Anyone growing these fancy stonefruit crosses?? I'm looking to pot up a bunch of semi-dwarfs within a years time. Pluots, apriums, and pluerrys all require pollinators from what I understand. So i'm curious if any of you have favorite varieties for these?   I'm also quite interested in those...

Is there a definitive answer as to whether they are in fact different??   I was on multiple reputable vendor sites earlier and many straight out said, or alluded to, these two possibly being identical.   So what say you people of The Hot Pepper? Is there any noticeable difference?   I have only...

My 500 Red Wigglers just arrived!   Super excited to start my worm composting bin(s)!!   Anyone have any experiences to share? Any tips n tricks?    

My father just recently finished building me a fairly large raised bed for my peppers. It's 7 feet by 3.7 feet with 18 inch depth. Which according to a calculator on the site I will be getting my soil from, it's requiring 2,700 pounds of soil to fill it.   I'm in Sacramento and my hardiness zone...

I read a thread here asking if anyone disliked the Fatalii [yellow]. The question was posed to contrast with the generally accepted notion that Fatalii is a chilihead favorite. A surprising amount of people chimed in expressing either indifference or disappointment in that pepper.   So I am...

So I made what is likely a big rookie mistake.   I potted 12 pepper plants in 5-6 gallon buckets. I didn't realize my mistake until a couple days later. I used Kellog's 'Garden Soil' and not their ready to go potting mix or their 'Patio Plus'. It's intended to be mixed with your native soil...

Can you all recommend your favorite companion plants to repel aphids? Or perhaps plants that attract predatory insects.   I purchased some marigolds, onions, and chives. Not sure if I want to use these or purchase some other plants for the purpose of deterring aphids and or attracting helpful...

Okay this isn't for a hot pepper. It's my yellow bell plant. For the life of me I cannot seem to prevent blossom end rot. I keep thinking the next pepper is fine unlike the previous… and then bam blossom end rot. I have reduced watering a while ago. I have also fertilized with calcium. Granted...

Does anyone have any personal experience growing or tasting this puppy? :)     Vendor info:   We selected this variety from a cross of Habanero Herold St Barths with a brown Habanero. This is the only known very hot Capsicum chinense variety with pods that remain green upon maturing. Stable...

Does anyone have experience they can share about this pepper?? :) I just ordered some seeds.   Here is what it says from the vendor (semillas):   This variety has been developed by Steven Foster (Scotch Bonnet Steve, USA), mixing a Dátil pepper and Madame Jeanette. Very aromatic and very hot...

Do any of you have info or experience with Chapeu Du Frade pepper?? Is it the same as Bishops Crown? If I am growing the Brazilian Starfish already do you think this pepper would be redundant in flavor and heat?   Link to pepper:   https://www.buckeyepepper.com/chapeu-du-frade

I bought [weeks ago] a six pack of Bhut Jolokia plants for 3.99 at Home Depot. Was pretty surprised! They didn't sell them last year!   What kind of peppers are you able to find at your nursery or hardware store that is "non-typical"?

Can you guys describe the taste and heat of a ripe poblano? I've only ever had it green. Which I do really enjoy. Last year I ate my jals and serranos red, which improved the flavor and maybe the heat. Is it similar with poblano?   Bonus question. Are there any crosses of poblanos with say a...

As the title suggests...   is there a pepper that ripens to black?    Could have sworn I saw one last week but am having a difficult time finding it today.

I have 6 super hots in 5 gallon buckets. A bunch of Jals, serranos, Thai, and orange habs. I am looking for 6 chilis at or above serranos in heat and below superhots. It's a little late in the game but I am building a greenhouse and looking to keep these guys growing for years. They will...

Hello :)   Some of the new growth leaves on my 6 superhots are curling/cupping.    I recently (I think) successfully recovered from poor hardening off on my part. Temps have recently >swiftly< become much warmer. So perhaps my problem is related to lack of hardening off or weather shift. They...

Hi! :)   I've been to this forum on and off for a few years as a reader. Figured I would join the discussion too ^_^   Little bit about me. I love love love spicy. I typically add heat to every meal it makes sense to. In other words, all but my cereal hehe.   I'm an avid gardener. Not sure how...
