Decided to start a new thread. Mostly I was tired of 'experiment'. After wind, rain, horrible temperature fluctuations that defined May, June has made the garden beautiful again. It's taken a lot more work than I was ready for, but the roots have finally started going deeper into the soil...

With how random the weather has been and how annoying my dogs have been by getting in my garden, I've shifted towards growing in buckets. It seems to work for so many of you so I might as well give it a shot. I've also realized my garden soil conditioning came out subpar at best so I'll be...

Well it's been an interesting time since I started my experiment with starting way too early versus playing it safe. And I realized that I did really start too early and caused some serious strain of some of these plants. I also realized a few things with C. Chinese versus everything else. All...

Thank goodness for the feeling that spring should be right around the corner. I can't deal with another foot of snow and these 50+ degree (F) days have been wonderful. Anyway, this year's peppers should be much more abundant this year thanks to PepperLovers pleasant selection and the few I...

Decided to expand on my earler Kiwi sauce recipe. Kept the Kiwi/Lemon/Lime idea but used a red wine vinegar and tossed in a papaya that I needed to use immediately before it went bad. Tossed 5 or 6 jamaican hot peppers and 2 bhuts. Sauced it up and cooked it for a little while adding a few...

I got creative and wanted to make a new wing sauce. I have never seen anyone use kiwi like I've seen mango, pineapple, ect so I felt it'd make a good idea. I've never really made my own sauce that worked well as something other than a chunky puree so I felt I should post what I did and see what...

Recently I tried out a Shipyard Pumpkinhead ale. Best when drank from the bottle. It's a rather thin beer and seemed to lose a bit of flavor when drank from a glass, which was unusual to me. The taste is less about pumpkin and more nutmeg than anything. Drinkable. The fiance bought it for me...

Well it's September which means only 7 months or so before I'll be transplanting to the garden for next year. Hark, only 7 months?? But also it's about getting ready for overwintering and, if my cheap-o means of keeping my favorite plants alive works better than expected, maybe they'll even...

Well I come home from my last night shift this morning and what do I see. My poor Bhut Jolokia pot took a harsh tumble on to the deck, breaking an entire side of stems. :cry: And in an utter state of denial, I decide to bust out the sturdy ties. In my mind it will help... Really, what...

This little diddy was listed in my garden as a Tasmanian Habanero, and it clearly is not. Another image, one of my dogs thinks she wants to eat it. Sliced in half. Comes with a nice number of seeds. Has a very interesting scent to it. Slightly hot smell with a bit of citrus. Out of...

Well I decided not to waste any time fooling around and dreading the idea of eating something that looks like.. well.. this. (Picture of Bhut and the Scorp-Look Alike I have no idea what it really is) (Picture of what I'm about to regret eating) So to timestamp (9:52pm) the beginning of the...

Well it's my birthday so I figured instead of spending more money, why don't I just stay home and fix the neglected mess that is my garden. Well here's the result... From the top, starting left... Bag 1 - Serrano and small cayenne-type peppers picked from my extra patio plants. Bag 2 - Mix...

Got these in the mail upon my return home from my trip Saturday and was so excited. Having never tried these before, I felt it was time to test these little guys. Yellow 7 Pods Dorset Nagas That evening, after visiting the future inlaws, I cut open the Yellow 7 Pod. I cut out a few seeds...

This was a spare plant that I didn't have any room for, so I plopped it in the ground between my peas and beans because I cannot willfully kill a plant. It's a moral thing. Picture of the pepper on the plant. The end of it forms like a little mouth, and my camera is useless for pepper picture...

First it looked like my Bhut might have some bacterial spot infection. I picked off the worst looking leaves to gradually tame it as best as I can. But I also found some silky webbing on some of the peppers and on a few leaves and a dead white colored small spider under it. The plant as it...

Just thought I'd share some of my plants' progress passed harvests. My Bhut Jolokia. He's been a prize all season long. My Golden Habanero. He had it rough with Aphids and another bug but he's recovered nicely. My Jamaican Chocolate has come out pretty. And I tasted one of the peppers...

After the sucess of the cayenne peppers yesterday, I decided it was time to check the rest of them. Glad I did. Top left is my mix of Bolivian Rainbows, Firecrackers, and Goldlen nuggets. The next bag is a bunch of Thai Hots, Then 3 bags of Serranos. I love Serrano peppers too :) Then my...

I felt the need to harvest a few cayenne peppers today to add to my red pepper powder. I expected 3 or 4 but.. I found myself with a few more :) I really like the 'Crimson Torpedo' ones. Good flavor and quite large. Only debate now is to remove the seeds before grinding them up or not. I...

Hi folks. My name's Ryan and I'm in my second year gardening. First year doing a wide variety of peppers. Only did Habanero and Jalapeno last year. This year, however, 2/3rd's of my garden and my entire patio is stuffed with peppers. And I am happy to find an active forum to help feed my...
