growing peppers

Hey everyone. My wife and I love spicy foods and peppers, so we grow our own. We currently have 16 habanero plants, 1 Thai Dragon plant, and a yellow sweet pepper plant too. They're relatively easy to grow and for those interested in peppers, I would highly recommend giving them a try. There are also TONS of companies selling different seed varieties online. A consistent company I have ordered from is Reimer Seeds Company. :smokin:

I grow hots too. My favorite visually are Italian cherry bombs. They are so pretty!
Good practice for my OTHER hobby... :D

I HAVE GROWN A COUPLE OF THOSE HOT CHILE PEPPERS, THOSE GARDEN PEPPER KINDS THEY PUT IN THERE WITH THE PAPA JOHNS. U KNOW. ANYWAYS, THEY WERE PRETTY EASY TO GROW. I HAD SOME NICE PEPPERSIN JUST A COUPLE MONTHS. THAT WAS USING JUST NATURAL SUNLIGHT THOUGH. I IMAGINE HPS GROWLIGHTS COULD BE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH HYDROPONICS TO PRODUCE BETTER PEPPERS. THAT IS ALL.


Are peppers addictive?

Yes, peppers are addictive. Peppers contain capsaicin, a natural chemical that sends a burning sensation from the nerve endings in the mouth to the brain. The body defends itself against this pain sensation by secreting endorphins, natural painkillers that cause a physical "rush" - a high that keeps us coming back for more. So indulge your pepper cravings, and rest assured that you will soon build a tolerance.

Because Of You, A lot of people are gonna go scarf down a bunch of peppers, Good For You :thumbsup:

I grow a bit of Habanero plants, I love them :D

Pics of some of my peppers!
The long ones are corne de toro
The round ones are peperoncini (cherry bombs)
There's one lonely ripe jalapeno too.

I'm growing some Bolivian Rainbow chilis and Cayenne chillis. At the moment their only wee babies. I love the colours of the rainbow chilis, the name kinda gives it away lol

This is what i'm hoping for by christmas -

i love peppers too. but i prefer the sweet variety. i didnt have a garden this year but ive had success with a variety called chocolate peppers. they turn purple then brown and are really sweet and yummy. give them a try you'll thank me.

I planted a mix that included some chocolate peppers but of all the varieties those are the ones that didn't come up... or by bum luck there was no chocolate seed in that batch, boo hoo.

I grow the odd vegi as well. I especially like the odd ones.

Anybody like broccoli?
