I did a photo survey of the pepper plants on the patio and in the Earthboxes and wanted to capture them in their ripe state before a big harvest. I captured all of the super hot peppers, a couple eggplants and a tree in this set. The title photo is a Trinidad Scorpion ‘Butch-T’ variet...

Importing Biological Controls for my Aphid Problem
Bhut Jolokia Treating and Indoor gardenSunny 28°C / 82°F
I imported some ladybird beetles that I found in my garage, (found on the inside of the garage door trying to get out), onto my aphid-afflicted Bhut Jolokia that was brought inside this winter.
I had found a 7-spot lady beetle several weeks ago, brought it inside to eat some aphids, but it left m...

Cloudy 8°C / 47°FI harvested 5 Bhut Jolokia peppers today. After eating one fresh earlier this week, (and cauterizing my tongue) I’m looking for other, better ways to utilize the incredible heat and the sweet flavor. I’ve moved the plant indoors to ripen all of the peppers and possibly begin spending ...

Bhut Jolokia showing some color
Patio Pots garden and Bhut Jolokia RipeningCloudy 24°C / 76°FI was surprised this morning to look out the window and see orange/red reflecting off of a Bhut Jolokia pod! I have been concerned that they won’t ripen a pepper before frost, but now I know that at least one will ripen, and I can collect seeds from that one at least. This is one pot with t...

Bhut Jolokias Moving to Larger Home
Bhut Jolokia Transplanted and Can garden31°C / 87°FI repotted my Bhut Jolokias today, as they have stalled out in their small, self-watering 2 -liter pot. There is no place inside that I can put the large pot and grow them up for the rest of the year, so they’re being moved outside. They have never been outside yet, so I’m putting the...

7°C / 45°FThe Three Bhut Jolokias in this self-watering pot are very happy in their spot by the window. The original pepper-in-a-can Bhut is not doing as well. Given this rate of growth, this small pot may not be large enough. We’ll see how this plays out.

Rainy 4°C / 39°FToday I dug in the can and removed all but one of the Bhut Jolokias living there. Interesting note about the Patent Magic Plant can system. This is a small hydroponic system. Under the top layer of vermiculite, there is a mixture of small rockwool pieces (that look like cotton) and small clay pel...
