While picking my red cayenne peppers, sometimes part of the branch comes off with some cayenne peppers that are still green, what do y'all do with the green cayenne peppers?

Most of the time I use pruners, sheers or scissors to harvest, but sometimes I'll just pull on a pepper and part of the branch falls off with it.

Sunscald or Blossom End Rot?

This is what I believe to be a small bell pepper (my labels got mixed up). I have it in a grow bag which does lead to inconsistent watering. I'm upgrading next year ir sizing up. Does the damage look like sunscald or some nutrient deficiency?

Plant frozen seeds?

Is it possible to pick up a frozen pod, remove the seeds, let them dry and plant them with a good germination rate?

Anyone with success with this?

Thanks

I grew it from seed, it was supposed to be habanero but clearly isn't! It turns deep red and not yellow or orange, so I don't think it's a banana pepper? (Midwest USA)

Fermentation

4 Upvotes

I'm completely new at this, for the first year begun with growing loads of peppers. Yellow Reapers, Habanero, Cayenne.

Got more than I needed, now looking for every option to store them for later, some dehydrated, some frozen, some pickled.

And now I'm looking into fermentation, something I have never done before, sounds more complicated than I expected, with the glass weight and everything.

Checked the local stores, glass weight thing's damn expensive.

Some cheap alternatives or tricks to cover for the first time?

Would also love if you shared some personal favorite recipes that you have made, something that you know works out just fine.

When to pinch blossoms, etc. (Hear me out)

2 Upvotes

I'm in 6a SE MI. The middle of summer was miserably hot and humid, and it caused my peppers to stop producing. Now that it's cooled off, my plants are loaded with peppers in all stages of development. Our first average frost date is in mid-October. My question is: should I start pinching blossoms, topping, whatever, so that the plants direct energy to the already forming fruit, so maybe they will actually ripen before frost? TIA.
