Thanks Joe!! I'll have to take a few photos too :)

Awesome!! Pods are looking great!

The Supers are setting pods pretty nicely now....a few are starting to show color! I'll do a video tomorrow. With all the plants I planted, I should have way more than enough heat for the next year, or two. But regardless, I'll be planting a ton of plants next year again....just less varieties...

WOOHOO!!!!! First ripe superhot :) a small "Giant Ghost Pepper" (several plants and none of the pods seem all that giant to me) I ate it. For Dessert. After a nice dinner of Carne Asada Tacos. It was hot ;) but tasty. The Magical Mystery Pepper Tour :) I posted a video, but it seems...

Hi Joe, I planted a bunch of mystery surprise seeds from you...I have a row of them in one of the gardens. Here they are (Hoping you will identify them for me :) ) The Magical Mystery Pepper Tour http://youtu.be/kRcMMFi4MWQ

WOOHOO!!!! Thank you soooo much. I am definately planning on overwintering as many plants as possible. Hopefully get a jumpstart in the spring, and maybe some winter pods too. I had pods on overwinters in january, but when it got down too 7° the heat source in my flimsy temporary overwinter...

What is weird is that I had 1 plant with the brown "decaying" spots on the stems....I kept it far away from everything else. Eventually I disposed of that plant. None of my other plants got whatever it was that was afflicting that particular one. This stem issue looks way different...almost...

Thanks for the rooting info! Yep...tons of ladybugs... I saw the fattest ladybug I have ever seen! It must have been 2.5 times as big as a normal one..lol Yeah, all 2 of the pods on that plant are that really dark green...yep...all 2 of them...hahaha Funny thing is I sowed reaper seeds last...

Well....today while watering, I discovered 2 lonely pods on one of the "Desert Reaper" plants...lol They might be growing true to form...maybe.... sorta....kinda... Funny thing is my supers are far larger plants than my Habs! And look to be producing/setting better...but only time will tell...

Wow, looking awesome out your way!!!

As Darth Vader once said.... "Impressive.... Most Impressive" :)

What is pretty cool is with the sheer # of varieties I planted, I am finding out which ones seem to be more productive and able to handle the hot weather better. For example... Yatsafusa peppers are by far my most productive asian pepper, and they dry super nicely. Those are perfect for me for...

Wow, that's pretty cool! My one rooting success was when I was planting out the overwintered poblanos, I dropped a plant and broke off a few branches.... So I shoved the broken off branches into the soil and lo and behold they rooted :)

Yeah, I suck at diagnosing plant diseases...lol I also suck at rooting cuttings.... I might try rootone...but it has to wait untill I have extra $$ to buy it. Like you said...maybe Annie or one of the other experts will see that photo :) But I do have tons of other varieties of healthy pepper...

Oddly enough they are well shaded...the porch has shadecloth on the roof....it has to be a virus or bacteria or fungus etc... I just don't know what, or how to treat them....
