I have grown some type of jalapenos for pickling and stuffing every year since I have grown peppers. The last few years I have been growing biker billys and mucho nachos and they have gotten worse for production each year and started looking sickly as the season progresses, while other varieties...

Sorry i know there is like a 100 topics on which blender to get, and there is lots of discussion about the top end ones like vitamix, blendtec,and the ninja. I am thinking about getting a ninja since they are a little more affordable. There are several right now on amazon for under $100 that are...

So I grew three of these plants and all were supposed to be chocolate brainstrain. Any idea what they are? Seeds were free from a seed train or trade can't remember so I'm not complaining just trying to figure it out. They are actually pretty tasty with decent heat. They look a little more...

Hey guys and gals,  I finally decided to order my first WSM yesterday. I got a 18.5" since it's just 2 of us. Yeah we have company sometimes but generally not huge gatherings so i figure that is plenty big enough for us.  I smoked some ribs and wings this weekend on my chargriller smoker (this...

So i saw this at lunch today on one of my plants that i am giving away, thoughts as to what it is.  It appears to fly or at least flutter around a little when startled.   Edit: sorry it is turned the wrong way

Hopefully this is the best place to put this if not move as necessary.  So me and the wife and a few friends are going to New Orleans in a few months and are staying in the French Quarter :dance: . I have been a couple of times but it has been a long time so i just wanted to hear some opinions...

Hey all, So i have followed other peoples glogs but never got around to doing one so i decided this is the year.  I think this is my 3rd year growing from seed and i have really enjoyed the ride and all of the help i have gotten here on THP.  I figured the least i can do is do a glog and maybe...

So after weekend before last doing a couple of cooked sauces, it was time to do a couple more ferments. So many peppers in the freezer and dehydrated got to do something with them :). Sorry i only took one picture after they were in the jars, i always forget to take pictures while i am putting...

So i decided to process some end of the season peppers over the weekend into two new sauces. I made them weekend before last and put them in mason jars for a week and then into woozies over this past weekend. I think they both turned out very well.             Sorry for the bad pic, i didn't...

So over the weekend i decided to do my first two ferments from this summers grow.  Last year was my first time trying ferments and came up with several that i really liked.  So i figured it was time to jump back in and make sure i haven't forgotten everything i learned.  I of course used the...

Hopefully i put this in the right place. I got some mixed cayenne seeds from trade winds and grew several of them out last year and they all turned out red which is fine.  This year i grew some out and one of them turned out to be a purple cayenne which is a very cool looking plant/pepper...

This is definitely my biggest harvest of the season so far. Put most of them in dehydrator for sauces and powder later when I have time. Also think I will make some poppers tonight using honey goat cheese and bacon. They will go on the grill along with a big fat ribeye. You guys like moa's for...

So i am growing this for the first time and i have a pod starting to ripen and it is turning red. Is this normal, will it then change to brown or has there been a mixup in seeds somehow?  i grew the jamaican hot chocolate last year and overwintered for this year and those pods go from green...

So I've been making homemade sauces for a couple of years and I've tried to follow good sanitation processes. My question is if your sauce is going to be around 3.5 ph level or below why do you need to sanitize everything (cutting board, knives etc...)? I guess I can understand sanitizing...

Something has essentially topped 5 or 6 of my pepper plants by nearly half in my raised bed. It has gone primarily after my shorter plants and left the taller ones alone so far. It has also taken branches off of several others. Yesterday there was no apparent damage. I walked out there this...

Sorry if this has been discussed, but i tried searching and wasn't really able to find much specific to this, but if it is out there just refer me to it and i will read it.  I also tried googling and got a variety of answers so i decided to just start a new thread. I bought some blood meal late...

Hello all, I decided to grow a lot of new varieties this year that i have never tried but that i have heard were good here on THP.  I wanted to get some opinions on what you guys think are some good uses for these varieties i am growing for the first time. Things like the jalapeno varieties i...

Hello all, So this year i decided to overwinter a few plants for the first time.  In October shortly before the first freeze i trimmed back 4 plants to save for next year.  I did a red bhut, red 7 pot, jamaican hot chocolate, and a tobasco.  I didn't plan on doing the tobasco, but it was 6 feet...

So my first couple of ferments must have gone south, because when i opened them a while back to process them the smell was horrible.  Not one to shy away from disappointing results i decided to go for it again. I had some extra tobascos and wanted to go simple just to see if it would work, so i...

As i mentioned in Juanitos first smoke thread, i also did a smoke this weekend. I knew it was going to be the last one before winter and the weather was cool and windy.  I had a hard time keeping my temperatures up with the cooler temps, but i was able to for the most part.  The pictures aren't...
