Beautiful pods Dan, it looks like your hoop house is making the most of your season. Season is over here.

Believe it or not, those pods were from the small raised bed. I really haven't even touched what is under the hoop house yet. The picture of the fataliis from the other day were just from me being inside of it doing reinforcements for a windstorm. Just going to be a late one.
Another harvest (this time from the large bed)
A pile of Fresnos
A mountain of Chocolate Habs
Aji Mochero
Bhut Jolokia Indian Carbon
Fataliis and Aji Lemon Drops
Now if the snow we are expecting on Friday evening doesn't kill what's left in the hoop house, I could even get another harvest out of it. Only time will tell.

I love posts like these. It makes my hobby seem almost normal to my wife...

And you thought you were not going to get any pods this year...
Honestly man, if I hadn't put up the temporary hoop house over the big bed, I wouldn't have had nearly this many.
This was how things looked on Saturday morning
...and here's how things looked today:

What are you going to do with all those pepper? looks like you have your work cut out for you!
How much more do you think you will get? that house was sure worth the time to put up.
way to milk it buddy!

Most of the plants survived with the exception of some broken branches and some plants near the exterior with frozen pods. Otherwise, things are still looking pretty good in there. I've been using a candlelantern in the hoophouse at night to maintain an above freezing temperature and it appears to be working. I'm going to jump in there this afternoon after the sun has had a chance to warm up the entire thing. If I can get one more flush of ripening pods, I'll be beyond happy!
I normally tie them into ristras for drying but I have been using them in sauces recently.
Same here, thanks for the reply...
I might do something funky looking with the ristas to throw on and wear during the "Spring" plant sales...

Simply amazing in variety and quantity. Nicely done... 
You've got me thinking I could put a mini-hoop house over a couple of my raised beds next season. Did you use yours at the beginning of the season, then take down, then put it back at the end?
Glad it helped you dodge the snow bullet!

No, with the way my 2011 season was shaping up, I decided to build this before the first frost hit. I may do the same thing at the beginning of the 2012 season depending on the weather. We had such a late plant out this spring in the northeast and then such a cold, rainy autumn I didn't think I'd ever get any pods.
