Tomato Forum but no Pepper forum?

[brambleoak]

Wondering if we have a Pepper forum and I missed it??? I know there are a lot of "mater growers but what about us pepper nuts?

Me loves to grow them peppers.....

Jan,

Excuse me, you are in the wrong line. This is request for Greenhouse Forum line.

As a botanically-minded moderator, *I* asked for a Solanacea Forum, but apparently, significantly less people search for "Solanacea" as compared to "Tomato" and people looking for Tomato growing info do NOT search using "Solanacea" as the key word

I think these ideas need to be sown. Whether they germinate and grow or not depends on how much care/attention are supplied/demanded.

more important Solanoideae subfamily.

Eric, I googled Solanoideae (and I see why you said that) but -- Google gave me list of Solanaceae:

"Showing results for Solanaceae. Search instead for Solanoideae"

Try it.

Google Solanoideae subfamily and you get different hits.

Good night Applestar.

Couldn't it say Solanaceae Forum (Tomatoes, Peppers, etc) ?

Then search engines looking for Tomatoes would find it.

I agree that care of tomatoes and peppers are pretty similar. In theory, they are prone to the same diseases. However, in practice, my peppers seem to be much less prone to any disease than my tomatoes. But to make up for it slugs love my peppers and never touch the tomatoes....

[applestar]

So stick all your pepper posts in the Tomato Forum and see if they "take root" -- then the forum title might "grow a new leaf".

... If the Tomato Forum grows big enough and get overcrowded, the peppers just might get divided out and "repotted/transplanted" into a forum of their own.

[DoubleDogFarm]

Yes, yes and yes.

Oh boy... did I open a can of worms or what. Sorry....

Jan,

All in good fun.
