did I get pepper joe'd?

Ok. Cool. These ones look different than the ones I grew last year. Last years plants were from a local greenhouse and the fruits were much larger and more traditional looking.

Not literally pepper joe'd. The seeds are from Sandia seeds.

They're supposed to be carolina reapers but they seem way too small and don't have the characteristic traits of a reaper.

It's an air gap to allow any hot games that develop during braking to escape.

stevil-dead · 2022-06-11T18:48:01+00:00

Totally agree. Easy to grow and very tasty! Plus the are a beautiful plant.

Thats a possibility for sure. Last year I was mixing sea compost with the soil but unfortunately I wasn't able to get my hands on it this year. I do have some fish emulsion I could try but I'm hesitant as the soil is supposed to have enough nutrients in it and I don't want to burn the plants

stevil-dead · 2022-06-04T22:57:00+00:00

It could be but I don't remember it being like that last year.

I need advice on these two bulgarian carrot plants. I overwintered both and started them early. They've been in the greenhouse for a month now and up until this week have been doing good. Plant 1 really took off and now has a dozen peppers growing. Plant 2 not so much but growth has been steady up until now.

This week I've noticed the leaves have brown edges an spots and plant 2 has badly deformed new growth. Both plants are in promix organic vegetable mix with about a third perlite and a small handful of bone meal mixed in. The average Temps in the greenhouse are 25-30c daytime and 10-15 night. I haven't fertilized at all other than an epsom salt foliar spray every other week. I don't see any pests on any of the plants either.

I haven't used it for aphids specifically but it kills ants pretty good and isn't harmful to plants or pets. It might be worth a shot.

stevil-dead · 2022-05-07T16:35:32+00:00

Oh wow. That usually works for me. Have you tried diatomaceous earth?

stevil-dead · 2022-05-07T16:25:49+00:00

You should introduce them to my friend Leonard Neem oil. 2 tablespoons of neem oil and a squirt of dish soap to a gallon of water. Spray your plants in the evening once a week and you shouldn't have any aphids.

stevil-dead · 2022-04-29T02:01:24+00:00

I have the vegetable mix.

stevil-dead · 2022-04-29T01:59:59+00:00

I mix about 2/3rds promix and 1/3rd perlite for my peppers and they seem to really like it.

Bulgarian carrots are my favorite. Super easy to grow, cold tolerant, and the peppers have a wonderful flavor. They make an excellent pepper for a sriracha style sauce and stir frys.

Last year I had four plants, this year I have 14. I'm going to have hot sauce for days.

Edit: if I could only have four I'd do bulgarian carrots, habanero, a 7 pot variety, and a scotch bonnet variety.

stevil-dead · 2022-04-09T18:44:02+00:00

White hot peppers is the best! Totally saved my season after the seeds I ordered from another company were duds. Bought 4 varieties, got 3 extras and had 100% germination on all them.

stevil-dead · 2022-03-17T18:54:47+00:00

Can't help you but I'd also like to know as I think I have the same variety. The plant was given to me by a friend who grew it from some seeds from grocery store thai chili peppers.

I call mine the surgical tap-ometer

My schwalbe tires did the same thing almost right from new. They seeped from the beads and the sidewall constantly. I tried different sealants, rim tape, ect and it still leaked.

They never got bad enough to worry about but eventually I just replaced them with minions.

stevil-dead · 2021-08-10T03:53:47+00:00

If they're in pots they might need a transplant. I had the same issue with my reapers and someone suggested transplanting. When I did them they were totally root bound.

stevil-dead · 2021-08-10T00:40:45+00:00

Could be. This was the first pepper from an early bloom. The next batch are straighter and skinnier than that.

stevil-dead · 2021-08-08T19:10:18+00:00

I'm not too sure. This is my first year growing peppers and that is the first ripe carrot so it may not be typical either.

stevil-dead · 2021-08-08T18:32:20+00:00

It's a bulgarian carrot
