Wow, Rick! Homemade ginger ice cream? I am not a cookie monster, but it makes me curious :-) Would you share the recipe with us? Balázs

First snow...ehh... If we can believe the weather forecast, we are going to have some next week, too. I have the feeling that winter is coming :-)

We are going to miss you, Jeff. I wish you good luck for the future. Your knowledge, passion, and the beautiful pics you have posted helped us all to become better growers, and also addicted to peppers.

Absolutely b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l! :-) My season suddenly ended with a frost of -6 Celsius a month ago, therefore it is so good to see these amazing late season pulls you have. Keep us posted, pls! :-)

Hi Rick, Yeah, it was a good season, though the moving was in the middle of the harvest period, so I was not able to deal with them so much. I have frozen some pods, and I am planning to make sauces, since it seems my colleagues simply love them. Owervintering is not a big deal, you just need to...

Hi Rick,   I am sad to see that your season is over, too. Well, it is rather in dormant mode, with all of those OW plants! It will give you a real head start next spring, I cannot wait to see it. Second year of Chinenses is the real mass production mode.   Balázs

Hi Jeff,   Amazing pictures about the dried peppers. How do you preserve their colours? I always have issues with the yellow ones, since they bacame rather brownish, than yellow. Is it something related to the temperature? If so, could you share the secret? :rolleyes:   Balázs

Thanks. Yeah...I tried the kettle grill twice, we were eating grilled staff for 4 days in a row...enough is enough.  :P  My soon-to-be wife likes moderate hot staff, she is crazy about Almapaprika, but Habanero is too strong for her.   Thank you. To be honest, I am happy, even though we are...

Happy birthday!  :dance: Amazing pictures, Scott! Beautiful plants, it is good to see those healthy green plants, especially because the frost has killed all of mine. Keep posting those pictures, my friend.   Balázs

  :P 34 years...eh...I know I have a lot to learn...with my 4 years. :P Thanks for sharing the strategy.     Thank you, Rick! Hello Everyone,It's been a month I was not dealing with my glog...well...and checking the other chilehead's glogs once a week, only. The house project took all of my...

Welcome back, Doc! I moved into my own house a month ago, and I'd say we are 80% unpacked. No painting, furniture yet, so we are actually dressing from boxes.  Good luck with your next season. Less plants is not necessarily bad, you might have more time per each plant to pamper them-->healthier...

Hi Rick,   I did not have the chance to check your glog in the last month or so...the house project took more time I expected (and money of course). Tomorrow I am going to start your glog from the beginning (5 hours on train), but I guess it won't be enough to go through it. I'm glad to see you...

Thank you! :-) It is not too big, but at least small :-) Still negotiating with fiancee the portion I can get... I am planning to amend it with some rich compost. I have found places where they sell 1 m3 for like 10-20 dollars, which is not too much.

I see. It is not rocket science, you just need to puree them, and boil out the excess water. It is rather time consuming. My Mom hates the canning days, I personally love them...preparing something which is valuable...you hardly get that feeling in the accounting... :-) I thought to post only...

Good shot, Scott! :-)

Thanks, Scott. You can see many examples, but my family prefers to have dense puree instead having a tomato drink :-) The bottles we are using for canning are all used, the small ones were originally holding 3 dl mineral water. (it is good to have a friend at a pub) The rest was for some fruit...

  Hi Rick, Yes, indeed, it is a lot...but it is still just a small part of the whole :-) We are using tomato in many recipes, we even make tomato soup from it. Canning spaghetti sauce is a great idea, I might try it out in the future. That Kapia yield is great, and Ajvar is really good with...

Hi Rick, Amazing sauces, I'm sure they taste wonderful! I'm moving into my new house at the weekend, and just ordered some garden equipment, including a Weber Compact Kettle, so I won't have any other option, but grill and smoke.:-) If I recall it right, you were using cherry wood chips for...

It is a good idea. Last year I was reading about it, but I was rather checking the price of the equipment, than searching a company which does the testing. A good tester is more than 1000 USD, which is quite expensive. You gave me a good idea, my friend, thanks for that. It would definately...

  Thanks again, Scott! It is a nice compliment from a master grower!   Hi Ric, Yes, they are hairy. So I have 3 serrano plant! :-) Unfortunately my parents did not really put any labelling down, so it is now a guessing game :-) Sad thing is that it seems the Kapija peppers will not really...
