Tomorrow is 90 days from plant-out, but it supposed to rain all day. So, I thought I would get some pics this afternoon.

Chocolate Reaper/Scorpion at nearly 5 feet:

Wide shot of the raised bed. Privacy fence is 6 feet, 5 foot 4 inches above raised bed:

Facing East:

Facing West:

Ecuadoran Hot Lemon Cayenne:

Looking closely, one can see that every branch is covered with flowers and pods. I would not be surprised to harvest 3,000 pods before the end of the season.

Probably need to do first major harvest of raised bed this weekend, stay tuned.

Thanks for looking.

Got home after work to find one Bhutlah plant nearly laying over. Propped it up with a stake and I see why it was being pulled over. I really need to start picking...

Check out this gnarly pod:

I usually dehydrate, never have tried freezing.

Been thinking about trying a ferment, pickling some, and making purees.

Unknown purple. 53 pods.

This plant makes the most consistent size and shape pods.

That harvest is insane! I think i like the photos of pods on the plants even more. Impressive stuff. Keep doing what you're doing.

jedisushi06 · Aug 19, 2018

Where did you get seeds for the mrm x 7 pot brown?

alkhall · Aug 20, 2018

I got seeds for the MRM 7 Brown Peachy from Refining Fire Chiles (Jim Duffy).

The list is on the first page of this glog, for future reference.

Only the beginning...

I am keeping count of pod harvest from the raised bed. I will post final count, probably late October.

Adam,

Thanks. I have been fortunate with the weather; just the right amount of rain, temps have been good, and I have been quite lucky that the bugs have not been a problem.

I have not tried a Cinder yet, but I will. And, thank you for developing the Cinder, I will be growing it next year as well.

By the way, the JRGS is from your seed also.

No wonder it looks crossed with something else

The pods look pretty much like pics I have seen on other vendors' sites.

Do you have a good pic of what they should look like?
