You will find a lot of fertilizer on Hot Topics, what good it will do your peppers I don't know.

At that rate probably little but you also posted it on Hot Topics which is right now mostly political. There is a lot of politics currently that could add to the growth of your peppers if it could be applied.

If the application was formulated for Hot Peppers then I would keep using it. Many people come up with their own formulas that they swear by, but if you don't happen to have a special one, then there should be no harm in using one that was formulated for your specific application.

I love Peppers. I just discovered a kind of pepper that I have never tasted before.....it's called a Pepperazzi. It's this big round red pepper that is very sweet with a little hint of hot. I haven't actually found them in a jar yet, just at the prepared food counter next to the Sicilian olives.

I use TomatoTone (3-4-6) on my hot peppers. Was applying every 2 weeks. Stopped fertilizing about a month ago.

jerzeegirl look at the pickle isle or in your deli area. I have found them in both.

Favorite hot topics post!

Cecily 7A Yeah I dilute 6ml into 2L

CindyMac(8b) why did you stop?

jerzeegirl look at the pickle isle or in your deli area. I have found them in both.

I probably need to take a trip down to a fancier store. The only brand I have seen that has pepperazzi is DeLallo.

I actually looked in both places but it's okay because I just get them from the olive bar so I'm not without.

Before I had HT bookmarked, I used to click on hot peppers all the time.

Great chuckle for the day!

Hope you get some good advice :)

Jack, I planted too many serranos this year. Should have given away pepper plants like I did tomato plants. I've frozen all that I need and still have a supply in the fridge.

Btw, I let mine turn red before harvesting.

Jack, for comparison my jalapenos started from seed in northern Virginia are about three feet tall and producing. They are growing in a raised bed with garden soil. We feed them Tomato-Tone. If your liquid fertilizer is giving good results, stick with it. If your peppers are lagging, Tomato-Tone is a good choice.

Try smoking the extra peppers after they turn red, In New Mexico they do that to several of the peppers to add a slightly different taste. I have seen them on racks and they appear to be fresh when being smoked.

Smoking peppers sounds like it would be hard on one's lungs.

Years ago I made hot pepper jelly, but we don't really eat jelly and a jar lasts forever. I'm not going through all that just to give 'em away.

CindyMac- my address is..... and your gift will be gratefully appreciated.

I looooove hot pepper jelly. (I gave up making jelly many years ago as no one around me used jelly --- or not enough to keep the number of jars from going up each season. (I even collected rose hips from wild areas and made a wonderful and pretty jelly.)

Hot pepper jelly and chili sauce are good on meatballs.

Lol @Ojo.

I like little red hot peppers. Mine are fed with some Miracle Grow, few alfalfa pelets, and pulverized egg shells. They're laden with fruits.

Mmmm, my church group makes pepper jellies ... now I'm craving it on a cracker with some cream cheese...they need to up the heat with serrano!

I love this thread. Hot Peppers and Hot Topics should get married.

I've heard that the White House has a lot of fertilizer piling up, but you know, I believe it could be contaminated or toxic, so I'd use some nice organic compost, maybe compost tea.

I think you're wrong, Linda. Read that it's San Fran that holds the record for the most piles of toxic fertilizer.

CindyMac, have your tried making hot pepper sauce? There's a lot of hot pepper recipes on Pinterest. I love Thai sweet chili sauce but I don't think it will use up many peppers. I ferment some of my peppers.
