I cleaned out my hole in the ground last week. Going to transplant some of the Mammoth Jalapeno and the one Cayenne today. I need the pots for citrus in a big way.

Hey guys & girls! My first post on RIU!!!:)

Sorry to be late to this thread & late in the season down here in Oz.

I've had Carolina Reapers & Naga Vipers going in coco in my greenhouse this past season (grown from seed-1st year):

The last of the Naga's (plant closest to the camera) are taking forever to ripen. Once they're done, I'm planning on cutting them all back to over-winter & create clones from the cuttings for next season.

Just about everything I've grown this year has been turned into hot sauces.

There's been quite a learning-curve trying to grow these babies hydroponically in 3-gal pots, but I reckon I've got a handle on it. They really don't like a lot of N-rich nutrients, so I'll back-off next season.

BIG props to a couple of people for providing me with seeds that I'll start around Sep/Oct inside & then go nuts with them.

Erm..... Yeah, I DO grow "other" plants, including the Devil's Lettuce....:D

I grew these yellow capsicums last season,, I think in Uncle Sam land you call them peppers , the yellow ones are always about $4 a kilo more to buy in the supermarkets,, yes very sweet very tasty good size,,BUT, they did not yield very well maybe that's why a cost more to buy,, not sure I'll bother with them again,, as the big red ones yield twice as well,, where I am anyway

'Can't remember where I heard it/read it, but some gardening guru advised not to waste your time growing capsicums, as the yeild is poor compared to what you put into the growing them. Much better-off just buying them from the supermarket (albeit at inflated prices) & put the time & effort into chillies instead.

Well that may be so in some areas but definitely not mine,, usually I only need 6 red capsicum plants (they start green obviously) and I have plenty, and are giving them away,, all sorts of chillies grow hair very well to,, out of respect for my stomach I don't bother growing them:fire:

Someone want to let me know if I should prune this Red Habanero or let er rip? Been unseasonably warm up in Alberta so all the vegetables are close to a month ahead of schedule already. Thanks in advance.
