hey sak. yeah those were scotch bonnets. there are several strains. i've grown that wrinkly yellow one before they are good. the 7pods you have are the jonah strain. the regular red 7pods are more naga shaped. i thought there were only a few 7pod strains but neil from THSC keeps finding more all the time. i've got to find the douglahs the brain strain and the barrackpore 7pods. hopefully by next year.

@nagacanario Yes, Neil keeps us all educated on pepper types as they become available. I don't have enough garden space to grow different 7 pod types, though I'd be curious to try them. I am now at a point where I think I'll start honing in on specific peppers and grow them - 7 Pods, Nagas and Paper Lanterns, leaving room for a few types I've never grown before, which I'll decide during the Winter.

Nagacanario, I appreciate it that you keep leaving comments on my videos. Thank you.

peppers turn red after theyv ben on the vine lone enugh even sweet bell and bannana peppers. So once they turn from green to whatever then you can pick them. cues iv ben growin soe habaneros and some sweet bannana peppers and have nan getting promising results from the sweet bannana. The habaneros flowers havent grown into peppers they just shrivel up and fall of but now some of them are getting fatter then ussual so well see. Nice garden by the way.

@slaminblades - I hope you got some nice peppers on those plants.

Thanks for posting the comment.

I wish I could. I have very limited space inside with only one window that gets any sunlight. I was able to pot up only one plant; the Seven Pod from the 2008 garden. It's been giving me peppers all Winter, though and it is thriving and rarin' to get back outside. A few years ago I brought a bunch of plants inside & set them up in the basement under growlights. After a few months the house was full of bugs...the wife was unimpressed. I have to go slow with this hobby now. Thanks for the comment.

do u transplant the pepper plants into a pot whenever fall or winter arrives?

[SAK59]

This is such a common problem. And one with so many potential causes. Could be too hot or too cold. Could be too wet or too dry. Could be too much nitrogen in the soil. Are the plants outside? When the flowers are open, give them a tap or little shake to spread the pollen. Stick in a Q-Tip and dab around.

Okay, seriously, because I made this mistake before someone told me, check the nitrogen in whatever you are feeding the plant. Too much nitrogen CAUSES the buds to drop.

Thanks again.

That was my best season. I am just now coming to the end of my dehydrated, ground up peppers from that yield. Even though the weather has been awful, I am still hoping that things will turn around and this year will be better.

Thanks again for your great comments!
