i have 12 plants of C.pube. going this year, huzzah! 5x rio hualaga (orange) 5x giant yellow rocoto 2x ecuadorian pepper from hell (red) pics in my GLOG

possible frost again tonight, thinking it's best to wait until next weekend to plant outside. they could use some more hardening off first anyway. here's the totals of what i showed pics of the other day: (P) rio hualaga: 5 (P) giant yellow rocoto: 5 (P) EPFH: 2 (F) lotah bih: 3 (F?) hijo...

shaking things up with a surprise update: nothing major. just had the plants outside again and had the time and willingness to take the "family" photos of them. (WARNING: picture-heavy) and this was after being outside and prior to a water; ALL THE DROOPY ONES ARE JUST DRY NOT ILL, I PROMISE...

sounds like aphids are like that, way more deadly inside because nothing to keep them in check. i suppose that if the gnats "gnaturally" move about in the soil as any animal would, they should disperse away from the root balls. but it's such good eatin', and animals also tend to stay nearby...

i have fungus gnats BAD! will i need to rinse all the roots before i plant out to my backyard raised beds? or will the potential future harm become negligible because they will be moving into 1000x more soil than they are in now? can the gnats remain or become a worse problem outdoors, and...

thanks everyone. we're still all doing well, i had 5 weeks off work for parental leave and just started back this past week. life is good. just a small update. weather has been pretty great but often windy. today was the plants' first day going outside on the deck for the afternoon: amazingly...

i was specifically speaking to your point about use of the word in recipes, and gave reasons why it would never be used in that specific situation regardless of its suitability in common parlance. also i did read the whole thread and posted in it earlier as well. and ffs is "for fuck's sake"...

for a recipe, using the word pod is redundant/not necessary, because: 1. the word chili or pepper must be included to help readers identify what type of food ingredient is being called for 2. the quantity can just be a number (or weight/measure), because 3. there is no ambiguity about what the...

"forgot" to add so as not to taint/clutter the OP, the seed vendor i've been using has several varieties which are potentially interesting to me: -red gum tiger X choc. naga brains -purple tiger X peach bhut jami -purple death -PdN X reaper orange -mojo black -jigsaw X bbm X yaki blue...

as i'm sure many of you do as well, i quite enjoy the beauty and uniqueness of pepper plants which grow purple or dark leaves, stems, and sometimes even the pods. i would like to get your opinions on which are your favourite types to grow, or of equal or greater importance, which to avoid. all...

+1 for pods due to the alliterative quality, so i can say things like a proper plethora of pungent piquinho pepper pods pending picking prior to pickling

my guess if you are doing hardening off, it's not fully necessary to put back in tent and under lights. that would only be needed if you wanted them to keep growing at "maximum speed". the plants still need a normal day's light and typical indoor temps, so as long as the patio door is not...

good going. look forward to seeing phase 4 (yet 20 more kinds) deployed :P

BIG UPDATE: HAD A BABY!! boy, 9.25 lb, healthy no complications & mom is doing well. 😁 ...pepper plants are also well. had just enough time after work that day to water the plants, shower myself, and get us to the hospital 😛 --NEW BATCH OF JALAPENO HAS BEEN SOWN, GROWN, AND MOVED ON UP TO TWO...

excuse me, you own ZEBRAS???
