Bodeen's 2013 Grow _-_ Love at First Sting

Not actually starting this yet. Just trying to get my thoughts together on what and how many I will be planting of everything. There is the possibility that there will be no cows here next year and the pastures will be made into corn fields. This would mean the barn lot will be free and empty. It grows some of the best grass on the farm and the barn does have a well and a pump already there. Could it be garden number 3??? Also contemplating enlarging the back garden again.

Nice looking pods again Jeff!  I enjoy yellow TS, it is kinda sentimental.  My first super.  But it isn't too bad as far as heat and it has a great flavor.
 
Man BD... you're busier than I am, and I'm feeling oppressed... Lol! Great looking pod porn and foodie pics! Hillbilly pest control is the bomb!
 
I think the TS Yellow and Yellow 7 are a lot smoother tasting than the other varieties... fruity, upfront and no bitterness like you said. I'll definitely be growing them again. Good on ya man!
 
Decided to up the ante and go full pod omelet with a yellow TS.  First bite gave me that rut roh moment, but it never built from there.  The heat did start in the throat and ended up on the back of the tongue, but it wasn't bad at all.  I swear the Red Savina has more sting to it.
 
I feel pretty good popping my Super "cherry" today.  Perhaps a yellow bhut is next up on my list.  I must say I am liking the yellow the best for flavor so far.  Going to try to OW this plant and raise some more next season out of the classic stinger looking pods I saved seed from.
 
Definitely a must have for the pepper lovers garden!!!
 
Got a better than lately harvest today.  51 Aji Habs, so the dehydrator will be firing up.

Made up a new batch of refrigerator dills and added the lone yellow bhut I had to it.  Should have made a gallon of these, but didn't have the jar.  In about a week they should be ready to eat.  Talk about a warm Peanut butter & Pickle sandwich!!!

Pretty freaking awesome aren't they!!!
 
Haha...I'm the same way with squirrel hunting. I would walk the woods all day with my granddad's bolt action 22s-l-lr loaded with shorts...iron sites. They always pause at the end of the limb to wait for it to rebound and that's when you pop them! Got my own when I was 12...a Marlin 22LR semi auto...they never stood a chance after that! Tried to take the boy a few times, but mama threw a fit. 
 
Nice pull and great food...got me reminiscing.

Is that a Remington bolt action single shot you're referring to?  My grandparents lived in Michigan and on a trip up there my Grandpa had his old Remington single shot bolt called the  "Target Master" in his garage sale for 15 bucks.  I bought it in a hot minute.  Those single shots are mighty accurate.
 
I always used the Remington pump "Field Master" with iron sights when I got older and until my eyes got older lol.  Now I put a nice scope on a Marlin and hit em pretty hard until deer season and then after.
 
Just walked out to the gardens this evening and I have to pick again tomorrow.  Mainly I noticed the yellow habs and the perfume, but I see a lot of supers getting there as well.  I blame this sudden low temps we have gotten the last couple nights.  Lost some blossoms off the rainforest and have some yellowing leaves.  Not concerned about the blossom drops as they wouldn't have time to make any how, but I sure don't need an early frost.  There is a lot of green out there that needs to turn.
 
Got right around 2 ounces of powder off the aji hab pods I dried.  Few hundred more pods still on the 2 plants.  Trying to think of what I can put this powder on so that I can really get the full flavor of this pepper into the food.  I was thinking grilled walleye.

Unfortunately I ate some salmonella infected peanut butter years ago. There was a huge recall, and made the news at the time. That was the only time i have ever thought i was going die. It was bad. Still can't stomach the thought of eating peanut butter again. Maybe one day.
Sounds like a ton of powder! Fish sounds delicious right now! I'm hungry!
 
Wow man great pulls. Pods a plenty! Powder and food looks excellent as well. That omelette is so big I mistook it for quiche at first lol. Think I saw the recipe for that chicken wrapped jal on here somewhere. Looks killer.
 
New pulls again today.
 
My first Burgundy is turning.  I am excited.  Can't wait to try it.

First pull of Datil.  One will be going in an omelet this morning for a taste test.

Fatalii will be tasted later.

Picked my first Feher Ozon today.  Been watching it forever and finally pulled the trigger today.  There is only one of the others that is starting to turn so it looks like I will be drying these one at a time.

I have BB Jonah and Jonah I picked today, forget which ones these are lol.

Just liked these and had to snap a pic

Needed a pic of the yellow habs on the plant.

Harvest shot.  First picking of Donne, Bishop, and the others mentioned above.

I think my harvesting is about to bust open.

The Datil pepper does live up to its advertisement as being fruity.  Excellent aroma on this pepper.  It is categorized as a low end habanero as far as heat goes, but I just don't see it.  Could be the colder growing year or being one of my first pods picked off the plant.  It is said that these pods make excellent bbq sauce, and I think I will have to find out if I can make some.  Great tasting pepper with just the slightest hint of that habanero taste.  It will find its way into the garden next season.

Spaghetti sauce.  14 quarts going into the pantry.

Wow!
 
Great pull! And I love to see what you're doing with it as well!
 
Our gardening schedules are so different, our tomatoes were done in June. We just can the tom's and make sauce as needed, then freeze the sauce into serving sized containers.
 
Have a great week!
