I ended up with like 80 plants last year between my order from white hot, the bonus seeds they sent and a couple starters I grabbed from a family friends nursery. Decided to up my garden game and built a greenhouse last fall before the weather turned. I don't think I'll grow 80 pepper plants (I gave away a bunch, froze a bunch, and still had some go bad on me). Everything from blazing banana to reapers to chocolate ghosts and many others.

Like when you canned them, they just turned sort of a light brown. I'm growing a few this year, but only two plants since they are prolific and don't seem to preserve well. As for others, I've sprouted a few Poblano, Giant Marconi, Mad Hatter, King Naga and Peter. I tried to sprout a couple of Brazilian Starfish, but they didn't come up.

Still eating canned salsa from last year and going to put up at least double that this year and want to try some homemade hot sauces.

We're planning on moving before/during summer so I probably won't get a chance to plant anything this year.
My jalapenos last year came out weird. I'm not quite sure what happened to them if they mixed/cross-polinated with something else or just weren't good plants or what. I bought a couple flats of seedlings from our local greenhouse and they grew fine and produced peppers, but the heat was very inconsistent. I took a small bite of one of the peppers and it was as mild as a bell pepper, then I told my wife to take a bite and assured her it wasn't spicy...the next 1/4" of the pepper was the hottest, asshole melting jalapeno I've ever experienced. She started flipping out after she took a nibble and I thought she was messing with me, she wasn't, I took a bite of it and it was spicy as hell for a jalapeno. Almost all the heat in the pepper was up high and they got more and more mild the closer you got towards the tip, they grew to about 3-4" long. |

Go to Home Depot and buy: 5 gallon buckets (3 ea) [$15] 2 cubic feet bag of potting soil [$16] 3 pepper plants (Jalapenos work great and can turn into multi year bushes if wintered correctly) [$15] ~$50 is probably the cheapest (& easiest) hobby that you will ever pick up on Arfcom. Drill several holes in the bottom of the buckets Fill the buckets with potting soil Plant the pepper plants and provide some sort of support (stake or cage) Edit: If you have a sunny place for a garden then it's even easier. |
