This post reminded me of how good a slice of grilled pineapple is on a burger. thx jjj

Low 50s this AM. That’ll change pepper chemistry. Dehydrated my better Reaper minus their seed heads. But I think I’ll have enough Reaper powder to do a few years with pods still hanging. Experimenting with soaking a ghost in coconut oil So far I am getting a better balance of flavor to heat. j

Thanks, Paul. It tdoes seem they have better form as the season progesses. We should have 5-7 weeks before frost gets them. Some peppers started setting pods after the high heat, but Dreadie is more reluctant.

@Sawyer has facilitated my newest favorite pepper: The Papa Dreadie Scotch Bonnet {The one in the middle has been about my best 4-way shape and the right one is a pretty good 5. The heat is below hab, which fit my palate better and a strong citrus. Just like I like my IPAs} :) Sawyer sent...

Great looking grow, plants and pods. Enjoy the fruits of your labor. j

Looking great! I've been been researching this Yaki BF, and your pods have the most attractive phenotype in my book.

If you got'em, smoke'em. About 40 min in the smoker. And by smoker, I mean Weber grill with a little hardwood charcoal fire with some hickory sticks one side, and peppers on the other. Have to watch it pretty close. I kept the bottom damper closed and used the lid vents almost closed. Every...

Gor GGGorGGGeous with capital Gs! Does it turn red when ripe? Flavor? jjj

First big pepper harvest is today. I have to go to a wedding this weekend. :( But it's in Asheville and we can go to Salsa's to eat. :metal: Years ago Hector the proprietor turned me on to the concept of using carrots as a hot sauce base. And my version, the Electric Carrot Habanero, was born...

Cholulah, is my old standby wait a minute....wrong picture this one...

I have a few pix. First let's get the disappointments out of the way. Just not a fan of the Orange Hab. First real hot pepper I ever bought at the grocery store. I purchased 6 plants labeled Red Habaneros, but red they never will be. All but one are about this level of production. What do I...

SB, we may be peas outta the same pod. I do a blueberry/banana, hemp heart, almond milk, kale powder breakfast smoothie and spicy chicken burritos for supper. Beetroot I'll give a try. Good lookin cooks, sir. jjj

Yeah, flavor is way up there for me. I grew a lot of variety years back, but current situ has me contained some. Which is a good thing :) I'm getting some seeds sorted out for next year, have gotten seed from a UFO that has the varigated green/white foliage like a Fish pepper, but a mist of...

Hello, Cappers. It's been a year a and a most of a pepper season since we moved to our new garden site. So I've been somewhat busy re-building. Pepper seeds don't last forever, but I have 138 pepper seed lots going back 8 years maybe. So. what to do to get a jumpstart? A few did sprout last...

As a fully belated summary....I got a few Habs, smoked 'em, and made a nice powder .....But In the fall I thought I'd pull some old 2015 seeds to see what might come up. And a few did, so I thought I might try to over winter a few I'll try to be more punctual, and give a summary of 2021...

DR, I often soak, but did not on these. My post stimulated something though, they started popping that same day. I got a Red Bhut and a 7 Pot Barrackpore among 9 of the 17 s far. No manzano yet.   No frost on our 10 day yet. j 

Spotted frost today, 9/22/20. My garden missed it by being a 25' of elevation higher up the hill.   Supposed to get 13yds of mushroom composted delivered today Daughter's garden (60'x70') is now fully fenced except a gate and an opening for her she-shed.   I've taken 17 varieties from my 5+ year...

  Sadly, this is true. Even if the seeds are directly from the Hatch region, grown anywhere else they are just sparkling peppers. j

Looking good. I also keep my dehydrator on 95. It's bound to keep the capsicum and the color better.   Stay safe and alert.  j
