I know this is an old experience to most of you, but yesterday
was the first time ever tasting a pepper that I grew all by my
little self. All the way from seed.
The very first ripe Thai Dragon off one of my own plants. Out of literally dozens of peppers on each plant, one single pepper started to ripen a few days ago and today was fully bright red.
Not even a blush on any other peppers. Just the one.
It was a nice thick long pointy one about 3 inches long. I picked it, took it inside and cut it in half lengthwise and popped half in my mouth, chewed it up and swallowed.
MAN, those puppies may not Habs or Naga's but they are no slouches either! DAMN that thing was hot! Gave me the hiccups and sweats and was burning in my mouth and throat for a good while.
I was absurdly pleased with myself roasting my mouth with my own pepper![Hell :hell: :hell:](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/hell.gif)
Cant wait till I get some of my Caribbean Reds and Naga Morich ripe. By my reckoning I cant be more than a couple weeks out from my first ripe pods on those babies![Mouthonfire :mouthonfire: :mouthonfire:](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/mouthonfire.gif)
