The jalapenos are doing great, they are loaded with peppers and I already harvested some to make some jalapeno powder.
The Cayenne peppers are looking good and though they are a little late, I am just waiting for them to just begin to change color before I dry them and make some cayenne powder.
The bell peppers are not doing quite as well the ones above have a pretty bad sunburn.
Not quite as bad a sunburn…but still a waste.
Not sure what this one is…any ideas?
width=”550″ height=”367″ /> Nearly August and I decided it is finally time to bring the peppers out from the garage, though in some ways they are doing so well in the heated grow box with a killer 120 watt Extreme Flower LED lighting not sure if I should chance it but looking at the upcoming forecast this might be as good as it gets. So far my peppers in…
width=”550″ height=”367″ /> Well this is the soonest I have gotten peppers growing, but the temperature controlled grow box did help out a lot. I brought this pant indoors last year when it still had a half dozen green peppers on it when the temperatures started to decline. The peppers turned red and a picked and dried them out for cayenne powder and sort of forgot about this plant. …
width=”550″ height=”412″ /> One of the good things about a cold summer is still getting harvests of summer vegetables now into October. Got another cucumber for summer fall pickles and some tomatoes I have ripening inside which this weekend I used to make some low carb pizzas. One thing I was especially excited about was my jalapenos finally getting ready to be picked which I will dry and make…
My jalapeños peppers have been growing like crazy and I have had to start harvest to prevent the plants from stop producing. Given my tomatoes are still green I have been itching to do something with them, I decided to make some corn salsa. Given I couldn’t find a recipe that matched the ingredients I had on hand I decided to make my own. CVG Black Bean and Corn…
Right about now the temperatures outside should be increasing and I should be thinking about start hardening off my summer plants over the next few weeks. Unfortunately we seeing hail the past few days along with some pretty cold nights. Looks like even though I was fairly pessimistic about my last frost date I may have another battle of tomatoes/peppers over taking the growbox or bring them out into…
My jalapeno peppers did great this year. So good I didn’t really know what to do with all of them. After making some salsa and having several mature red ones as snacks in the garden, I still have about two pounds that I didn’t want to go to waste. After a little thought I decided to make some pickled jalapeno peppers. CVG Picked jalapeno pepper recipe 1 cup vinegar…

Sorry to hear about the bell peppers, hopefully when I get home from vacation mine haven’t suffered the same fate. Though I have noticed that my cayanne peppers, even though they bloomed and fruited on schedule they haven’t turned yet either. I am still waiting for my Jalapenos to really start producing, when i left they had finally started to flower along with the Serranos and the Lima Beans.
Good news is I am not really much for bell peppers…I actually though these were going to be smaller yellow sweet peppers.
The last pic looks like blossom end rot to me. If it is more calcium would fix that.
Mary C. that was my guess. Think the calcium is ok, though uneven watering is probably the cause of this one. Had some pretty hot days with these growing in some small pots.
In a gallon of water, I add a teaspoon of blackstrap molasses and 1/4 tsp. epsom salt. This provides a nice shock of calmag to prevent BER or most sunburning.
Thanks for the advice, trick is to remember to do this before the damage is done 🙂
