    misc Looking For A Short Bushy Pepper.......

    Hi there. So, just out of curiosity, does anyone possibly know of a short 'bushy' pepper available? Not variety or type specific. I guess I am not too sure what else to ask. These will be for growing in a flowerbed or for looks, not really for eating. I had Numex Twilight in the past, and...

    seeds How Long Do Seeds Last?

    Just curious as I am back again now and have not saved or bought seeds for 4 years since my last real 'big' harvest. Well, I started this year, and my ratio of stuff coming up is terrible.

    What To Do With Pods?

    Hi all. So before the time really comes, I would like to ask a few questions. As you all know, pods ripen while others are growing. I get the best mileage from dehydrated peppers, then ground.
