That's it for now; hopefully more to pick in 4 more days.
 
Thanks MW. I don't have that many plants but plan to start more next year.

3 - Fatalii #3 was a late start (check my 8-14-09 Harvest/Update for pics)
3 - Naga Morich (One was overwintered but lost a main branch early in the season)
2 - Red Habs (One was overwintered)
3 - Datils (One was overwintered but none ripe on it this round)
2 - Fish (One was potted up from a 16oz cup a few weeks ago)
1 - Bolivian Rainbow
1 - Black Pearl
1 - Giant Thai Hot (An annuum overwintered that I don't bother picking much anymore as its heat/flavor doesn't compare to my others)

I also have some bells and poblanos in pots and in my garden.

Oh, and I have one very, very late Fatalii start that might provide some ripe pods b4 winter arrives; I'll just have to wait and see. It'll be small enough to place in a window this winter and hopefully extend my Fatalii season. :)
 
Looking good SS, looking very good! I'm definitely growing Datil next year. I've never tasted one before and everyone seems to like them.
 
Muchas gracias amigos.

SS, You have some nice looking pods there! You gonna make atomic powder with those? :D

I'm leaving the powders separate for the most part so I can experiment with different blends. Lately I've just been drying pods for grinding blending later. I recently smoked and dried some poblanos that I plan on blending with some other powders.

Right now I have enough powder to last a little while longer. ;)

You have any powder made yet Josh? I might just include a sample when we do our trade this fall. ;)

Nope as of yet I have not done any grinding. I have accumulated a bunch of dehydrated pods but I haven't really gotten any big harvests. My raised bed plants are doing great but my potted ones basically stopped growing through the entire month of July. They yellowed and I couldn't correct whatever the problem was. I know it was crazy, especially because it was the middle of the summer, but I transplanted them all into the ground. I am glad I did too because they are starting to bounce back. As a result of there condition, they don't have a ton of pods on them but they are growing and are starting to make more flower buds. They are still going to give me plenty of pods but it is a bit frustrating. I obviously don't have container growing down. I still have no idea what I was doing wrong. Also what was weird is that it effected my chinese varieties the worst. They were the ones that became pale yellow.
But anyway, to make a long story longer. No. I haven't been grinding yet but I will probably start up once September rolls around.

Oh plus I haven't forgot about trading. I have tried to make note of those that wanted to trade. I hope I haven't, but I probably have failed to mark down everybody. Either way hopefully I can get everyone what they want once we get into Fall.

that dried powder looks awesome. what do you use to grind them?

I was using a small coffee grinder, but it wouldn't hold very much at a time and the safety switch on it failed anyway. Now I use a 12oz Mason crystal jelly jar and a screw on blade assembly for my blender with a new set of sharp blades. Works great, holds more dried peppers per load and cleanup is a breeze. I'd advise wearing a dust mask when unloading potent stuff like Naga powder though. ;)
