Question:
Hey Jamie. Its Mike I’m Wash.DC. I love my plant looks like I may get more than 100 peppers off my plant. Your seeds R top shelf!!!!
Mike
Answer:
Aloha Mike,
Cool! Glad that you are satisfied. Your plant looks great! How hot are the peppers? You can save the seeds from your peppers but make sure that you wait until the peppers are very red before you pick them. This will make sure that the seeds are mature and will reproduce.
Cheers,
Jamie

I am needing some recipes since I am not familiar with the Ghost Pepper at all and don’t want to burn anyone’s palettes yet we do like a kick. Is there a site I can go to for some recipes?
Thanks,
Diane
Aloha Diane, Jamie here. Just cut back on the Bhuts. I mean WAY back. I have found that it is best to dry the Bhuts and then grind them up. Put the flakes into a shaker jar like you see at Pizza restaurants and use it very sparingly. In this manner, you can control the heat way better. It is great to use the flakes for rubs, and to marinate fish, beef, etc. But start out with just a wee bit. I ruined many a dish when I first started using my peppers.
Cheers, and aloha,
Jamie

Hi Jamie,
I’m still growing my Bhuts. The plants are about 2′ tall, and they should start providing peppers soon. I can’t wait. I am really looking forward to trying fresh peppers.
I just ordered some dehydrated and sun dried Bhuts because I really can’t wait to try them…
Thanks for the products, and the advice.
Thanks,
Steve
Cheers Steve,
And thank you for your business.
Jamie

Hey Jamie,
I am a first-time chile pepper grower, but I’m already hooked. My jals and habs are growing quite nicely, which is a surprise for suburban Boston (but I’m not complaining). I started my bhuts pretty late in the season (I germinated the seeds in late May)….really late for New England. They are inside under a grow-light now. I have four plants…..6, 8, 10, and 18 inches tall. They look OK, but I’m worried they won’t make ti through the winter. Any advice for keeping them alive? If these guys survive the winter, next summer will be an amazing pepper year.
Thanks. Your website is awesome.
Christian
Thanks Christian! I just posted an old blog on our home page regarding ‘wintering” peppers. If you need any additional information, please get a hold of me. Aloha.

I am a first time Bhut grower and im not sure if i started late. I have only one plant that is about 2-3ft tall and is starting to bud peppers eveywhere! it has even branched off at the base and is budding there too. But i am worried that with the weather changing i will loose them all. as of now the bhut is in a large pot outside. (planting in the ground is not a option for me) I live in VA. and where getting alot of stormy weather. (huricane season) Am i going to be ok? My plant looks healthy as of now but im still worried.
