I am SO lucky I have anything still growing... . .. ... .... .....   ok - nevermind... I'm getting THIS MESSAGE when I try to upload files: You can upload...

       

         

SO - I went to Hatch for the Chile Festival.   It is a nice town and REALLY gears up in peppers during the Labor day weekend - I am very certain the restaurants all pull out their "Chile Festival" menus that are the same menu with higher prices shown. Nothing wrong with that in my opinion !  ...

Took these shots yesterday after dumping 4 inches of rain out of my rain gauge ~ jeez   Habanero   Reaper !

Bad luck indoors... Lol. I feel like I set the bar. Of course, I HAVE NO INDOOR. Just keeping it real my friend. And this is just me requesting this apparently, but accidentally picture one of your fingers/wrists in a photo or four... Just so we know it's "you"

  Hello back towards you, Fish !   I just went on since the beginning and figured if a mod stepped in and re-directed this to where ever it should be - then that would be that...

Lookie there... Your first post here on the hot pepper.. so cute ~

I figured you'd like that - even considered getting a magnifying glass to snap pics through, but F that - lol   And summer started about 3 weeks ago here in Minnesota. Deluged in rain still, but at least there was heat.   Here's a pic of the Reaper on July 8th - and it didn't really start moving...

So here's where things are at in this early part of August. Took these photos yesterday (Aug 6th, 2019) throughout the day.   The pots on the deck railing are the only ones that really get sunlight.   So here's them, and note the Reaper on the far right how it just looks happy - like it's doing...

It's REALLY ABOUT TIME     The Reaper Says "Hello!"  

  Just so we're clear, we're dialed-in/focused on the plants pee-pee head ? (rhetorical)   Just a light jab because you real us in with your fantastic pics and great humor.   You know I've been following you for a while CaneDog - I just figured it was about time to make a post.

Just had to share this pepper-related image....     Tell me that's not cool !

No kidding there Mitzi   I have not ever seen a stalk as thick as that Reaper from seed - that's why I made sure to post the last pic - so one could easily see that. The leaves are indeed big ol' "palm fronds" - but if that stalk is any indicator of what may come, I'd say the plant is expecting...

It's been a while.   Nothing like being DELUGED in rain and cold for way too long. I had pretty much given up on any chance of a ripened pepper - it was ridiculous.   But, finally, Minnesota experienced some DAMN HOT & HUMID days... close to about 2 weeks. Just in the nick of time too. In those...

Howdy Cracker !   Are you sure you want that perlite in there ? I'll remind it "floats", and therefor I hate it. It was suggested a long while ago to me (and others) that porous lava rock can do the same job and it doesn't float. And it can still remain "light". The other nice thing about it is...

  Alright !  I thought so, even pointed at him that day and whispered to my friend "Theon Greyjoy" ? - He said, "Reek!" - lol I then knew I was on to something....     Cold over there too... Do you know what that means ?!?!!! - it means it's COLD OVER THERE TOO ! lol !   Heat please soon, man...

Yikes   Rain total in my gauge = 3 inches !       And just checking around to make sure no transplants drowned, I saw what looks to me to be MORE TRAUMA, from a squirrel no doubt, on one of the Reapers again   So I added MORE ROCKS very close around the sucker.     If these little things make...

Well hot damn   That's one awesome video !   I don't know why it reminds me of the Star Wars Kid video(s)
