I'm back for another fun-filled, jam-packed summer of growing a load of peppers. This year I started about 1k plants and wound up with 700 in the ground. The leftovers were mostly chocolate habs, which I decided I could do without more than the others. I'm also growing some tomatoes, and...

Here's the model.

Hit me up next spring. I started about 120 seeds.

Well hello there. Once again I have brung an update. Finally bottled the 4 year old carboy of overkill. It was amazing. Hot as holy hell, and the taste is subtle, yet funky. Like the best parts of a slim jim. It looks like a martian landscape. A few peppers about to be chopped. The...

Time for a quick update. Chocolate habs at the big spot 08/25. Another one. Yellow 7 pots 08/25. It's a jungle in there. One of the chocolate hab spots. Not doing nearly as well. Happened to see the goodyear blimp at the market a couple of weeks ago. I just...

Just a few updated pics. Yellow 7 pots at the community garden. Chocolate habs at the community garden. Chocolate habs at the big spot. Bottling some yellow 7 pot.

Salutations mon amises. I have returned. So this year I'm scaling way back, mostly because I have too much sauce still aging from last year. I don't have enough empty carboys for everything if I grew another 1500 plants, so I cut it back to about 300. All chocolate habs and yellow 7 pots. I...

Awesome. I've been growing them for well over 10 years now, I just love Indian food. I'm sold out of the curry sauce now, but it's a pretty good alternative to fresh leaves (if I do say so myself).

Ah ok. Not sure I've ever had a bing cherry. So are you growing some trees too? This is my favorite recipe with them: I also love them in fried potatoes.

The seeds you mean? The fleshy parts taste pretty much just like the leaves only a bit stronger. I usually only get a few dozen seeds from my plants every year but I make a sauce with the leaves.

The trees in their winter home. Seeds. Curry tree seedlings. A vigorously fermenting carboy of yellow 7 pots.

I figured I'd take a few minutes out of my busy schedule of chopping peppers to post an update. Seriously, I've been doing nothing but chop peppers for about a month. The plants all wound up producing pretty well. I think I'm up to 24 carboys now and I still have a ton of peppers on the vine...

Update time. So the plants at the big spot still aren't as big as I'd like, but we have another couple of months so I guess they can still put on some height. I was hoping between tilling the soil and getting them in the ground earlier they would just go nuts. Maybe I should have topped them...

Update time. A lot has happened in the last month. The plants have done a lot of growing, both as people, and as plants. At first they were disappointing, but their roots grew deep and they overcame their humble up-pottings to become healthy and productive citizens of the chili empire. Soon...

That's what I was going for but I wanted it to be a little more heavy duty.

Back with a quick update. I just got the last of the plants in the ground yesterday. It would have gone faster but it's been very dry and hot lately so I've had to water a lot, which cut into my hole digging time. New growth on a topped plant. After tilling up the big spot and getting the...

No, just the curry leaves. I should try that in a test batch though.

Hello again, I'm back with a new grow log. This year I'm growing much the same as last year. The main difference is I've added 200 Aji Guyannas and some Jalapenos to the mix. I've never grown any annuums before, so that's a first. The Aji sauce was one of my best sellers last year. It came...
