har

I bought some seeds.

Also a nice little shovel, organic soil and some other vegetables.

Now when should I plant them?

I don't know

And here it doesn't say

Also, will they grow above or below the soil?

[Bereta_Eder]

ah much better

[Bereta_Eder]

plant: april or june
depth of plantation 0,5 to 1 cm

lots of sun

30 to 50 cm apart from each seed
not on a windy place

ah! also all peppers that we eat green are immature. all mature peppers will be red
when red the chilli peppers have vitamic A 10 times as much as sweet ones and double the vitamin C

[Proteus_MST]

So, what peppers?

I am currently cultivating a Bhut jolokia plant

[The Mad Monk]

You *bought* soil?

Are you growing indoors, or is your soil that bad?

[Bereta_Eder]

It says it's the green long hot so I imagine it's green chillie ones

[Bereta_Eder]

according to the website, capsaicin ( that's greek for burn) is a substance found in chillie peppers. it activates the same neurotransmitters as pain, so the body tries to expel it and at the same time releases endorphines which make people like chille peppers

Absolutely true ... after the burning from the hotness you get a warm fuzzy feeling in your body.
But beware ... Chilies always burn twice ... once when they enter your body and a second time, when they leave it

I've heard that but never experienced the second exit burn (all the better)
that incldues when going with the so at an indian place and casually swallowing whole an unbelievably hot chillie pepper that made me stare abstently in space, stunned and mute and the SO frantically ordering shrimp chips, water, bread etc

I know that fereling as well ...
we have some indian restaurants here where you can select the level of hotness ...
from not hot to indian hot.

The first time I ate there, I was crazy enough to select indian hotness.
That was the hottest thing I have eaten ever (despite me being used to rather hot dishes) ... and I had to eat it slowly, with help of lots of coke.
(actually now I know that I should better have ordered something milk based to drink ... fat molecules (like suspended in milk) neutralize the capsaicin. Whereas normal water based drinks (like soft drinks) just distribute the capsaicin within your whole mouth ... making it worse)

Whole milk before eating something hot is the way to go. It coats the mouth and thus slows down the oils which contain the spiciness.

Seiously though, I've never had to buy soil for an outdoor garden.

If you're going to try to avoid being affected by the spice, why eat spicy food?

[The Mad Monk]

Why not?

Good point.

It's just used when the hotness gets too much. Bread does the trick too
