It's about time Mr. Carolina Reaper! This plant is the hail damaged one and has rebounded well with a lot of buds and some blooms. This is the first pod emerging from the 3 reaper plants. Read in another thread that growers were having issues with reaper slow podding out, so probably bring this...

Went to the local seafood market yesterday with just lobster and shrimp on the mind. I guess recently they started to sell pickles, so I got 3 containers, 1 to stay regular, 1 added a ghost pepper, and 1 added a reaper pepper. Tasted the pickle brine this morning and both have a nice heat to...

Have some sour mexican gherkins coming on, can't wait to try them.  

Have some seeds from last year, the date is when I packaged the seeds after drying. These seeds are from Bonnie plants, heavy producers, and plants grew about 3-4ft in a 4gal container. I can spare 15-20 seeds as I'll be growing tabasco plants next year.  

Have some more pods coming on these two plants and hopefully the reapers will start producing soon has they have some blooms. This heatwave has took a toll on some the plants, the foliage getting sun burnt. Today there was a nice rain that came through, plus cooler weather conditions. Last two...

The reaper chupetinho plant is busting out the pods.  

Last season I had two ghost pepper plants from Bonnie/Home Depot in the same 4gal pot, produced like crazy with some fish emulsion fertilizer. Just let the plants do their thing until fall when you bring them in.

Can't wait to try some of this on some wings!!  

Dodged another severe storm this past Wed, I live near the "H" in Shelbyville. The local news mentioned high winds 60-70mph,and large hail. Lucky the purple readings was just heavy downpours and not hail. Staked down all the plants on Monday so all is good. Have some blooms coming on the death...

Epsom salt is also a deterrent for raccoons plus it's good food for the plants.

I recently had issues with the containers tipped over during the night. No plants were injured just the soil was dug into. Deployed a game cam and caught a raccoon messing around the containers. Guessing it was digging for grubs, their fav snack. Sprinkled some cayenne pepper on the top soil and...

Fried up some pork rinds yesterday for my buddy that let me use his traps. His flavor picks are the cheesy jalapeno and savory bacon. Fried up some plain, grilled cheeseburger, and garden salsa just to munch on.      

Apparently have a Houdini on my hands, so for to nights trick gonna zip tie the back door instead of having clips. The back door only had approx 2" play and didn't think anything about it...that's all it took for this guy to escape.  

Just hanging around waiting for a little road trip to a new home. Guess this guy was hungry also ate the small paper plate I put the cat food and peanut butter mixture on.The other trap was tripped and on its side with the bait gone with nothing caught, so might be dealing with a experienced...

Update on the hail damaged plants: the death spiral is really starting to take off, reapers are going good except #2 that one is still struggling a little. The only thing done to them is a good watering and sunlight, no fertilizers as of yet. The sour gherkins are starting to attach themselves...

CD, all those plants look amazing!! Keep up the awesome work. LOL @ the slingshot!!

Had a visitor last night, well two the cam also caught a mouse. The cayenne powder seemed to work, not one plant was touched.So I reached out to a friend that is an avid hunter and asked to borrow a couple of live traps. He said sure no problem just as long as I make him some fresh  cheesy...

Bring it Mother Nature, THP and myself will conquer what your trying to throw at us!! FYI: outside temp 90 feels like 97...shingles on the roof 130...think I'm just going...

Mother Nature strikes again but not in a form of a hail storm this time. A family of raccoons uprooted a reaper(of course the pepper I'm trying to concentrate on this year) , lemon scorpion plant and dug into the containers of a death spiral, apocalypse scorpion, and one of the hail damaged...

CaneDog, thanks. I'm going to transplant the GJ soon and keep eyes on the foliage to see if anything changes. From what I gathered from yourself and Mr.Joe seems some jalapeno plants are like that.   One a side story from today's events, I had a DOT physical this morning to continue driving food...
