I guess I am behind on starting my peppers this year.  I ordered some seeds from John Ford's Fiery Foods last weekend and have not heard a word from them yet so I emailed them tonight asking about shipping information.  I am keeping my pepper growing way shorter than anyone elses on here this...

What does the ferment do?  And what is it used for?  I have never heard of a ferment before finding this site.   Thanks, Dave

Mind if I use that recipe for a work chili feed?   ;)

Looking good B.  What are you using to grind your peppers?  I am thinking about using my Ninja blender.

  50°F nights are why I am looking to cut and hang my plants.  It's not like the flowers on the plants are going to form into pods.  Plus I don't want to chance losing the pods I do have.  Call it rookie jitters.

Can you pop the link in here to the other thread please?  I would like to read that as well.   Thanks, Dave

    Holy moly!!!  That's a lot of peppers!!!

Just thought of another question or two.  If I freeze the pods that develop while hanging in the basement should I half them and remove the seeds first or does it matter?  Speaking of hanging, do I need to hang these plants under the grow lights or does that not matter?     On a side note:  ...

  The hot ones I am going to dehydrate and then grind into dust to use for cooking.  I am going to make ABT's for a buddy of mine with a Ghost Pepper and a Butch "T".  He says he can eat anything hot so I am going to test him.  I made Habanero ABT's for him this summer and he ate three of them...

I did some today and followed the recipe and procedure above.  We will see how it turns out in two weeks.   Pickled Banana Peppers done today:       Which peppers are considered thin walled?  I am guessing Ghost's and Trinidads but  not Jalapeno's right?

I am having a hard time cutting my plants.  I really like the Christmas ornament look to the pods hanging off the branches.   ;)   Some pic's from today:   Some pods I harvested yesterday and today.       My pickling setup outside on the deck...Happy wife, Happy life!!!         Here are some...

Thanks for the heads up Jim.  Next question.  Can I dehydrate pods after putting them in the freezer to wait for more pods to ripen?

Well...I finally am getting off my ass and posting these pic's.  Here are my Trinidad Scorpion, Bhut Jolokia and one of my Hab's.  I am going to do as suggested above and cut them off at the stock and hang them upside down so they can get ripe.  One question though.  Do I need to have them under...

I finally have a ripe Trinidad Scorpion and my Bhut colored up too.  I will post the pic's tonight.
