The last Reaper of the year...womp, womp. Interesting colouration though.

It happens. One of the plants I bought this year was supposed to be a ghost. It was from the same nursery as all of the other peppers I bought and they all performed well. This particular “ghost” plant gave smooth walled smaller peppers with absolutely zero heat 🤷‍♂️. Here’s one of the “ghost”...

I think H.R. Giger had a hand in this one 😱.

That’s my friend Burggy waving for more hot sauce 🤠.

This stuff is dirt cheap (I think I got it at Walmart) but it was one of the ways I built my tolerance up this year while the growing season was in progress.

The Painflower

Kinda looks like a fetus either side of a scarab beetle.

Real pepper, not pumpkin.

Bonny says “COMING FOR YOU CHARLIE BROWN” 👹.

My reapers are amassing into one giant reaper. I’m going to have to sleep with the lights on 😱.

The story about mustard gas in W The story of mustard gas from WW1 is an interesting one. The wife of the German scientist (iirc she was a scientist herself) who created it was so disgusted with him that she left him.

I’ve never had a Fresno so cannot comment on their heat level. I have been making scotch bonnet powder lately and find that the ones from Jamaica, which are harder to find locally, are significantly hotter than the common Dominican Republic ones fwiw. The DR ones seem pretty mild and I’ll need 2...

🎃 😝.

Yeah, that’s something I’d steer way clear of as a chemical burn would be highly likely.

I’ve been making a lot of powders the past few weeks and would recommend you doing the grinding outdoors and have at least a face shield on. I accidentally got a little bit of backdraft and got ghost powder in both eyes at the same time. To call it painful is the understatement of the year...

A local “foodie” grocery chain where I live called “Fortino’s” has small bags of dried peppers from the usual mild suspects all the way up to ghost, scorpion and reapers in the $7 and under price range.

There’s a natural plant out there (of course I’ve forgotten the name) that blows way past the 16 million Scoville’s of our capsaicin. It weighs in at an incredible 16 billion 😱 Scoville’s and from what I’ve read is considered extremely toxic and not something you want any part of.

On a related matter, the thought of reapers going through gloves concerned me recently when I cut up a bunch into fine pieces for making powder. I stumbled onto the idea of putting some small patches of duct tape on the finger areas of the disposable gloves. Seemed to work like a charm. I only...

If they’re in pots and you can bring them indoors overnight I would recommend that.

I sorta see a left facing skull on the left side of this ghost.
