  Hi Pia,   I'm hopelessly behind on everyone's glogs at this point, but I try to stop by at least a couple a day, so I totally understand!   Thanks for checking out my grow!!!     Thank you, Scott!  Um, yeah, 25th birthday, that's right.    :liar:       Thanks, Sawyer!  I did look at some...

Tasted a couple of peppers this week:   *  The first was the NOT Jamaican Hot Yellow, which was crisp, medium fleshed, had a nice flavor with some sweetness to it, and a lingering heat that I would say falls somewhere between jalapeno and serrano level.     * Also tried the Cochiti, which was...

It was overcast all morning, which has me thinking chili too.  Yours looks tasty, but I'm a beans in the chili kind of gal.     The only tomatoes that have ripened for me so far are Galina's Yellow Cherry, and Gold Currant.  Most of the beefsteak types have good sized tomatoes on them, but are a...

I hear ya', Jamie!  Mine quit putting on height a couple of weeks ago, and now is loading up on pods.       My Mulato Isleno is probably my tallest plant so far this season, and it's only maybe 3 1/2' tall ...

Thanks, Rick!  The birthday was a low-key event this year.  Just dinner with some friends.  That's okay.  The older I get, the more I want them to pass by unnoticed!   Sorry about your Mulato.  I guess we are all prone to having a NOT or two, when we grow so many different varieties and aren't...

I think you are right, and hope that I can keep up with them this year!  Last year, I should have been freezing them as they came in, but I kept hoping to have time to process them, and ended up wasted way too many pods at the end of the season.  Maybe having the harvests start earlier, I'll be...

Thanks!  I've got more!   I'll start this set with a shot of the entire community garden plot.  Well, as much as you can see anyway.  The tomatoes block out the tomatillos from this angle.  The sad little plants on the end of the 3rd row from the right are the Peach Habaneros.  No close ups of...

I thought the Jaloro was hotter than a typical jalapeno when I tried it last year, so I wonder if that is true for most yellow jalapenos?

Hi Andy!  The shape to me on the more recent pods looks fairly close to the Fatalii, it's just they are ripening red.  Here is a shot taken this evening.  Sorry it's not the best pic, but I was getting eaten alive by mosquitoes while I was there.     I did get a few decent pics while I was...

Nice harvest!!!  Judging by how loaded with pods your plants are, it looks like you've got plenty more harvests ahead of you!   On the Condor's Beak, I thought the final color when ripe is red.  Mine are purple now, but I'm not harvesting them yet.   A little surprised your Rain Forest didn't...

  I think you win the prize for the biggest comeback!!!   That thing look like a goner just a few weeks back, and now do I see a pod on there?  Nice job!

Got out to the community garden this afternoon, after missing a couple of days, and was amazed at the amount of growth over there.  The zucchini plants are going crazy, the tomatoes are sprawling everywhere, and the peppers are growing and loading up on pods.  Even harvested a few ripe ones...

The ferment looks awesome!!!  Maybe one of these days I'll give it a try ...   Love the look of that Charapita!  Is it very chinense-y tasting?  I'd almost grow it just for the ornamental value.  

I'll be back tomorrow to talk about peppers (I know I've been straying off topic a bit lately), but just wanted to show you guys what my 14 year old son made me tonight.       ... and he didn't even give away my age with the candles!    :party:    

Don't have a recent pic, but my plant seems to have stalled out around 2 1/2', so I guess I'm in last place now.   :mope:   On the bright side, it is starting to load up on pods.   

Was at least a week behind on your glog, so let's see if I remember all of the things I wanted to comment on ...   Yep, your Cheiro (Recife) pic looks identical to mine last year.  Can't wait to hear your review of them.   Your Peruvian Purples are ahead of mine, as mine is just now setting...

Thanks guys!  Feels good to have rounded the corner on this year's grow.  Now it's time to start focusing on plans for the harvest, 'cause today was the first one!   Okay, I know it is tiny, but there's more on the way!!!     Cochiti, Costeno Amarillo, and Fresno   Just a quick note on that...

Haha!  Don't think he'd go for that, Rick!  This morning when I went downstairs to make coffee, one of the frogs was making a break for it.  He was halfway down the hall.  Not sure how he got out of the tank, but I managed to catch him and get him back in there.   Speaking of catching things, my...

Hi Rick!  I don't remember them having a whole lot of heat, but then, since I wasn't crazy about the flavor, I didn't eat many of them raw/fresh.  They were aromatic, and fairly juicy if I remember correctly.  Unfortunately, too much time has passed for me to be able to accurately describe the...

No worries, Andy!  I haven't been able to keep up with the glogs lately either.  Now it's looking like I may have to find a full time job instead of the part time one I've been doing.  I know I shouldn't whine, most of you guys have full time jobs, but as a mom, that would be kind of like having...
