Re: really hot peppers
Two of my SWC (bucket) peppers "overwintered", and are blooming heavily.
Specimen 1 is a Yellow bhut jolokia...
Specimen 2 is a Red Savina...
Both plants were pruned back severely last fall, after most leaves had dropped. Both were kept indoors until Spring. They were dormant until placed in full sun. I've fed them with nutrient solution several times.
Their main stems are woody stumps with new growth at many points all around!

Re: really hot peppers
Kay, I know I keep posting my hot peppers in your regional forum, but it's just such a great thread!
My chili pequin peppers are starting to put out. They have great flavor and burn like molten lava. They may be tiny, but these little suckers pack an incredible punch

saving seeds
Regarding saving pepper seeds
While not terribly expensive I would sure like to know if these cayanetta pepper plant
seeds could be saved for next year, and how to prepare them.
I paid $8.00 for 25 seeds, if I can save that, I would like to.
I have2 in hanging baskets, 1 in a container that is growing like crazy, a couple in the SFG bed.
I tried a few smaller peppers and they aren't very hot..kind of think they will improved with age..
As we do...

Covers prevent evaporation, infestation, and discourages critters from digging.
The tube is used (with a funnel) when needed to replenish the bottom reservoir with water or nutrient solution.

We make "Ghost" paste, "Ghost" jelly, pickled "Ghost" , dried "Ghost".
I'll likely try "Ghost" hot sauce this year. Or maybe I'll try pods from my "Chocolate Scorpion" (the NEW world's hottest) growing nearby.

Re: really hot peppers
I don't think mine qualify as 'really' hot peppers, but I did just pick my first 3 chiles this afternoon. My cilantro is going crazy and my tomatoes are starting to blush, so I see salsa in my future!

Re: really hot peppers
Don't think I've seen a chocolate scorpion before. I have a chocolate habenaro. Be sure to save some seed.

Re: really hot peppers
These are a 1st for me, too! I had Chocolate Habaneros last year. I'll save seed, and I hope to also save the plant! The Scorpion is reportedly the new "world's hottest pepper", last year supplanting the Habaneros.walshevak wrote:Don't think I've seen a chocolate scorpion before. I have a chocolate habenaro.

Re: really hot peppers
I planted two Carolina Reaper seeds and they have sprouted. I was going to put them in my SFG but read that they grow 5' tall and 4' wide. I am going to have to plant the somewhere else.

Re: really hot peppers
2014 update. I have some ripe scorpians. Added 1 deseeded to a a pot of tomatoes and basil for canning. Should make a good spaghetti base.
My yellow cayenne produced fairly well this year and the tiny, but hot, Philippine peppers are finally ripening.
Popo, how are your reapers doing. My son would love some seeds.

Re: really hot peppers
Hello,
Planning purple jalepeno, chocolate habaneros and ghost peppers next year. I like heat, the more the better.

Re: really hot peppers
Kay one Reaper plant died and the other was almost eating by tomato worms but I saved it but hasn't produced any pEppers but produced a lot of blooms. Any ideas? My Sister inlaw gave me the seeds but you can get them from www.thepuckerbuttcompany.com. I think that's the website. They are also on Facebook.

Re: really hot peppers
If the reaper is still living, try to overwinter it in a sunny window. I set one in front of my sliding door. Trim it back and just keep it watered lightly until next spring. Give it a good top dressing feeding when you put it back outside. You just need to keep it above freezing.Popo wrote:Kay one Reaper plant died and the other was almost eating by tomato worms but I saved it but hasn't produced any pEppers but produced a lot of blooms.

Sounds like your peppers didn't pollinate. I give my peppers a good thump as I walk by them. Seems to work but bees are better. My Philippine peppers didn't bloom until Sep this year and I'm just now getting ripe peppers.
My son overwintered a plastic greenhouse full of peppers using a small space heater. That was year before last when we had a normal winter, below freezing but not for extended periods. He even had peppers blooming and forming a few fruits. Last year was a little harder (more expensive), but the peppers survived.

Re: really hot peppers
How far should I trim? My Ghost peppers did good and my Thi Hot peppers did fine. My Reaper is in a bucket and the other two are in my SFG.

Re: really hot peppers
This is how far I trimmed mine that were kept in a mini green house. Others, I topped taller with more leave nodes.
Re: really hot peppers
My Ghost Pepper Plant has peppers all over it and still in my SFG. My Carolina Reaper plant was in a bucket with Mel' s Mix and I noticed it had a couple of little peppers on it before bringing it inside for the fall and winter. Thanks for telling me to thump the blossoms Kay I think that worked. I am on a smartphone but can't figure how to pout pictures here.
