I recently pickled some banana peppers and the flavor is great but the texture is a little mushy. Can anyone help me with this kind of problem?

Try Pickle Crisp. I have heard it work for other vegetables, maybe it will also work for peppers.

Wow this threads still alive...

Anyhow, all the peppers died, the South Florida heat burned the little seedlings and I was needing to water everyday because the soil would dry up. I guess I should have put them in a non-direct sunlight area but I don't really have one in my yard.

Not sure what netting that is. I think I'll just buy a planter rack, place it on side of house and use better soil. I had use Miracle Gro Growers Choice Organic I think was the name. Either way it was crap I transplanted the jiffys into it and it did nothing and dried up SUPER fast. I gotta see if there foxfarm around here.

Can't wait to get some new seeds for next year.

This year was my first time growing chillies, and I've now got tons of Orange Habaneros that I'm not sure what to do with. Will make for an interesting christmas dinner! hehe

Have been salivating over pics from various chilli seedbanks, can't decide what to get... this whole seed business really is turning into an addiction!

Anybody growing Cascabel peppers? I got a few seeds from a buddy and started them recently. The pepper I tried had an awesome garlicky heat....great flavor.

Can you guys give me some "hints and tips" for growing peppers, mainly germination of the bhut jolokia

out of about 15 bhut seeds i had 13 germinate (7 days for fastest, 18 for slowest) using a moist paper towel inside a plastic bag. i put them in the cabinet next to my fridge, which stays pretty warm. keeping seedlings warm and moist makes them germinate faster

They are "party-trick" material.. :D i must have tricked at least 5 ppl with this pepper :bandit:

Pound for pound,, then these tiny purple fruits stand proud and HOT against even the most potent Peruvian or Habanero pepper,, just below a Scotch Bonnet on the scoville scale we estimate. The flowering period is reduced due to the influence of the Hungarian Black pepper,, which is mild yet one of the quickest to grow.

Gastronomically FRT Black Twilight is a most versatile pepper. x1 on these tiny fruits (which are Numex Twilight dominant in strength) will spice up an Indian curry or Chinese stir-fry nicely. But x2 of the fruits makes for a spicy ride on a Mexican jambalaya.

The fruits also pickle well, and retain much of the heat that isn't imparted into the vinegar, which is excellent for cooking.

Very interesting :yes: cool plant :D

The flowers of the parent Hungarian Black,, where purple as above. But the flowers of FRT Black Twilight are white... just like the parent Numex Twilight

FRT Black Twilight plant in its 3rd season (year) of growth... in early summer.. lol

This plant ^^^ produced plenty fruits each season. The more you pick them the faster they produce more flowers (in the growing season)... this plant alone must have reaped over x100 fruits. enough to share about anyhow :D

The seed collected were taken from mature fruits only... 100% organic,, cultivated under natural sunlight, towel dried before packaging with any withered seeds removed.

peace n flowers that make hot fruits to ALL

Cheers Doc, that plant looks lovely, I can see me getting a pack or two of those when I next get seeds :)

The shot of the younger plant looks similar to my bigger Orange Hab, the way it's leaning forward in the pot, might try and train it back the other way this year see if I can make an interesting shape!

@Buddah - The Lemon Drop is another name for the Aji Limon I have just ordered I think, very cool looking thing, it was the first strain to catch my eye when I was first reading up about peppers, can't wait to get some going this year. They're suppose to be lovely with chicken or seafood... :dance013:
