  I've made quit a few sauces and really enjoy both the end result and the process.  You can hone a sauce recipe to your individual tastes and end up with a stable of sauces to choose from depending on the food at hand or your mood.   If you enjoy eating it you are bound to enjoy making it...

  Moot pic   A taste test will settle that quicker than you can say "that"!

P Dreadie    This is the first to ripen and a pretty good pepper:           Rocoto Marlene    This is the first C. pubescence to ripen.  What a delicious pepper!   There is another pod on the plant that is ripe now as well and will be enjoyed soon.   The plant has more pods but they, so far...

/\ +1   Narrow minded as I am, I have no interest in growing choc. superhots.  I just do not enjoy the taste and, yes, for me they are very bitter.  I tend to find that the hotter the variety the more likely it will be bitter as well.  Lesser heat hot peppers are bitter, if at all, just in the...

White Lightning Bolt F3      Aji Arnaucho - cool shaped peppers.  This pic is a few days ago.  A couple are turning orange now

Aji Lemon Drops doing their thing   Very pleased to see the Rocoto Marlene turning. 

/\  I love it! :)

What do you haul and where do your boats go? A late friend of mine was a captain on ore boats on the great lakes

You're doing some cool work, FB.    Nice crosses that look like peppers one could actually eat!  There is such an obsession with superhots that,IMO, are often too hot for most of us to enjoy unless we make use of them in sauces etc.

These are Aji Rosita Red.  They are one of the peppers that came up from Venezuela via Lindberg. They are a prolific, heatless(or very low heat) pepper with a wonderful vegetable(not sweet) taste.   I love the way some pepper varieties ripen from top to bottom with a multitude of colors all at...

  Here is the first WLB to ripen pictured beside a Fresno and White Fatalii.  Funky shapes developing like last year.  The heat and taste was like the ones I grew last season, color a little darker (although this pic shows darker than these peppers really were).   I really like those F1s.  I...

Aji Jobito...or maybe not.         If you know this pepper, you know it is yellow.  And heatless.   This is neither.  Damn.  The real ones are delicious.  I was looking forward to them again. I grew Aji Jobito from Lindberg's seed last year and had it right.  Guess I will need to go back to...

...and BTW, the Aji Oro is setting the most fruit among my pube search.  The largest pods are olive sized and the plant is loaded with blossoms and many small pods   Not the earliest nor the largest at present but promising.   I now just need to see which, if any, end up ripening in my growing...

We just missed you in Myrtle.  We were there 16-20.  We always fly - long car ride aren't kind to me anymore.  But then, plane seats aren't so pleasant either.   The pineapple plants are cool.

Welcome to your new addiction.

  So am I.   I never thought to wonder what lacewing eggs looked like. Now I know even though I never thought to wonder what lacewing eggs looked like. That's a good thing to know. I've seen a few lacewings in the garden before, but, unfortunately, never the eggs.   I have seen a few ladybug...

He set me up with sauce and the same patch a while back.  Crack those bottles open, Dale - Good Stuff!     (Reggie - you have a great eye for marketing.  That match is fantastic!)

This is Tepin x Lemon Drop ...and her first progeny much larger than last year but same taste and heat level       Pimenta de Neyda x Bhut Jolokia       And I am pleased to see some of my C. pubes are setting fruit.  Most are small, so I wonder if they will mature, Aji Oro       and...

I start from seed in Jan. or Feb. - indoors, under lights.  I get the plants in the ground around the middle of May.  I am in northeast Ohio.  They languish for a couple weeks until the nights are consistently warm enough to allow good growth.  Then the magic happens!   What you see in my...

Thanks all for you comments.     I'll post pics below. I have never had a Tepin pepper, but perhaps the thick flesh comes from it.     Here are pics of a flower on my Lemon Drop plant:     And here is a flower from the Tepin x Lemon Drop plant:   The quality of the crop of just the flower...
