You may have noticed there isn’t a whole lot visible here. That’s by design. The public side of the forum is mostly where I post Pepper Guru announcements, updates and other stuff everyone should be able to see.

The rest of the community is for Pepper Guru Members.

What's in the Members Area?

This is where most of the actual discussion happens. Members can introduce themselves, hang out in the Member Lounge, keep Pepper Grow Logs, ask for help in Pepper Support, share recipes in the Pepper Kitchen, talk growing methods in Pepper Guides, Teks and How To's, share photography, and generally nerd out about peppers with the rest of us.

It's also where I can get a lot more detailed when somebody needs help with a plant than I can on Facebook, Instagram or in a YouTube comment section.

How Do I Become a Member?

Pretty simple. Grab any qualifying Pepper Guru membership gear from the store.

The original Pepper Guru T-Shirt and Pepper Guru Trucker Cap are two options, and you can see the rest of the current membership gear here.

Once you've purchased a qualifying item, your account is automatically moved to Member and the rest of the Members forums will appear.

No monthly subscription. No recurring membership fee. Buy the gear, become part of the community, and come talk peppers with us.

And if you're already a Member and you're wondering what that Passport Holders section is... well, that's another rabbit hole entirely.
