I have a Thai Dragon Chili plant and a Habanero plant in a 3'X 3' container outside, along with an early girl tomato plant and another tomato which I can't remember what variety it is. Each of these plants are sitting in one corner of the container All of them are doing brilliantly, except my poor Habanero. They were all planted at the same time and get the same amount of sun, water, food etc but that Habanero is just not growing at all and what little leaves it still has are tiny and look shrivelled.. any tips or ideas? Thanks, NCRL!

Does your family eat all those peppers?

so yes, we somehow manage to use them all!

Mmmmmmm, peppers. Although I think that I will pass on the "Trinidad Scorpion Butch T" if you don't mind.

I have never seen so many beautiful peppers! I especially like sweet peppers, but love to use hot peppers in cooking. Forget about me eating them whole like I do with the sweet ones. I eat Bell Peppers like apples. Those purples are intriguing, and beautiful.

Just so you can get a good laugh at my expense, last year I was given a peck of hot peppers. I set to work cleaning them and dicing them for freezing. I contemplated wearing gloves, but hate using gloves, and they didn't feel like they were that hot....no burning on my hands. Well, this is easy to guess......when I was done with the whole peck, I washed my hands. And they stung. And they started to burn. And get hotter and hotter. That whole night, I was one misery lady. But I am not stupid....I will not do that again.

If I remember correctly, I was here on DU asking for help.

Thought I washed my hands well. Got up in the middle of the night to pee.

Unbearable Pain....the true Fire Down Below!

showered- my wife asked me why I was showering at 3 AM.

I am much more careful now!

The hands burned so much that I just knew not to touch anything else.

But I am.
