frankfarter! asked:


does anyone have any good links on the net or tips on growing these peppers? i live in western canada by the ocean where the tempuratue is usually aound 25-30 degrees during the summer months. we also get lots of sunlight during the summer. i have quite a bit of garden space so this is not an issue.

since i live near the ocean there is usually a nice breeze throughout the summer, so it doesn’t get humid, do i need to cover the plants in sunlight to preplicate humid tropical weather?

thanks!

kathleenjohnson asked:


have a small potted bonsai tree at home. It is not doing well no matter what window I put it in. I’d like to bring it to work and keep it in my office, but there is no natural sunlight there, just flourescent lights. Someone else has houseplants in their office, and they do well in the flourescents, but I’m not sure if it’s the same way for a bonsai.

A asked:


I would like to start caring for a bonsai plant as a hobby, can someone advise me on which type of tree would be a good starter plant?

I want to know what type of tree is best to train it to be teeny tiny, I would like it to be 12 inches or less. Even smaller would be great.

Also, I would LOVE a variety that produces flowers.

This would be a mainly indoor bonsai, though I wouldn’t mind bringing it outside for fresh air on nice days.

Thank you in advance!

Now, recently, I’ve just purchased a bonsai tree and planned on keeping it in my room. However, upon the recently found news that bonsai trees are prone to insects and bugs, I am now reconsidering my decision to keep it indoors. Do you think the bugs would possibly roam around my house or anything of the sort? Thanks in advance.

While planting some hot pepper seeds I read a note on the back of the seed package saying that hot peppers should be planted in a different part of the garden than sweet peppers as cross pollination will cause the hot peppers to lose their heat. I’ve never heard of this before. Is this possible?

I have a Sagaretia Chinese Bird Plum Bonsai tree. I keep it in my bedroom window, but because the sun only hits my window directly in the afternoon, could that effect the growth and health of my bonsai. Or would i have to move it from one side of the house to the other?

Cayenne Peppers growing in our garden?
I’ve been picking them and just letting them sit out on my counter to dry out. Is this okay to do? When they’re dried should I put them in a container or what? Also, I’m going to use them for my salsa I’ll be canning in the next couple weeks. Whats the best way to grind up the cayenne peppers and how much should I add to each jar of salsa for a medium spicy flavor?
