The superhot that scorched empires: From Trinidad's ancient Kairi (Land of the Hummingbird) to colonial "Devil's Pepper" sins, this chili's 7,000-year rename game birthed Scorpions, Reapers & Jolokias. Unmask the theft in my new blog. #SuperhotHistory #ChiliMyths

30 years of pepper seedling mistakes… so you don’t have to make them. From bad soil to weak lights to myths that ruined my yields—this one’s a game changer. Plus: I’m giving away 3D-printed seed dryers!

Sakata bell peppers separate from the plants easily making them suitable for mechanical harvest. Variety in this video is ‘Arica’

I just launched a fund-raising campaign for the experimental evolution robot! I wanna build a bunch for educators to test in their classroom and give students a handy tool to explore evolution in action. Please RT; every penny counts! 💚 experiment.com/projects/affo…
