A really nice shaped papa dreadie...

Seems like the heat on my fingers faded quickly... no real issues so far...

Needed to make some room in the freezer so I decided to dry most of the peppers that were still in there from the 2023 season. It's mostly Schneider Farms SB and some yellow 7pot brainstrain for added heat. I also added some of the harvest from this year... papa dreadies, more Schneider Farms...

😲 you wear gloves? 🤔 Very nice and colorful harvest!

You can only select one icon 🤷‍♂️ I recently ordered 2 more packs of their seeds... costs me about 35 euros. And for those high shipping costs you would expect a fast delivery? Nope, my previous order took more than a month to arrive. For me, Etsy is a huge rip off! But at least, the seeds are...

They are indeed from the Etsy shop (what makes it very expensive for me 🙁)...

Thanks! It's already our second adopted labrador 🙂

I just moved the HSH scotch bonnet plant inside yesterday and today it already gave me 2 hands full of ripe bonnets! 😲 Picked one and ate it raw... initially there was hardly any heat but the taste was great (to me), sweet with no bad chinense taste at all! It's at least every bit as good as...

Interesting setup! What type soil sensor are you using exactly?

You have but to ask 😁 Our girl labrador Robin, adopted from a shelter in February at age 6 years 🖤... she's the sweetest dog you can think of... why do people put a dog like this in a shelter? 😓 Oh, and that's me also 😁

😁 I convinced the wife that I needed to take another plant inside... The HSH SB is filled with so many large, beautiful but unripe pods... but it was impossible to take this plant inside without giving it a thorough haircut first. Before haircut:... After the haircut:... Here it is after...

As outside temperatures suddenly became much lower this past week, I noticed that the pods stopped ripening on the plants. I decided to take my most precious plant inside, after giving it a good hair cut first. I also removed all smaller pods of which I was sure they could never mature this...

S€x? 🤔

Much as I love the schneider farms scotch bonnet, the pods of this seasons plant don't have the heat one can expect from a scotch bonnet. The pods are delicious though... zero floral, very citrusy. But the heat is cayenne level at most. Must be the seeds I guess... this is the second plant I...

So... what's the verdict? Well... everything stays about the way it was... the schneider farms remains my favorite scotch bonnet. And the papa dreadie and HSH keep their high places also. The worst of the bunch - to me - was the allen boatman. This pod was very hot compared to the others but...

So, here we are with the long awaited scotch bonnet comparison! I have to admit that I'm having problems finishing it as my mouth gets gradually hotter with each sample I take... :mouthonfire: I picked pods of all my plants today. The plant of which I got the most pods is the papa dreadie. And...

😄 yes don't underestimate them... put a couple of those small ones in a stir fry... it turned out hotter than I expected!

Officially I only had one red bonnet plant (MOA red). The jamaican long isn't supposed to be red as far as I know... there wouldn't be much to compare then... 🤔

A day later and the 2 top ones were already ripe. Tried one of them... it was a good scotch bonnet! :eek: As already mentioned in the papa dreadie thread, I'll soon be able to sample bonnets from all plants as the proper sized pods are no also start to ripen. As is the case every year, my...

I think that, in a week or so, I'll be able to do a comparison taste test between the varieties that I currently have growing as I'm (finally) starting to see ripening pods on all plants. In the mean time I sampled a pod here and there, and I must say that there's not that much variation in...
