Again, been a while since a post. All my plants have made it outside, flourishing greatly. :) I managed to start thompsontorture.ca as an easier means of sharing growth and pods and accessories. :)   A few fun plants in the greenhouse...       Some pods have started, finally...     White...

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...

I started using milkshake straws to record the date of first pod, isolated, and crossed. Simple, but the earwigs like to hide in them. Saw it online somewhere. :) My Aji Verde was first to pod but last to redden (almost 90 days). I started using them this year and they are perfect. I can deal...

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

So my Black Panther decided to do a double AND triple pepper on the same plant.              My Reaper is NOT a Reaper....again....it was the fastest seedling..then stalled...then went bonkers...   Full plant pics are roughly 1 week apart....except the last..thats most recent   Edit...

Thanks!! Its def a challenge up here...always jealous of the better climates for peppers. 

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.  

I ate a ghost pepper as my personal initiation into the pepper world about 8 years ago. It was brutal hot. Grew it myself. My toes curled and I chugged about a gallon of milk. I did end up puking but the rush was worth it. Would I do it again? No. But i still love the burn of peppers :)

going to have to be my recently acquired Jigsaw. Thanks PepperNorth :)

Just received my order from PepperNorth. A true pleasure doing business with him. I was looking for some specific seeds and he was honest in telling me that one type I was looking for was OP so wasn't willing to sell. SInce he is in Canada i will definitely do business again. I'm in Ottawa and...

I had a horrible year this year with maybe 30 plants, 5-6 varieties surviving.  Bought the house we were renting so now I have ramped up production. Bought a sweet greenhouse/hoophouse  online and now have 150 seedlings popped in a spare room in the house, out of around 40 varieties..planning on...

I'm pretty stoked for all of mine..the ones that stand out though are 7 pod Bubblegum, Chocolate Moruga, Cinnamon Bell, and Caramel 7 pod and Reaper (i waited to see if the strain would stabalize). All those came from Pepperlover. I have a few seeds from previous years that were open pollinated...
