. Not bad really, the past few weeks have been great to my plants. We have had very consistent weather. Good sun warm day temps and warm nights. As a result ive been learning what it means to have to deal with pods Im figuring out how im gonna keep the heat for the off season. Some of em have been dehydrated and some are frozen. Some got turned into salsa and canned or frozed. others are Hotsauces. I think this weekend ima make more hotsauce. Need to Make one with the bhuts and scorps i think. Man but ill tell you what. Making hotsauce and living in an apartment building is not a good way to make friends with your neighbors Anyhow here is a few pod shots from today. i need to get the time for a harvest again. hopefully tomorrow. Hope everybody is well.
Mystery Pods. (were supposed to be Bhuts but the unripe pods are a totaly different green that the unripe pods of my other bhut plants)
Those yellow 7s make one beautiful and tasty sauce!
Man Britt that is so kick ass!Pods look sweet. And that yellow sauce looks super tasty like Stefan said. Only problem I noticed is I did not see a step by step process on how to make itGreat grow bro!
. Im Gonna make another sauce next week the same way except using Scorps and bhuts and ill do a more step by step photo shoot of that one.Greg Always an honor sir. Only other Solid in there is the garlic cloves. I add them to pretty much anything i do. Just something about heat and garlic that i think go great together! This being my first year im trying to keep it all pretty simple. Keep working my way up to you old pros!
Dont know if you can tell by the picture above but it looks like my season is coming to an end. that is construction scaffolding on my building and as of today or tomorrow i must remove all of my plants from it. Not sure how long they would have to be removed but too long for me to just keep them inside thats for sure. So now i will have to move them into the parking lot behind our building and hope for the best. IE no one steals them, or no kids destroy them. I honestly dont hold out much hope and i am battling with myself as too if i should just throw out the plants so i can make sure no one take my pots.... hard to say since all my plants are still covered in green pods. Either way it has be an amazing season. i have been really blessed with the amount of pods i have been able to put in my short and rookie season. But decisions must be made. i will take fair well pics of the plants soon no matter what i decide.
On a Lighter note. I made sauce! This time a Mango Alpine Honey sauce with my mystery pods (possibly Naga Morich)
Ingredients
1 Mango
8 Pods
5 Cloves Garlic
Alpine Honey
Apple cider vinegar
salt and pepper
It turned out simple and delicious! Not as hot as i thought but still a very very hot sauce! if i made it again though i think i could cook the mangos down more next time so i could use more mango to bring there flavor out more. Ok Till next time.
haha. i see that syndrome coming on pretty soon as well. Ive also enjoyed watching everybody develope as chilli growers and learning. the grow logs are for sure the best part of this site for me. yea im already planning next year and looking into community gardens.
True the sauces are stacking up and i got plenty of pods to make more sauces with. We will see about keeping one or two plants. The problem with that is the scaffolding blocks a lot of the sun from coming the house. but im very happy with how things have gone!That is a real shame about your plants Britt. Eats me up inside. I am not sure what I would do.
But it looks like you have a nice stash of sauce saved and hopefully a freezer stocked for making more yummy stuff
One thing I would do is try to keep one or two of your favorite plants possibly inside by a window sill if wife and space is ample
Keep us updated.
Community garden is the plan for next year! wish i had the room to bring them inside but thats not possible. But getting a new balcony isnt a bad idea
The yellow 7 sauce is easy. its just yellow 7s garlic apple cider vinegar and salt and pepper. easy and awesome! I think the yellow 7 flavor is so good it doesnt need any help.
