harvesting AJs Harvest #7 07-26-09

[AlabamaJack]

I got more than I expected today...a little over 14 pounds...

my pods have really decreased in size for the most part...some, like the Trinidad Scorpions and 7 Pot have maintained their size...two things have happened I think...one, calcuim lack and two, the hot weather...I used a tomato/pepper peletized fertilize that was 4-3-2 and 7% calcuim...just a waiting game now to see if the pods get bigger....this may be my last good harvest before the "no pod stretch" comes...I am really looking forward to a good fall harvest this year...

I have been picking peppers for 4 hours...time to relax a bit...

running total for the year....
19.3 Kilograms / 42.5 Pounds

4 hours, whoa, got hot out there didn't it.

Very, very, nice haul AJ. Your work is cut out for you.

 

[AlabamaJack]

actually it has been a fairly cool morning...its only 92 right now but I decided to stay out of the sun today and cook/can salsa and puree...don't know how much I will get done...was out until 3am this morning...had a gig and ate breakfast afterwards....pretty tired right now...

[AlabamaJack]

thanks again gents...the weather here is cooperating this year...we had a long stretch of 100+ degree days (about 13 or so in a row) then it cooled down a bit..to mid 90s and very humid...the plants are thriving...IMO if it stays like this, I will have a slow down for pod set but not as severe as last July/August...

Just noticed yesterday, I got a lot of Dorsets ripening....this is the first year I have grown the Dorsets and I am interested in comparing them with the Naga Morich/Bhut Jolokia/Bih Jolokia...that day will be one hell of a taste test...

Going to interesting to hear your Views on The Dorset compared to the Bhutt Or Bih Morich causes some arguments amongst between my family and friends

I am going to try and get my buddy Randy to come over for the tasting...we both love the heat and endorphin rush we get...will post pics when we do...

That looks amazing and so yummy too~~~!

thanks Penny...they are delicious and I must say of all the peppers I am growing, I like the Bhut, 7 Pot, and Scorpion best...

the scorpion "hurts" me...

Simply amazing AJ. 40 pounds of peppers and you're just getting started. I hope the weather cooperates the rest of the year for you AJ. Best of luck to you.
