I chop them up, freeze them, and add them to fried rice and ramen noodles. I plan to put a few slices on the tacos we are having for dinner tonight. :D But, yes, I want a dehydrator. :D Jakester : they came from home depot: "Bonnie Plants Jalapeno Hot Pepper" is all the the little tag says...

Thanks guys. It's like they say, the waiting is the hardest part! I think I set myself back by the way I was picking them originally ... breaking them off the stalk, which I think basically stopped the growth on that branch. Now I am using a set of mini wire cutters to clip them off. Which...

I've been having problems, but I am getting some ripe peppers finally. Here are a few pics: Jalapenos in abundance! Cajun Belles Golden Cayenne getting close... I ate one of these a few weeks ago and was drooling and snotting for 10 minutes. :D Chiltepins... these guys are hot for being...

I'm growing golden cayenne, among other things in cat litter buckets, it was producing like a champ until whatever bugs I have started really doing a number on my plants. The stalks on it are all chewed down and it has stopped producing. The other peppers in the pic are jalapeno, serrano and...

MY jalapenos had this happen last week out of the blue, the ends were just gone and they went from green to red in one day. FFs all over!

Thanks Papa Bill The picture on that page looks just like these eggs. I have actually seen the larvae around the yard too. Are these the things that end up hanging under the eaves of our house in their little litter cocoons? On a side note, the larvae look a lot like ant-lions. Edit: looking...

Nice! I haven't done any habaneros yet, but I wanna! The others look like they could be Thai chili aka Bird's Eye peppers. Are they pretty hot?

Thanks Jaime. I've seen a few earwigs around too! Dang these insects. I always thought they were cool until I started trying to grow peppers, lol. The "days it's gonna rain" part is hard... its been storming everyday. Normal New Orleans weather for this time of year... Looks like I'll be...

I have for sure seen some cutworms around the yard (black cutworms I think), but I haven't caught any in the pepper plants. We also have lo caterpillars, but again haven't seen any in the plants. BUT, if these two are causing problems, what should I do? I used Sevin attached to a garden hose to...

Hey guys! My plants are getting torn up by something. Not sure what, but I thought you guys might be able to help! I see one plant with some eggs under a leaf. They look almost like grains of sand suspended from stiff spider web strands. Some of the plants the leaves are chewed all up. Some...
