Wow. So here I am, coming out of hibernation. 7 months of fighting bugs and giving weekly soap baths to over 50 plants.   https://imgur.com/23qxxFc   Room was crowded...   https://imgur.com/Tz2gOuK   I tried to put the plants out as soon as I could. Mother Nature said no with an ice storm. Had...

    Thanks. Wife says I have OCD.  I agree with her. :)

The cold weather has forced me to move indoors a little early. Wife let me take down a wall. The plants on the shelves were brought in about beginning of October. The plants on the floor were brought in on the 13th.    https://imgur.com/a/cHQXW   Every Wednesday I have been trying to take a...

Some Aji Verde

I've found these work great. 2 types of tops..grinder and shaker..interchangeable      

I've been keeping an eye on these leaves. These are from my Borg 9 Bleeder. Actually 2 plants in this pot putting out 2 different peppers.          A few pods are ready. Holding out a bit longer.     My Red Fatalii has been this color for 2 weeks.     An Aji Verde turning.     Baby 7 Pot...

My Peach Gum Tiger Mamp showing some fun stuff...all peppers coming out purple except for 1 branch...                   Weird plant..still gonna keep it :)

Grillcheese reporting in from Canada capital, Ottawa, zone 5b. Its been a real pleasure gaining info from numerous members here over the years. 10(?) years ago my sister gave me a paper lantern habanero plant as a housewarming gift. That was the hook. Red Savina was king. What a decade :) I'm...

I got mine from here.... http://pepperlover.com/pepper-seeds/pepper-species/capsicum-annuum/aleppo-halabe-detail 

I have 140 this year, was able to manage 200. But it does take time. Gets easier I think every year because of the lessons learned the previous year. I'm on my 10th year of peppers now with 40 varieties going.
