Thank you. We both love hot peppers but never grown them. We buy the pickled hot peppers. I think raw hot peppers might be too hot for me also. Oddly enough my husband hated hot foods. Now he adds franks hot sauce on many foods.
What is funny is that this lemon tree is a survivor. First my last pup chewed it to a stump; it grew back stronger and prettier. Then I dug it up from its original place and put it in a pot on an east patio.
to this clearly resilient tree! Simply because it is forgiving me for putting it through hell and about to bloom fragrant lemon blooms for me!
Maybe I am weird, but I enjoy raking leaves. I also enjoy (love it) shredding leaves to make mulch piles and then selling it. Had a really nice Craftsman shredder, 9 hp years ago. Miss it and the whole process.
As I said, maybe I am weird.
We had about two weeks of "winter". So strange a feeling.
Yes, mine and my neighbors non bearing Bradford Pear trees are sure thing indicators that Spring is arriving when they start to blossom. Also, the darn weeds in my lawn let me know it's time to weed-n-feed.
Am SO jealous. I can't grow a tomato to save my life. Especially here in AZ. So dry. Texas I did a bit better at trying...but was constantly picking off those huge ugly GREEN, horned worms that "pop" when squished and that sound gives me the shivers.
They can eat all the leaves off a tomato plant overnight, and they are SO hard to see and pick off.Ghosts and Reapers and what not is something SO grows and I dispose of by giving away. I am so sorry but Joe just took the last. Duck!
You are correct.Maybe I am weird, but I enjoy raking leaves. I also enjoy (love it) shredding leaves to make mulch piles and then selling it. Had a really nice Craftsman shredder, 9 hp years ago. Miss it and the whole process.
Oh I like this idea. Make our own pepper sauce. Thatās a great idea. Hot banana peppers is a great idea. Maybe we will grow some hot pepper plants. Thanks two step.Ghosts and Reapers and what not is something SO grows and I dispose of by giving away. I am so sorry but Joe just took the last. Duck!
Habanero or Tabasco may work for you. Purple Habanero did really well last year. How about Hot Banana? Water then an hour or so before you harvest. It filter the capsaicin concentration.
Make your own pepper sauce
We had to water our tomato plants everyday while they grew in the 5 gallon buckets. Tomato plants drink a lot of water plus they need feeding and often. Maybe try a small cherry plant and work your way up.Am SO jealous. I can't grow a tomato to save my life. Especially here in AZ. So dry.

We started off all our tomato plants in 5 gallon buckets and then transplanted them into our garden when their roots started poking through the bottom on the container.
Hi dobielvr, five gallon buckets are what we used but we had to transplant them into the ground after a couple of months. Tomato plants grow fast and require a lot of water so if you need to grow them in containers, ten gallon buckets would be better.
I did the trial and error of hot sauces last summer when Sriracha went crazy expensive. Let me know if you want some info.
I got hit with those green caterpillars 3 years ago and wiped out much of the tomato plants but after that as fertilizer I began to use worm castings as fertilizer due to my caladiums and giant elephant ears being hit with white fly after that maybe just luck but no green caterpillars nor white flies .Am SO jealous.
