I wish these pods were bigger so I could stuff them, but they do have good flavor and are productive

Got pods?

I guess they are jalapeños just really short ones I'm still shocked by how hot they are. Maybe I'm just sensitive to them for some reason, but I'd rather bite a habanero than one of these

Some pods for Independence Day This is from the Primo X Purple Ghost plant. The first pod from this plant was round and knobby, but all the later pods are pointy like this one with scorpion tails. Conjoined twin white fataliis? Lots of these unknown peppers ripening at once

Thanks for the recipe! I was probably just going to leave them for the birds. The plants have been loving the weather lately

I need to stop picking them right as they ripen! The other Reaper X Douglah plant has ripened to a rich chocolate brown. I'm curious which color this one will be.

I don't know why I didn't include these other pictures: My purple ghost plant is just covered in fruit. Last year nothing except Lemon Drop produced this much. The pods were initially bright purple, like little amethysts, but now they're getting a creamy color Probably my prettiest plant is...

I'm going to try copying your scaffolding for one of my plants that has decided to try to become a ground creeper

State of the garden, 1 July 2019 I realized I haven't posted an overview of the entire garden, so here we go. The vast majority of my plants are along the side of the driveway. This is the part of my yard that gets the most reliable sunlight. My neighborhood is mature hardwood forest (except...

Time for some ripe pod pics! First up is this unknown pepper from seeds I saved last year. It's either a ghost or a ghost crossed with something. Just unbelievably hot. I ate a tiny piece and got hiccups and chest pain. My coworkers fared much the same. The four of us only made it through a...

Thanks Paul. I think it might be a lacewing larvae based on googling.

I don't think so. This guy is big, like the size of a fingertip. Also the wooly part appears to be dead critters stuck to the back of something. It isn't settling to eat the plant, it's running around like a ladybug nymph. I'm going to try to catch one to get a better look.

Is there an insect that looks like a pile of dead planthoppers? I have a few of these on my plants. They're gross looking, but they move like predators so I'm not sure I should kill them

Well, we've been eating some hot peppers in the office this week. A couple of days ago it was this pod The plant was labeled "Reaper X Clavo", but I am now 100% sure that it's just a orange hab plant. This tiny pod ripened first, so I brought it in to the office. We ended up cutting it into...

Hey guys, I'm a bit surprised by this plant I grew from seeds that were sold to me as jalapeno. The plant is clearly an annuum, but the pods don't seem to get any larger than this. Also they're really surprisingly hot. I was blown away by the heat, and so were several of my coworkers. I...

We had alternating rainstorms and thunderstorms the last few days, and a lot of my plants fell over. I know that staking pepper plants is controversial, but most of my plants are staked now. Temperatures have been down to the mid 80s, which is nice after those couple of weeks of 90+ I think my...

When you're done with your deck, can you come over here and help me with mine?

It's probably a bit early for this, but I'm starting to think that my unlabeled seeds from last year might be an unintentional cross.   Here's a picture of my ghosts from last year:     And here's what the saved seeds plant is growing         Last year the ghosts were wrinkly overall, but the...

As a brown-eyed guy with blue-eyed kids, I know all about recessive coloration genes popping up in later generations ;-) Lemon drop X Reaper? That's going to be interesting!
