Good seeing everyone harvesting! Keep your tally and totals! I would make a post that I could keep editing and updating but apparently, editing permissions have changed quite a bit around here. Either way, we will get it done!

Actually!!! Everyone that is competing and has harvested should send me a personal email to richblood@gmail.com - subject line "2017 Aji Lemon Drop Harvests" include your THP member name and total weight so far. Thanks! I'll get a spread sheet going and post an updated list every few weeks in this thread. That should do it.

We could do a google share doc or something :)
 
My Ajji LDs have finally put on some new growth and branches.  
Have picked pods off all three plants.
 
The Growdown plant. Gets some shade on hot days, so is the
better looking of the three:

New branches emerging from trunk:

Plant with 1/4 of top missing.  Probably should have
chosen this plant  :rofl: :

I don't have a recent pic of the third plant - it is pretty scrawny.
 
The first harvest from the grow down plant:

Its been crazy around here. Wife broke her ankle, had surgery, stays off it for 3 months. It's been nuts.

Sorry to hear about the wife's ankle. Hope she has a speedy recovery.

Well done. Pepper Guru isn't just a catchy name.

That is amazing plant. I wouldn't expect anything less. I went to 7gallon this year. A big difference from 5. Didn't have the room for anything bigger. Next year I'll try a bigger shoe. With the greenhouse, It should work. In the past, the season wasn't long enough for the plants to grow into.

Congrats! That monster is still growing.

Rich, I don't know that you'll be getting emails from me very soon, but yeah, I'm still in. My LD has finally quit the recuperation and is started producing flower buds again. Ripe pods by maybe, oh, say...September?

We've had some obnoxious pea-size hail a couple times in the last two weeks, my girls pull up their bullet proof panties and defy the adverse onslaught.
 
What a neat season!
 
Managed a second harvest.

77 5/8 grams (77.625 for fractionophobics   ;) )

Total 127 3/8 grams (127.375)
 
The plants are shooting out new growth,
finally they are where they should have been
6 weeks ago    :confused:  Will get some pics up soon.
 
Better late than never    ;)

Very nice Paul ;)
Thanks, Scott...  As promised, here are the Aji LD plants. 
The first two are really growing out, but the third is still
scrawny for some reason.  Maybe too much sun?  It really
doesn't get much shade.
