Fantastic !

about middle Hab level heat, nice fresh taste, not cloying or overly floral, fairly thick walled, excellent on fish tacos !

Very nice!

I can't get over how well things turned out for you this season. So many varieties too!

You killed it this year bud!

Hi GIP

Are you going to freeze the vacuum sealed bags? What is the benefit of this method? Many thanks

Walchit · Oct 1, 2017

Loving all the peach and yellow!

yes, I vacuum seal and freeze them until i have enough of that variety to make a batch of sauce
I usually do most of my saucemaking in the wintertime.

freezing then thawing, changes the texture, but if they are going to be turned into sauce that doesn't matter much.

Thanks for the info. I keep learning new stuff here.

Wow! Great haul, GIP, and awesome pics! :party:

Guatemalan Insanity Pepper · Oct 4, 2017

well folks the season is about over up here :mope:

picking a haul about this size every other day now :party:

selected 42 of my plants for overwintering :rofl:

(i know only 42 !?! :crazy:

)

moved to the driveway where they will get a couple more hours of sun this time of year
this is where they will be staged as i prep them for coming indoors over the next week

gotta finish harvesting these plants, trim em wayy back, give em a good Azamax wash, order ladybugs, etc.

now for the really ridiculous part :crazy:

Tuck my babies into bed each night and uncover them in the morning until i got them moved indoors :lol:

okay, i know it looks ridiculous, but...
i have managed to keep plants outdoors until the the 17th of October with this method before. Up here in zone 4a :shocked:

I hope to have everybody moved indoors under HPS lights by the end of the week, but now i can allow them to keep getting that natural light during the day for as long as possible

more harvest pics soon :cool:

thanks for stopping by to ~~look~~ laugh at my garden tucked into bed under sheets :rofl:
