    overwintering My Only Overwinter This Year

    I decided to be lazy this winter, since last winter sucked so much...LOL.   I decided to only overwinter my one plant, supposed to be a Reaper, since so few had ripened and there were so many green ones left on it.  They were all green when I brought them in last week, but they seem to be...

    Seed Grab Bag Give-away (for SASBE)

    Ok, I am going to try to limit my addiction forcefully, but spreading it around some :)   I have collected a variety of seeds over the last couple years, and don't really have the time or energy to keep up with starting many from seed anymore.  Most of the seeds came from open-pollinated plants...

    Checking on the interest...

    I had grabbed a bunch of pods off my plants before I had to leave Florida a while back, and I had a lot of varieties of peppers going.  They were open-pollinated and of various heat levels.  I've also got seeds from a number of pods that I had bought or had been given.   I know most folks look...

    Eat a bowl of soup, win $1000?

    Natally's Inferno Soup Challenge Ok, so I haven't tried myself (and won't! LOL), but I know there are some serious hot-heads out there who would at least have a shot at this challenge. It's at a place called Natallys in St.Pete, FL. I'd never heard of it just the other day when a coworker...

    Still the rain kept pourin'... Fallin' on my ears...

    And I wonder.... Still I wonder... Who'll stop the rain? TS Debby - you suk! Heard one estimate that some areas may see 15" of rain... just judging by the flooded back yard, I would say between yesterday and today so far, we've gotten at least 4-6 inches... some wind damage - mainly...

    Good?, Bad?, Definitely Ugly...

    Ok, found a new critter on one of my plants. It's an odd little thing, that looked like it had a fur belt on. The pics aren't that good (sorry!), as our little camera really has no macro setting, but here were the best I could get of it: Unk_Critter by THP_PapaBill, on Flickr This one is...

    HD Habs

    I had picked up a hab plant (just labelled as a Habanero) last year from HD. The pods on it were the normal "blockish" shaped and a medium orange in color. This year, all the pods are more elongated in shape, and ripen to a very dark orange, almost to the point of being red. Is it normal for...

    Freely admitting I'm a noob :)

    Ok, so I picked up a pack of non-pickled peppers, and now I'm hoping that you all can help me identify them ;) Prior to finding this site, my knowledge of peppers made it about as far as Jalapenos and Serranos (and some milder ones), so I am at a loss for these. The smell great though, but I...

    Heya y'all :)

    Been poking around the site here for a bit now, figured it was time I said a hey-howdy! Name is Bill, from west-central FL. New to organized growing (did throw a buncha seeds out off the porch years back, and some actually grew). This year I started a buncha seeds from a few store-bought...
