    Deadline for listing this old horse tac shed is a week from today. We finally got the kitchen floor finished last Friday There's a war going on with the listing price, the realtor wants a quick sale and we want what this old barn will sell for. Obviously we will win, it's a lot easier to drop...

    I still have Turbo Pubes that refuse to go that amber step. They're almost black, trying so hard. The shinyness is the damned honeydew from an aphid insurrection, but we're at the tail end, so let 'em have a last snack... When I get all my 5 gallon bags emptied I'm going to fold them into one...

    drying-smoking Guatemalan Insanity Pepper (GIP) Smoked Serrano

    GIP, I hope I did well by you. It did (just barely) all fit in a one gallon Ziploc. I'm not sure if I'll get to a grind stage before the move, but I hope to. We're really busy. 29 and a half ounces. I hope there'll be enough to go around. I also hope there will be more GIP grows in Andrew's...

    Man, I was promised a new, HEATED greenhouse in exchange for agreeing to the move in the first place...Whether I get one or not...:think::think::think: I imagine that a tote might make for a pretty decent Kratke setup, though...

    Heh heh, thought we'd have another yard sale... We agreed that we take little to nothing that will need stored. That, of course, is contingent on finding the final resting place... :party:

    She's turned Joan Crawford on me--"NO CARDBOARD BOXES!!!" We're putting everything in totes, 15 gallon, 18 gallon, 27 gallon, 30 gallon, 35 gallon, 45 GALLON!! The larger ones do have wheels, but it's starting to look like a warehouse around here, and I haven't started on my tools or gardening...

    The last harvest is in! And a nice haul, too. I separated the green ones for other considerations, but wound up smoking all of it. Clean & sort operations. I am a smooth running machine The halving ceremony. Having fun yet? While I used the the perfed tray, there were just too many peppers...

    Like I said, a handfull. Not to worry, there are enough ripening in the grow room/studio to make a good batch. The Serrano patch seems to love a good drought. Four plants, this is the fourth and final harvest, and the largest. I kept the green ones separate for sauce/salsa but I just don't...

    Really good info, SB, I appreciate it!! A lot of the peripheral armory sundries are in a locked closet, but the toys are in a hefty safe that won't be going anywhere till we move. The contents will be babysat, along with a collection of musical instruments, by a long-time trusted friend. But...

    Egad. No, really... We haven't moved in 12 years. Unbelievable the stuff that accumulates in that amount of time. We sold just about every piece of furniture but the Sleep Number bed and a pub table, all my big-ticket power tools are gone, yet we're overwhelmed with stuff. There's a three yard...

    So a 3rd pick has just concluded, another full 5-quart pail full. All through this grow I've been getting mutants, like And They eventually, given a few days, become full red. there aren't soft spots or mold inside, just a funky ripening phase... Thought y'all might enjoy the spectrum...

    Good news, that last batch graduated us to a gallon ziploc. There will definitely be a third batch, a possible fourth if current weather holds. We still haven't had a frost, and so far none is forecast. It's a great season for Serranos, I wonder if GIP is directing the patterns for me...

    drying-smoking Guatemalan Insanity Pepper (GIP) Smoked Serrano

    An hour and 15 minutes in the smoker. There were around 4 layers of peppers, the bottom layer actually got partially dried out. Three overloaded trays for the dehydrator, the other two are Chimayo/Nambe Pueblo, which are still pumping them out!! The smokiness is other-worldly... Yes, that is...

    I waited to get more peppers on the smoke plate, I'm out of coal, so trying to do it at one time. I'm sorry for the fuzzy pic, will work to do better... I put them on for 45 mins, if they look like they need more I'll keep 'em in for a bit longer. There's a lot of green Serrano pods still out...

    A second pull of ripe Serranos. Let's pray there's time for a third. Some of these are in various stages of ripening, I'll paper bag them for a couple days before smoking again... There's a lot of green Serranos still out there, I'll be making a lime sauce with them if nothing else...Anyone...
