The Cinders I'm growing are F2 seeds I think I got from Andy.

Oh really? You may get chocolate pods! I personally think the chocolate are hotter. Have you seen PeterS doing a review on F1? The pods that Andy's seeds came from?

Here's that.

Awesome! I can't wait to see what you get!

Yeah you got the right idea about the bent stingers...

The thing about those two caramel-ish Cinder plants is, I had one growing next to the red one at the community garden, and the other was growing 3 blocks away in my back yard. So, side by side comparisons of the plant were impossible, but I could tell which pod came from which plant by the color, if I was comparing the pods side by side after I picked them. I like to let pods ripen fully for best flavor. The lighter ones took on a deep burnt sienna color, once they got that red tone to them. The darker ones just got closer to brown-ness. Not brown like my Chocolate Brainstrains or Jamaican Hot Chocolates, but on the browner side of caramel, with very little reddishness....

Again, wish I kept all the pics I took of these. I feel like I'm describing it wrong... Or maybe they were just brown?? But like I said, they weren't as dark as my Chocolates, and they had that orange quality behind them. But the lighter ones were prettier and, more importantly, closer to the colors you were posting bitd...

I'm sure they were a darker caramel. Cool beans! I like the way you choose to save seeds, as well! Thank you for all of your decision-making in that area.

You've got a lot going this season. It should be Podville at your place!

Finally got 'em outside to stretch their legs.

Bubblegum Pumpkin

One of my Aji Oro plants is budding and forking already.

Glad to see them outside!

I still have some of those original seeds you sent, if I can get the Chinense to produce, I'll plant them. I probably will because in November I'll be a short timer and after that I will have a life again...after 47 years

Thanks!

And right now splitting my time between the garden and a small edition to the house...it never stops, and work sure does get in the way of life!

Thank you very much! There are a couple videos on YouTube with reviews on it, if you haven't seen them. F1 review link is in the top post of this page. I'm excited, too! I'm glad so many people are growing it...and some people are growing it again! Woohoo!

Thanks!

Didn't grow the Cinder this year, but I did save seeds from F2 pods and F3 pods you sent me last year. I'll have to grow them out next year.

No problem, Bud! You've got your hands full! I can get you some F5 seeds at the end of this season or F4 pods, if you'd like. Or if you want any other generation.

Time for a rant.

Am I the only person who hates spring? Yes, the weather's nice...but that's it. People get cabin fever and MUST go outside and do things. I'm not an outside person. I hate being outside. I'm not a people person, either. If there are people outside, I stay in. I go out to check the plants. It may take a while, but I'm coming right back. Outside is too bright and hot. I guess it comes from being from California originally. I was excited to move to Michigan 20 years ago because it snows and it's cold here. BULLSH*T! It's hotter here! No humidity in Cali. Out here, you can drown in the air.

This happens every year. I tell myself in the fall, "No damn garden next year." But here I am. Every year I go through the same thing: I give up...I don't wanna do it...I'll just let the plants die...maybe I can sell them...etc. But I never do. It's not the gardening, it's the weather. I like cold and snow. BUT, if I were to move further up north, I'd bitch about the cold and darkness. ‍

I guess I'm not happy unless I'm miserable.

Anyway, thanks for listening and I'm sorry if I brought anybody down. That was not my intent. I just wanna know if there are other anti-spring people. This weather makes me want to scream and sleep...at the same time. Lol

Sounds like you need a hobby

Weather is nuts and spring or any other season no longer has a specific time.

That would solve it...if I wasn't so lazy and apathetic. Lol. How IS your weather up there, Neil?

dragonsfire · Apr 24, 2019

Saturday to Tuesday supposed to be temps of -2 to -4c at night.

I’m not a big fan of the mud. My big dumb Aussie/Border Collie can’t stay out of it. Daily dog baths, but he is good at getting a bath, he’s got the routine down. [emoji16]

There we go! Now we're talkin'. I had to put the AC in a couple days ago. We live upstairs and the heat is always unbearable in the spring/summer. But I like it cold and dry, like a museum. Anything above 68° and I'm roasting. Old age hot flashes. Hopefully it warms up for you soon. Get all the season you can!

Ugh! Don't those dogs have water proof fur, as well? That's gotta be a PITA. Gotta saturate em just to get em wet. "Out of the mud! You know the drill...into the bath!" Lol.

Oh, man! What a bummer. Mine is usually the middle of October...but that's for fall, not winter. Lol. Yes, an indoor grow! I hope it flourishes! Fewer bugs, too!
