Me 2. What’s your favorite shade of blue? :slight_smile:

The last of my 2023 Carolina Reapers. I’m going to make a hot sauce with them and will post the recipe in the Recipes thread.

Lack of time, root rot, and mites really took a toll this year. This is probably the bulk of what I will get before frost.
Tobacco, white reaper, chocolate ghost, jalapeno, fatali, scotch bonnet, bell, and Marconi I think is what’s here.

They may need warmer temperatures :man_shrugging: to start flowering (?) I have no idea whether photoperiod affects blooming. :blush: :hot_pepper:

Just had some of the oil I made the other night & it’s definitely hotter than the average person can enjoy. :joy:

Hello everyone, for some reason, every time I grow peppers the first of the flowers to open up just fall off , I loose quite a lot of flowers before an fruit comes in . That can’t be normal can it?

That’s normal. Usually when they start to flower they put out way to much an drop quite a bit but after a little wile they calm down.

Sometimes they’ll do it if the soil drys out or if it’s to cold out as well, I personally wouldn’t worry if the plant just started to flower.

Make sure you give the pepper plant a shake to ensure pollination. They are like a tomato plant in that respect.

I usually pluck off flowers until they are going good . I like to process as many as I can at one time. My first squash always dud until the plant gets bigger.

I planted in the spring along with two others which were in much smaller pots and have since been harvested , this one in the big pot has just began to flower and is humongous compared to the othere two .
Also I have already eaten a couple right from the plant and wowđŸ”„hot , my ass was on fire!
