Between my garden and the overflow pepper plants in my Dad's garden, more that 230 plants.......

wow, 230 plants.....That's great....and scary. The dehydrator will be getting a good work out..

LGHT · Aug 25, 2009

Wow what a harvest! I picked 10+ peppers (the most ever at once) and was happy. However with 230 plants you sure have earned the rewards. What do you do with all those peppers???

WACOFlyer · Aug 25, 2009

I mainly dry them in the dehydrator. This year, I am going to try to make some canned puree.
BTW, I have over 8 pounds of red Hab powder in various containers.(yellow SB, red SB, white bullet, etc.) That's just for starters for my powder.....

Very nice harvest. 230 plants must keep you very busy.

What other chili varieties do you have?

Nice haul of peppers.

What do you do to your Hab powder to get it that color?

Pepper Ridge Farm · Aug 29, 2009

Dude, either your picking your peppers green or that looks a whole lot like ground bud the kind Iggy likes. Nice stash, hate to be so blunt but am I the only one double toked. Beautiful green chili powder don't think any capsaisin in the leaves. Just look what this site has come to anything for a buzz. :high:

Just got home from seeing Sam Bush, pepper look great! :drunk:

bigt · Aug 29, 2009

ROFL Cappy. Yeah, that is definitely some green powder. Do Jalapenos make good powder? Anybody ever dry them and grind?
