It woul be wise to check the temp then. I had one that literally cooked my seeds a few years ago and I've been using a temperature controller ever since.

I am from Holland. And whats stated is correct about the spices in the Netherlands. In my own experience last year, the peppers came to me by the Germans. A couple of them moved to a Spanish island in the Atlantic and started a chili corporation. They sold me the seeds i'm growing today. Dont know about turduckens dough, do you shoot 'm?

Turducken is a dish associated with Louisiana, consisting of a de-boned chicken stuffed into a de boned duck, further stuffed into a de boned turkey, I believe it is deep fried to perfection, and then served with gravy and stuffing. I think before eating it, you are required to sign a waiver with your health insurance provider???

Cheers!
PURPLE Carolina Reapers in red mode! They took forever to turn from purple to red but are super hot so was worth the wait are also almost just as hot in purple mode

I ordered Chocolate Reaper seeds from Matt's Peppers. They'll be here Friday. Can't wait to get them germinating and growing!

@SadisticPeppers loose sandy soil is the best thing for this plant make sure has aeration twigs branches leaf mulch i use water soluble fertilizer but the organic granular fertilizer is probably better, and bit of mulch on top the red mulch is good but anything to hold just bit of moisture, best wishes
this year is is getting spicy perhaps is going to cause global warming i think ha!

Very cool, I like to grind up Italian seasonings and add it to chicken soup, and when I have tuna sandwiches, it always mustard and banana peppers, aka pepperoncini.

its a "hot wax" spice similar to jalapeno but except with lemon zest zing is reason perfect for most salads and fish meals is fussy to grow allot like bell peppers but the surprise heat is fun zest! worth it! get these "hot wax" I'm planting all the seeds and going to fill the yard with these, seeds originally bought at the Tractor farm store

Yes, I pretty much like the zing those peppers add to the tuna. Looks like you are doing alright in your garden.

Cheers!!!
What would you pick:
eat 1 reaper or take shots of warm hotdog water all night?

Where can I buy some fried chicken seeds?
Testing new way's to treat Afid infestation:

On the north pole there are no afids. Yet this is where polar bears thrive. So maybe Polar bears have something to do with the absence of afids.

To test this, one needs a polar bear.

This proved to be difficult so plan B is to take an Afid infected plant to the zoo en place is near the polar bears. Then observe.

Any tips?

great idea, i'm going for it. How do you imitate the nesting? i tried this once with a jar of fish egg but all i got was a soar ass.

I've found that placing the eggs in a bowl of ice does speed up the incubation period and yields a better hatching rate. Just be sure to keep your seals and penguins isolated to ensure the most effective aphid kill rate.

Awaiting delivery of seeds and dreaming of transferring the plants to outside. In a few weeks i will bathe in the shade of my chilieplants wich reach for the heavens. And burn my guts on all those lovely hotties:metal:
