Hello my pepper friends :-)   I have been long over-due on posting a growlog for this season.  This year I attempted to germinate alot of older seeds from my collection and, being afraid of poor germination rates, I decided to wait until I had established plants to begin exhibiting them. ...

Woooooooot!!!!    I am all set to sow my first wave of pepper seeds  :dance:  :dance:  :dance:   Peppers:                      (to be sown Jan 1)   Hot and Super-Hot: 7 pot bubblegum (MJ) 7 pot bubblegum chocolate (FFF) 7 pot bubblegum yellow (WH) 7 pot bubblegum x naga (WH) 7 pot bubblegum x...

Well, here it goes. I want to make an announcement that after much research I have recently come to the realization that I am a case study of undiagnosed Asperger's syndrome!! This realization has been an epiphany. It makes so much sense of my experience in life. The power of knowing this about...

Lets see those lists!!!     This season I am actually going to try to focus on tomatoes especially.  The past several growing seasons I have had poor luck with tomatoes... probably because I have not put much effort into them since I have become a chili head.  This Fall I have done a lot of...

 Frost has ended this season and its time to begin preparation for 2016.  I extremely excited about next season.  I have learned several important lessons from this last season in particular.... and although I "knew" the lessons before I experienced the consequences....  I made the mistakes...

I thought this was a pretty cool anmiation.  It portrays the symbiotic interactions that occur between micro flora/fauna and your plant's roots in healthy soil, wherin microbes will provide a plant with varoius nutrients they have essentially mined from the soil in exchange for sugars...

I thought this would be a fun idea for a thread... let me know if there is already a running thread that is similar.   Show us your meanest, most gnarly, and downright feindish pods!!!   I will get the party started with these:     Carolina Reaper   Jay's Peach Ghost Scorpion:   Black...

Just making a small batch of a tropical, almost pirate-esque themed sauce as an experiment.  Hopefully it will be sweet... although the extreme heat could make the sweetness unrecognizable.... as I say it is an experiment.     The Peppers: Pineapple Aji Yellow Scorpion Mustard Habanero Orange...

So these peppers come from a mystery cross.  Last season I had a bowl where i would dump all of the seeds from the best pods (all randomly combined into a mix.)  Well most of the pods by far were from my monster ButchT so i assume we are looking at a ButchT cross.  Last night i cooked some pasta...

I procured the seeds form one Mr Jim Duffy at Refining Fire Chiles... and to my amazement my three primo plants express astoundingly different phenotypes... one is yellow/orange, one looks very, very simlar to Butch Ts, and the other has the classic primo look... (although I am still waiting for...

Apparently 2 tobacco horn worms ate 2 of my plants in 24 hours (stripped every leaf, leaving sticks with peppers hanging)....  thank God they werent my most prized plants.... now I need to check every plant for them...  BEWARE

I picked a beautiful, ripe pineapple aji this morning.  It was the first pepper of the season (it slipped by when I was pinching the flowers ealier this year and i just decided to let it go).  In retrospect i should have taken a pic... but every time I looked at the pepper it called out to me...

I finally researched the type of pest that has been plagueing my garden for about a month.  Its the four-lined plant bug.   http://www.vegedge.umn.edu/vegpest/CUCS/4line.htm   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfpuFrASbLk

I tried this hot sauce (more like extract) that I picked up from gatlinburg recently.  It was interesting for sure.  I tried the tip of a q-tip worth of the stuff on the center of my tongue.  At first I didnt taste or feel anything... in fact, I did a second rubbing of the q-tip on my tongue...

So I placed an order for 4 10-packs of 5-gallon root pouches... when they arrived I only received 3 packs labeled 5 gallons and one 25-pack of pots labeled 3-gallons. Upon further investigation, the pots labeled 3-gallons were only 2-gallons and the pots labeled 5-gallons were only 4 gallons...

These crosses could be new members of the world by this time next year. Let me know what you all think. Any tips on crossing will be greatly appreciated. 1 Peach Bhut (father) x Red Savina Habanero (mother) 2 Red Savina Habanero (father) x Peach Bhut (mother) 3 7 pot Primo (father) x...

I know there is another thread up now "did I buy seeds too early?"... but its not exactly the same inquiry as this one. I cant wait to get next season started and was wondering if you all could give me advice on when to start germination. I live in Kentucky (zone 6/7)... and would have them...
