Do not plant them too close to the house as I’ve heard they can crack or eat away at the foundation.
Wrong..... Carolina Reaper.
HA! Gringo mouth!
Learning experiences ...
They’ll help keep tomato hornworms away from your other vegetables.
Why take any chances................just lay a field of Claymores........
Don’t touch the pepper. Don’t let kids touch the pepper.
No kidding.
Don’t worry about dogs or kids— they’ll only mess with them once. Ghost peppers are great. Let them grow til they’re nice and red— they’re sweeter that way.
Don’t ever drip pepper juice on toilet paper in questionable public places.
That is just mean and makes people sad.
No heat.
Will go to Lowes tomorrow to find some seeds for these "hot" peppers.
if planted near sweet peppers they may cross pollenate. They won’t get much milder, but the sweet peppers will get really hot!
You're gonna need a bigger bottle.
I picked up one, and he’s been guarding the back door of the house.
Generally, hot pepper plants of all kinds have been the prettiest plants in the garden, even including flowers (a lot of flowers have pretty blooms, but are kinda ugly everywhere else, IMHO). I like to keep them in pots, and bring them in as the weather slips toward frost, peppers are among the least resistant to that. As the hot pepper plants *can* be grown from seed, that’s cheaper, but pepper seeds by and large only last about four years before their germination rates fall off substantially. It’s cheaper and probably more fun to keep the plants alive in the house and put ‘em back out in the spring.
Their relatives the tomato are generally the best seeds in storage. About 20 years ago the germ plasm storage facility pulled some old, uncatalogued packs out of the back of a drawer (as it were). They were researched a bit, no one had heard of the company or the variety, and it turned out to be from around the Civil War.
They had over 90 percent germination, and estimated that the fresh batch of seeds obtained will not fall below 50 percent for 250 years or so.
