With the season coming to a close within the next month, I've already started to plan for next year. I had 8 plants in the ground, and 8 in grow bags. With the slow start to the warmer weather, the ground plants didn't do as well as the grow bags did, and I plan on moving everything to bags...

(If this isn't the right place for this, please delete) So I'm planning on (hopefully) starting my first ferment this coming weekend. Waiting on my star-san sanitizer to come in currently and was looking at the proportions of which to mix it. I had a bad yield this year due to the poor weather...

So I wanted to try my first ferment sometime this week, and make a very mild red hot sauce with some of my jalapenos. Due to the terrible weather we had at the start of the summer in the upper midwest, I don't have very many jalapenos to use, and the ones that I do have are currently all still...

I'm curious if anyone has a good giardiniera recipe? I'm growing some jalapenos this year and wanted to take a dive into making some homemade giardiniera. I'm also curious on how long it'll last in the fridge, and what I can do to make it more mild or spicy. I've looked up some recipes online...

So I'm having a bit of an issue with a lot of weeds starting to pop up, and I'm growing a bit tired of constantly having to pull them. So my question is, what kind of mulch do you use to stop the weeds? I've got both peppers and tomatoes in the ground, I know that some mulches can make the soil...

So this is my 2nd year growing, 1st year where I'm going to really be experimenting with making sauce. I tried a little bit last year, but I couldn't quite get anything right. Ended up with a lot of bad flavors, and the couple that I got right didn't last too long in the fridge. So basically...

So I'm looking for a good fertilizer to use, but I'm not entirely sure on what I should get. I bought some fish bone meal off of Amazon last year that worked very well, gave me nice looking plants and tons of peppers, but the smell from it wasn't the best. In addition to peppers I'm also going...

Can anybody recommend me a good portable burner from Amazon for hot sauce making? I'm looking around the $40-$50 range, but I'm not entirely sure what to look for. I mainly want it so I don't fill the house with fumes, especially since I'm going to be experimenting with some reapers this summer...

So I recently bought 4 types of plants, 2 each of cayenne, thai chili, orange habanero, and ghost. Would all of these do well growing in the ground, or should I go for pots instead? If that is the case, how big should the pots be? Thank you in advance! Really looking forward to starting this.  ...

So I planned on growing some peppers for the first time this year, but had some concerns with my dogs getting into them. I'm more worried about them eating the peppers than them destroying the plants(rather lose a few dollars on the plants opposed to having vet bills), and they tend to try and...

My name's Andrew, new to growing peppers and joined this forum to get some opinions and questions answered. I plan on growing Cayenne, Tabasco, and Ghost peppers this year. Can't wait to get started!
