A 57 page long thread on PEPPERS! This is entirely too long and I demand a closure of this thread and the burnage of the peppers before they get anywhere near my taste buds!
My ghost plant grew and flowered like crazy, it just would never set, the blossoms kept falling off.Ms Music said:I am thinking I won't get any peppers until they are 2 years old, also. My ghosts are still only 6 inches tall... *sigh* I hope they survive the winter indoors. Maybe I will take one to work so it can get sun shine.

It should survive the winter with a decent exposure to sun.
rhody said:I have over 30 types of super hot and medium hot seeds now, some rather rare ones. Plan on growing a few of those next season. 50 plants in 5 gallon buckets or in raised beds, haven't decided yet.
Yeah, the heat was roasting the roots, I had to keep the plants out of the sun, just to keep them alive.dlgoff said:I'm not sold on the bucket thing. Most of my bucket plants bit the dust due to the roots getting too hot, albeit it was an extra hot summer.

How's the hydroponic garden doing Rhody?

I think they fail to rise up to expectation.
rhody said:... Hydro, is expensive, and requires a learning commitment and significant amount of time to refine and perfect. Even then the experts will tell you there are times when all of their past experience are baffled when things go awry.
Rhody...
Wow, you got lucky! My plants were almost a year old before I managed to get any to set, but to be honest it was a very bad summer, hardly anything set until fall, then got killed by an early frost. I only got two peppers, which I dried and are kept in a place of honor.Ms Music said:I finally have 3 ghosts pods growing. The plants are still tiny (only 8 inches high) so I was very surprised to see those mean looking little beasts hiding under the leaves. My daughter insists all three are going to her boyfriend and his best friend, but we shall see. If they were in serious pain eating habaneros, they will be suffering with ghosts.
My jalapenos have always been hotter than grocery store seranos in the past, I wonder what they will be like this year. They all have been outside... I may burn my house down eating one. :D
Partial to spicy food? You’re in luck — a new study has found that capsaicin (the compound that makes chili peppers spicy) might help prevent obesity by stimulating thermogenesis and energy burning.
I planted two double-rows of garlic this winter, in preparation for this season's chili crops. I need to till a bigger garden.Astronuc said:
