Hi Harry, With the exception of the newer superhots (I’ve just come back to the chilehead scene after a hiatus of several years), I’ve grown most of the varieties you listed. Would love to compare notes, if you’re game. I was surprised to hear that your Ají Dulce Margariteño had any heat at...

As the title suggests, Im wondering what the longest is that you guys have run a ferment. Also wonder at what point aging becomes a case of diminishing returns. Its always seemed to me that aging goes a long way toward mellowing out the sharper edges on a sauce, but maybe thats just me. The...

Welcome to the tribe, Dave! Do you make fresh sauces, fermented, or both? If you ever find yourself down in Miami or I’m passing through Jupiter, I’d be happy to share some spicy concoctions your way.

Maybe he’s always after the booty?

You just MAY have come to the right place... Welcome to the tribe, man! Points for the reference to an obscure Oaxacan molé on your profile.

Other accessions and cultivars with purple foliage, flowers, and/or fruit include CGN 21500, CGN 21566, Wild Purple Guatemalan, Maui Purple, Purple Reaper, and Trifetti, just to name a few. But Canedog is right, PDN is generally the most popular among breeders for purposes of purple.

Not that he knows what hes talking about or anything.

Love it. Clearly someone likes garlic as much as I do. Can also really get down with the sentiment expressed in your signature. Tried to PM, but your box is full. Mine probably is, too. Is the wishlist on your profile current? I have Pasilla de Oaxaca, Ají Dulce Jobito, and Cumarí do Para, if...

I think Rex needs to eat a handful of those Brainstrains on video.

Sounds awesome, but you didn’t mention what time I should be there for dinner.

I probably could have been more clear. When it comes to just salt and peppers, agreed. When it comes to playing around with other ingredients, in particular those that are hygroscopic like sugar, the rice trick helps.

Try rolling it into a cone around the trunk and suspending it from the lowest branches with string or wire.

Oh, and I have the glogs to prove it. (Yes, I’m teasing Geo and Solid there).

Hey hey, Mark! Long time, no see. I used to live in downtown West Palm. At the time, I had a side gig as the grower at the Grey Mockingbird Community Garden in Lake Worth, about ten minutes south. I have very good news for you. With the right guidance, you’re in for the grow of your life...

Yeah, I saw that. Just thought I’d post it in case he comes back.

Also, yellow sticky traps can be very helpful with certain pests, like whitefly and fungus gnat, and whitefly absolutely hate reflective mulch.

Solid’s correct. I do the plant thing for a living down in Miami, and pests are a PITA, especially whitefly. My advice depends on how close your plants are to bearing ripe fruit, and how willing you are to go the conventional insecticide route. When it comes to using pesticides, the most...

Pizza, for one.

Heya Ches. I also happen to be based in Miami. I’m the horticulturist at Galloway Farm Nursery. More than happy to help you out with any advice you may need.

What’s up, Eddie? I just happen to be based in Miami as well. I’m the horticulturist at Galloway Farm Nursery in South Miami. I’m also a total chilehead (at last count, my collection was up to over 2K varieties, though I’m not sure how many of them are still viable). I’m at our main site on 87th...
