That garlic looks really nice Scott! Y'know... the Sicilians say that garlic is better than 10 mothers, and they love their mothers! Lol!

Holy cow Scott. I know your season is early but those plants are monsters. If only we all could have such success, great growing!!!

I'm going to be cutting it close regarding the pod setting. 90's slated for next week, sunshades going up this weekend.

We got 2.7"s today of rain, our place needed it! Hail was forecast, we lucked out :shh:

Hi Mikey,

Those I believe were posted by Adam (bhuter). No ripe pods here yet, but I'm ready!

Devv · May 5, 2018

We'll be picking a few peppers tomorrow, Gochu's are coming on!

Brainreapers look like they're going orange, maybe red?

Aji Dulce's. They have the Chinense taste with zero heat.

Not knowing when to pick these I googled. Don't google big black mamma, you get results based on the wrong type of heat....if you know what I mean

But when I did correctly google big black mama, the site said they range from deep red/black to a dark brown. So I'm guessing mine are going to be the color above...

Grape maters showing color first!

Oh yeah, I posted those from last years' grow. Thank you! I love this variety. It was very fruity with floral notes to it. Aroma was potent. It was a lot hotter than expected, too. It has the prickly scorpion burn, at least to me. I made a pot of chili last week and only used one crushed, dried pod (2 halves) to heat it up to nose-running level. I have one plant of it this year and it's going in my "sweet spot" in the garden. Highly recommended! I can send seeds your way if you need any.

Truly stellar results Scott! Glad your chiles and 'maters are coloring up. I'd be curious to hear your take on flavor and aroma after adding your soil amendments this year. I think I notice a difference, but wondered if you do to.

That BBM looks like it'll really hurt... I'm looking forward to your review and pics! [emoji2]

Alright!!! Ripening is happening!!! I like the texture of the BBM & Brain Reaper. Surely they will be evil. Maters, too? Amazing!

Excellent to see your hard work producing such great results Scott ... Agree with Adam great outer skin on the BBM pod is it one of many

I'm pleased with the results so far. LB and I are making a Poblano based sauce for chicken enchiladas at the moment. We're adding some extra Padrons and Gochu's to the recipe for more flavor. I will say when scorching the Pobs, the aroma was great, much better than store bought, or even last years. The best thing for me is the fruit sizes are larger. I always wondered how the store bought peppers got so large

We're finally seeing it here this season....

I picked both BBM peppers today, one to gift to my buddy at our favorite Mexican restaurant the other to share some pain at work!

Evil I'm sure!

We're getting good results, and should do really well if the heat holds off a bit longer. I only have 2 pods from that plant. The weather has been rather sketchy; too many late cold fronts causing flower drop. Now it wants to be 90° tomorrow. We have such a short season due to the fast ramp up in temps.

Devv · May 6, 2018

LB and I didn't get much done this weekend; we had #5 G-kid over since Friday. Charlytte is just 2 and it's been 14 years since we watched one so young. She wore us out!

LB took her Peach picking this morning.

We would really like to not pick them when they still have some green on them; but it's us or the birds....

A modest pull.

Pain for my fellow employees who dare in the morning :shh:
