[SIZE=10.5pt]Hey gang...[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]I'm super late starting my Glog, but I figured I should do it anyway. Hindsight is always 20/20 and had I know we were to have a mild winter, great spring, and perfect summer... I would have, should have, could have started 6 weeks before I did. Anyway that's all water under the bridge and despite we are enjoying a nice little grow this year.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]Big thanks to Rick for trading on the Arche Noah stuff I bought. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]Space is a premium here in Germany, and I definitely crammed as many plants as I could in my area of the family garden (4 generations enjoying this plot) With a little more space I think we could have an amazing garden. Learning a little every season and already looking forward to next year [/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]Anyway, on to the Pods.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]This year I've got quite a good mix. A few didn't germinate, and a few didn't survive the transition from tent to outdoor, but regardless I'm happy with what we've got.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]Dominica 1, 2, 3, 4, 5[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]When we took are honeymoon last year we visited the tiny island in the western Caribbean called Dominica (not Dominican Republic). Lush jungle/rain forest... Hit the local market on a Saturday and grabbed a bag full of local peppers. They have a brand of hot sauce from the island and at least two pepper farms, so I'm confident that these are unique. Resemble many other peppers, but not as hot as I was expecting. Definitely not super hots, but full of flavor.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.5pt]Cherry Bomb[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]These seeds come from my father's next door neighbor in Florida. He's an older Indian guy who's hobby is chili plants. His wife died last year and it's been a really rough time for him. These plant are my best way to let him know I'm thinking about him. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]
[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]Sakay Green[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]Seed from Rick. Man this plant has taken off into a real bush. Want to give one of these guys some room to grow next season.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]
[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]Dutch Yellow[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]I harvested these seeds from a store bought chili. The only thing HOT I could find in Germany. Easy to start, faster grower, with lots of pods. These are actually pretty damn hot. The only thing I don't like is the high volume of seeds. Last year I de-seeded and made some great yellow powder.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]
[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]Goat Weed[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]Like the shape, color, flavor, and heat. This is one I can eat raw, cook with, or powder. Seeds were from Rick.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]Ochsen Horn[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]From the Arche Noah seed company in Austria. Small plant, massive peppers. Going to try these as a base for chili powder.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]Trinidad Yellow Scorp[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]Not much to say. Most of you know this pepper.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]Cayenne[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]In the garden for powder. Nice plant this year, lots of pods.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]Aji Pineapple[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]Love these![/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]
[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]Toms [/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]We have a nice crop going. I have 4 variety of German hierloom seeds for next season. Looking forward to that![/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]I’ll try to drop an update here once a week as time permits.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]Anyway, I hope you are all well. [/SIZE]
