    Growing pineapples

    So... anyone growing pineapple plants here? The few threads that I found on the subject are 10+ years old... I have always found it fun trying to grow the top of a pineapple. Of course I never managed to grow it to the flowering stage, let alone growing a fruit... that is partly because I...

    vendor Refining Fire Chiles 2023

    RFC used to be my number one seed seller at some point, but then Jim Duffy stopped selling internationally (or maybe only to European customers, because of new import rules?). I'm just wondering if this is still the case... any experiences?

    It's never too early to get started!

    Sooo... 2022 season is over and most of my 2023 plants are already there - no reason not to start a new thread already! 😃 While all my current plants are technically overwinterers, only a couple have grown through the 2022 season and are considered interesting enough to keep for next seasons...

    wanted 7 pot burgundy seeds

    Just curious if anyone has some seeds of 7pot burgundy available. I do have some seeds but these are already quite old (5+ years) so they may not be viable anymore. I will of course give them a try. 7pot burgundy doesn't seem like a variety that is commonly available from seed sellers, at...

    New users and uploading pictures...

    Could it be that *new* forum users are not able to upload pictures to the forum? Is a certain "user status", like a number of postings, required? See also this post...

    cloning Which branches for rooting cuttings?

    It's the second half of september already and temperatures are starting to go down. Since my pepper plants are in pots outside in open air I have to start thinking about taking those that I want to keep inside for the winter. The overwinterers will be turned into a bonchi which means cutting the...

    chinense Lemon yellow brain strain - anyone tried it?

    In several of his videos Johnny Scoville raves about the Lemon Yellow Brain Strain from Seriously Hot Peppers. Heat wise it is probably nothing for me but it did make me curious. This is what I found... anyone tried this pepper?

    chinense Faria Scotch Bonnet info/seeds?

    I have seen the Faria scotch bonnet pop up in threads from years ago and notice that it is used to create some hybrids like the elysium oxide scotch bonnet, but the Faria SB itself seems to have disappeared these days... Would this variety be worth growing? Where could I find seeds? Found this...

    Inserting dynamic objects in forum posts possible?

    The forum allows to create a table in forum posts which is handy it you want to show a list of what you're growing to fellow forum members. Unfortunately such a list is static and, if you're not an extreme member, cannot be edited after a certain time has elapsed. Would it not be a good idea if...

    Pusa Asita black carrot

    I recently saw this purple carrot on the baker creek web site and since I love everything deep purple I started looking for a local seed source immediately. Unfortunately they are nowhere to be found in my area and baker creek does not ship to europe anymore. Wouldn't be a good idea anyway...

    shipping European import taxes

    Since a couple of months European citizens have to pay import taxes for all goods originating from outside of the European union regardless the cost. At the time this regulation came into effect, I had an order going from RFC with a value of just about US$5. When the little envelope with seeds...

    Numex sunrise, sunset, eclipse

    Just came across the numex sunrise, sunset and eclipse varieties. Apparently they are mostly grown as ornamental varieties. Has anyone grown these? Are they worth growing?   Seems like fun though, growing related varieties in different colors, like the orange spice, lemon spice and pumpkin spice...

    Cabacinha laranja

    I saw these pictures of "Cabacinha laranja" posted in a facebook group by someone with the name William Andrade. I'm sure I saw this variety before but of course now I can't find it and - also of course - I love the look of this pepper and I want seeds  :D   Can anyone put me in the right...
