Thanks... Tons of pods hanging on the plants, but no ripe ones yet.

Here's a shot of my Zapotec bed. https://imgur.com/a/cdvQH0e

Ps and actually, yeah, I do "snack" on these things. But it's not the typical snacking experience, what with the crying, bellowing, stomping around, and concern over cardiac arrest.

I hear you on the tolerance thing, although I like I start over every season, not exactly at the beginning, but every November, I'm an iron warrior, forged in fire. But come the following June, when I'm getting my first fresh SuperHot Pods of the season, I'm back to being a lowly squire. I...

So, I've had a recurring issue with earwigs; they like to bore a hole in my pods and camp out in there for awhile. It's gross, and bc they seem to like the same kinds of peppers as I do, it's really frustrating. I usually just pluck and toss the pods as soon as I find the hole in'm. My...

Lmk if you need seeds. But ask as soon as possible, bc I am terrible at sending seeds in a timely fashion. . . If you ask me now, you'll have a good chance of getting them right around when it's time to start seeds lol

That makes sense. It might be fair to file that reason under "magic," as well. ☺️

Hell, yes. Zapotecs are probably gonna be my only Jalapeños from now on. Love how the plants grow, and the flavor... And the pods just look killer.

(continued) So this random bar patron, he's a thoroughly mensch-y kinda dude, with the t shirt that signifies his association with the local firehouse and he's the type of dude who accepts SuperHot chiles from strangers in pubs, which is cool. And I'm not trying to say that my bike club isn't...

Well, I have since sampled several pods, both in terms of regular bouts of just eating raw pods straight up, alone or with friends, and in terms cooking with them. . . But I've failed to keep up with this thread, which sucks but just looking at the millions of unripe pods in my beds and thinking...

Yeah, I don't pick them until I'm ready to eat/use them, and I try to eat/use then ASAFP. If you pick them before they ripen, they will likely take longer to become fully ripe, of they even have time to do so. As soon as a pepper is picked, it begins to decompose. I really should take data on...

My Ghosts are at least as big as the other Chinense I started at the same time, but only one has any pods yet. Out of all the 34 SuperHots I am growing this year, only the Douglahs and these JPGS x Primo crosses are behind the Red Bhuts. So, I wouldn't worry too much, but like Lespaulde said...

Even as a rookie, i-- like almost everyone else-- know that nobody's gonna hurt their plants with a lil squirt-squirt-squirt of Epsom spray. I have no objection to anyone questioning conventional techniques. In fact, I think it's a healthy situation, when seasoned hobbyists question the ideas...

I just want to say that Yellow Fataliis have always been difficult for me to germinate but once I get them to sprout, they tend to grow like weeds and produce like made for me. This year, I couldn't get then to germinate at all. I gotta try seeds from another source for next year, or maybe for...

I plant mostly in beds, and I just make tables on GoogleDocs that show me what's what, like a map. The plants I got in containers, I got them figured out the same way, but I'd have to be careful if I rearranged them, I'd need to update the charts... Although, by this point in the season, I know...

Sure, but that's to be expected at that point, right? In other news, I got a "Yellow" 7Pot Barrackpore ripening up, red as the Devil's dick. ️

Yeah I froze a bunch too. They're not bad at all, but they're nowhere near as good as fresh so I'm just not motivated to use them for cooking, and they're no fun for just snacking. I find myself mostly turning to powder for chile pepper needs during the off-season...

She will take a screenshot of this thread and use it as evidence at the divorce hearing lol

Looks good.

I think it'll be ok. I know I'm a worry-wart, and I've given up on trying to not worry. However, I've come a long way as far as resisting an urge to panic. And it's done a lot of good for me, as well as for my plants. So, nowadays, when something in my garden starts to worry me, I definitely...
