Chili Peppers

[ashauler]

I can't do the hot spicy stuff......tears me up something terrible. My Dad likes the hot stuff, but he can't eat them like he used to.

Some fine looking plants there, I will post piccies of my current crop when I have some

As promised, here is this years:

If you look closely at the back you can see a healthy crop of chocolate habaneros on the go. Also I have a couple of NAGA MORICH on the go which will be scary when they bear fruit /ripen.

hey, so we just started trying to grow some peppers ourselves; habanero, serrano and thai chilis (also, i just picked up some seed packets of chocolate and white habaneros). I was wondering if you guys had any tips for growing these? I don't usually have much luck with the gardening thing. We literally just started, so any advise would help tremendously. thanks.

I have found this site very informative when it comes to growing chillis

Sun sun sun. The more sun they get, the better. Also, I use a fertilizer called "Root Blast" on all of my fruit/vegetable plants...it is some pretty incredible stuff. Other than that, just make sure you're using good soil and that the plants get a solid drink of water every evening.

Just a little update on this and a quick recipe question.

So even though I got a late start last year, most of my plants produced great, with the exception of the chocolate habs; Some nasty little critter nibbled off their leaves a few days after they started growing good, and as a result, I only 1 plant really survived, and it was very stunted. I managed to bring all the plants through the winter and my Orange and White habs are already gearing up for the spring. I just placed an order for some Caribbean red hab. seeds and a new batch of chocolate ones. I also just picked the 20 some odd peppers my white hab plants have been steadily growing despite being stuck in a garage for the past two months.

My question is this, what are some of yalls' favorite recipes for hananeros?

I usually use them in stir fry or spice up pasta dishes, but I'm looking for some new ways to use my peppers.
