but didn't want to hijack someone else's thread.  So let's get it out here.   There are those who believe that crossing different varieties will lead to the loss of older strains of peppers as the gene pool is diluted. ...

So I gave my neighbor a ripe bhut and Prik kee to try the other day.  He found the bhut to be about jalapeno strength and the PK to be wicked hot.  It could be early fruit mildness, but my money is on me overwatering.  Tried a sliver from one I picked earlier and froze and found it pretty...

I've got one Primo that's been struggling for a little bit.  The older leaves seem normal but all of the new leaves growing are really thin and spindly.  Very thin and spindly.  I'll put up pictures tomorrow, but is this a problem that sounds familiar to anyone?

You ran out of hot stuff one night and were forced to buy them in your local produce section.  They weren't that great looking, but you needed that capsaicin fix.  You grow the hottest peppers on planet Earth, including Bhuts, Primos, and Morugas, but for some reason you could not resist...

So I suspect I know what this is, and possibly how it happened (if not when).  I was walking around my garden today, checking things out.  I was pretty excited because my Habs started setting pods a few days ago.  They are mostly covered in leaves so I've had a hard time seeing them until...

I've tried planting them in dirt, toothpicking them like everyone does on Youtube, and I have yet to ever get one avocado to ever sprout. Not one. Ever. Is there a critical step that I am missing? Is it all a magic trick or some cruel joke the world is playing on me? Who's got an answer or a...

I don't know if this has been brought up before but I thought it was a fantastic idea. Seed Library

So I noticed on one of my bhuts, at about 2 inches tall, tiny little leaves starting to form on the stem where the cotys were and where the other leaves are growing from. It's just that one bhut, and I'm not worried about it, but since it's the only one of all my peppers doing it I was...

Som I have a reaper and a bhut with weird unhealthy coloration. It started yellow, then statrted turning white in a pattern that looked like a shadow on the plant. I figured sunburn so rem0ved it from my CFL's and now it gets a few hours of sunlight a day. Now they look like their turning...

So my first sauce was a bitter failure. It smelled good and had good heat but tasted "metallic". Poor choice of peppers? Fermented too long? Here's what was in it: Kung pao peppers Hungarian wax Fajita bell onion Garlic Pineapple fermented 5 months with yogurt lactobacillus. At the last...

So I have been fermenting some peppers for sauce since October and I'm going to try to bottle it this week for some friends and family. I bought 24 6 Oz tobasco style woozy bottles with lids and shrink wrap and I have a friend who is a really good graphic artist for the labels. The problem is...

Hey all! So I had this cabinet just taking up space and was looking for a way to repurpose it. So I thought "What the hell, fill it with chilis!" I got some reflective bubble wrap insulation and a mesh metal shelf, stapled the insulation in and jammed in the shelf, attach a lid with hinges and...

Hots are sprouting. Tomatoes are in dirt. Last year was a banner year for watermelons which got me this: What do you have on your garden agenda this year? I'm planning: Black Tomatos Pineapple tomatos Burbank Slicing Tomatos Mr. Stripey Tomatos Burpee Supersauce Tomatos Orangeglo...

I know in the past pumpkins have avoided fruiting in my gardens, and this year all my peppers sprouted except Butch T's. Being my first year for super hots, and possibly a bad seed batch, I chalk it up to better luck next time. Has anyone here had any particular trouble with certain varieties...

What is too hot for germination? All of my seeds in soil are at a a pretty even 85-86 degrees, but I can't seem to keep my paper towel soak at a regular temp. My house is at around 70 degrees and my satellite box just doesn't get warm enough. I had them on the light reflector and it was...

I bought some Jobe's tomato and vegetable fertilizer for my buckets of soil this year, it was only one of 2 available at the Lowe's with the myo...mhyo...fungus stuff in it. A little seems to go a long way according to the instructions. Anyone else lazy like me and use an off the shelf fert...

Got a small reptile heating mat to warm up my seeds for sprouting. It's roughly 1/3 the size of my 72 pod starter kit, and I want to evenly distribute the heat as much as possible so one section doesn't get significantly warmer than another. Any suggestions on evenly dissipating the heat?

I'm thinking of attempting some CO2 experiments on my peppers and Tomatoes. I was just going to do a ghetto rig with some air line tubing a bottle of seltzer water and something to act as a CO2 tent for the plant. Then I stumbled upon this http://www.planetnat...4q:216.81.81.84. Essentially 6...
