  Very cool-looking pods Adam... they look like Gochus to me, or maybe Gochu crosses as the name suggests. How do you use them? Thanks for the good vibe, I'm hoping we're past the hump this growing season and will be able to coast a bit until harvest. This is the first time I've grown a...

Hey Scott... anything new going on down your way? Things are finally beginning to really kick in here now that we've gotten some decent rain.        Cheers!

  Yeah, they're not as big as some varieties but they're so sweet you can eat them raw. :drooling:  

Thanks guys! It's been tough growing conditions here until recently, and re-mineralizing the soil is a major reason I've done as well as I have. It shows up in the flavor of the produce as well. I made a stir-fry last night with some of the sweet onions from the garden, and they'd rival Maui...

Here are some more pics taken in the veggie garden where I have my Annuum varieties planted...   Aleppo peppers are producing well and beginning to ripen. I picked 4 pods today. Also some Jals and Tepin crosses picked green.   Jalapenos are all looking like this   A typical Goat's Weed  ...

  Cheers b3rnd! I haven't sampled any of the Aleppos yet, but I have 4 ripe ones I picked today. I'm thinking I'll be drying them all in my solar dehydrator along with the Szegedi Paprikas and Pequins. I've tried to grow the Rezhas before, but had germination troubles... so far, the seeds I got...

It's still do-able without hydroponics... my chiles are in a raised bed outside, I've only hand-watered as necessary, and the New England climate is cooler than up your way. Sent from my SM-S327VL using Tapatalk

Hi folks, I've finally got some good news to share. Both of my plants plants have started to pod up. Sent from my SM-S327VL using Tapatalk

I'm still a few weeks out from ripe pods, but getting closer... Sent from my SM-S327VL using Tapatalk

Way to go Ben, keep on truckin'! Sent from my SM-S327VL using Tapatalk

Man! There's some mighty fine plants and pods here! Y'all keep up the good work. It's gonna be a while before I post pics of ripe pods, but my plant's finally started to set. The leaf canopy is a bit over 4 feet across, so the plant should be able to support a good crop of pods. Cheers all...

  Cheers Ben! I hope all is well with you?   The Annuums are in full production mode now, as shown by all those dropped skirts on the plastic mulch...   The plants have greened up and really begun to grow too.   The Aleppo peppers are the biggest pods at the moment...   ... and the Pequins...

Nice Scott! Now, what do they taste like? [emoji41] Sent from my SM-S327VL using Tapatalk

Sorry to hear that..... sounds like we're banging our heads against the wall for different reasons... I think the main reason I've done as well as I have so far is the early (for New England) start and weekly feedings my plants got before transplanting outside, plus the soil prep the beds got...

I'll try not to be jelly of you guys with the early pods. [emoji6] Some of those plants are monsters! It's been cool and dry here this spring so I'm way behind by my estimation, but the plant started to blossom today, so I hope to go into production soon now that things are finally starting to...

  Cheers Trent! The biggest problems here were cold overnight temps and lack of rain. The nights are pretty consistently in the upper 50s-low  to mid 60s now, so as long as I keep them watered, they should finally green up and grow. The furthest along are the over-wintered Douglah...   and the...

Heh... I hear ya 'bout the cool weather this spring. With the exception of the growdown plant, the Chinense and Pubiscens varieties only started to really green up and grow in the last week. The same is true of the Jalapenos and Rezha peppers... the Hungarian, Aleppo, Tepin Cross and Pequin...

  All looking stellar Scott! How is your garden producing now? About the same as last year or better? We're a few weeks behind you here... My tomatoes have just started budding up, and the peppers are finally starting to green up and grow now that the temperatures overnight are finally...

The Korean radishes that reseeded themselves in the garlic bed got so big, today I pulled them up and made Spring Radish Water Kimchi (Yeolmu Mulkimchi.) It really comes into its own during the hot summer months served chilled alongside other summer fare, or as part of a cold chicken broth and...
