This year we are doing a Mystery Polling for the Growdown Throwdown 2024. Suggested by the boss @The Hot Pepper. Only I will know what the multiple choices are. Rules are the same as always: 1: If you vote, you must grow and show (no free lunch) and you must agree to the SASE requirement to...

Apologies for getting to this so late in the month, but life happens and contrary to popular belief, peppers come second. Having said that, I'm putting a slight spin on this year's annual Growdown Throwdown. This year, there will be no vote. We have a goal. Based on discussion in 2022's thread...

Everyone knows the rules by now... Lets vote on this thing and get it moving so SASE's and SASBE's can get to me and I can get them sent back out. Do not vote if you are not going to send an SASE or SASBE and participate in the grow out. As per the customary flex, I want all my Growdown...

Everyone knows the rules by now...   Lets vote on this thing and get it moving since we are already behind a few days.    As per the customary flex, I want all my Growdown King crowning gifts to be given to the runner up in second place for 2020. Who was 2nd?   Make sure they get some goodies! ...

Everyone knows the rules: Whomever gets the most weight of one single plant, from Jan 1 2020 to Jan 1 2021 gets crowned the GROWDOWN THROWDOWN KING .... then others have to send you cool stuff.    Voting for participants only. Votes will be public and by casting a vote you agree to actually...

Here we grow again! Better to get this started now, a variety voted on, find a vendor and get the seeds ordered!    Same rules every year:   1. Seeds hit dirt no sooner than Jan 1 2019 2. Germinate and grow as many as you want, but pick only one to be harvested from and weighed.  3. All grow...

Here we grow again! Better to get this started now, a variety voted on, find a vendor and get the seeds ordered!    Same rules as 2017:   1. Seeds hit dirt no sooner than Jan 1 2018 2. Germinate and grow as many as you want, but pick only one to be harvested from and weighed.  3. All grow styles...

Starting this now and will edit this original post as updates occur. New concept on an age old classic contest.    Its simple.   Rather than seeing who can grow the tallest plant, we see who can harvest the most weight in pods from one plant.    1. We all do a rather quick vote on a very readily...

Just starting this glog now so it's one less thing to do in a few months when I'm knee deep in compost and getting things in the ground.   Not much to report at the moment. Strains yet to be determined, but I'll probably end up growing too many like always...lol     Only thing that's going on...

It begins with a tray...

Its 746 am now. Forum shows an hour behind.

Is it that time again already? Feels like yesterday I was picking final harvests, disonnecting drip lines out in the garden and digging up pepper plants for the winter. Where does the time go? Anyhow, I see people are already in full swing here on THP. What a lovely site. I'll be the first to...

Walked out to the car this morning to find frost on the windshield! I wasn't expecting that at all! No warning on the news, and temps didn't seem to warrant the worry really. Crazy stuff. Pepper plants seem to be fine, but I guess I gotta get a move on getting the mothers dug up and pruned back...

For many growers alike, the growing season starts at the seed. Its an all too familiar feeling; the smell of the seeds as we sort through them, looking for the "one" that will morph into the towering giant of our dreams, acquiring the perfect soil mix, temperatures, and saturation. Its one of...

Sure would be nice to put our journal links into our signatures.

It seems there are MANY people getting flower drop and I really want to know whats going on here. Most say temps, and that may be true for some but I don't see it as the true "answer" and I think there is much more at play here than most think. If the poll will allow me to continue to add...

Just a heads up for all you guys getting all this rain. While the rain is very good for our gardens and it has been a god send so far for the southeast growers, it can allow leafspot and other bacterial spores/diseases to rear their ugly head with full force! I have noticed that on a few plants...

Hey THP! Guess I will go ahead and share my plans with a journal this year too! Most of my transplants that go into the garden this year will be cuttings/volunteers from mother plants I have kept for the last five years. I like to start from seed most of the time, but this year it's getting a...

Well, I think its been long enough. These have been aging for half a decade now so they should be just about right to make some fine sauces out of :) Fatalli, Congo Chocolate, Red Fatalli, 7-Pod, Trinidad Scorpion, Red Savina, Red Carribean... Fatalli Trinidad Scorpion 7-Pod...
