This begins with overwintering of Scotch Bonnets, Habaneros (red, orange), and Red Bhuts, plus an occasional Tabasco and Red Chili. New additions are more Scotch Bonnets seeded over the winter, plus some Reapers purchased from HD recently, and some Red Bells. Some small Thai germinating too, although my parent plants did not survive. Also trying to germinate some Piri-Piri. Was a warmer, wet winter here.this year. Still drying out.

He likes them and we have thousands. Maybe they taste better? It's the thrill of the chase....
Slow week for harvesting....been so hot it either bakes everything or we get violent thunderstorms. Many plants are rebooting into another mass harvest. Here are the stragglers. Cooked up my ferment this Monday, and processed the next batch, so we'll check that one in December. Habanero/ghost sauce. HOT!

Sorry, been a while. Had a good harvest run, then things seem to need a break, but all plants are setting up for another big run. Took the time to do some pruning, replanting, and fortifying larger plants so as not to fall over. Some other varieties have stepped in to fill the gap. Lemon drop, Butch T. Scorpion (1 pepper at 9-o'Clock), long green Thai given to me on my birthday, several red Habs and yellow Scotch Bonnets, and a few small Red Bhuts (12-o'clock). Some red cherries too.

Now that cooler (80's) weather is crawling back, I see another good fall harvest on the way. Starting seeds for what will be the 2020 crop. Several new varieties as well as some repeats:
Black Cobra
Sepra Reaper x Piemento
Ahi Mango (no sprouts yet)
Brown Reaper Cross
Elysium Oxide SB
Unidentified Brain Strain Cross x SB (no sprouts yet)
7 Pot Cinder
Trinidad Scorpion
Ahi Dulce
Small Birdseye Thai
Large Elongated Red Bell
La Bamba Jalepeno

Many are in this seeding tray, others to go in an alternate.

2 or three days in late January or February. If we get some freezes, they will live in the garage or in my office with the rest of my plants.
Seedlings doing well, secondary leaves showing. These will become part of the 2020 glog. Some photos of a few plants:
Ahi Dulce in clay decor pot, with 3-yr old Red Bhut in background, 2-yr old reb Hab, 2-yr old Red Bhut, 2-yr old orange (?), maybe a bonnett or hab, and a close-up of some of the (?) pods.

30 October 2019 update:
Plants still producing in pulses. Many of the larger ones are two-year plants, and we will attempt overwintering again. Preview of seedlings for 2020 are getting there. Will keep them indoors or in the garage during near and over-freezing weather. January through early March is our "freeze" season. Ten varieties in the seedlings lineup. Two or three of each variety, in some cases only one, but I want to prioritize the healthiest first.

A healthy red bhut jolokia. These always rally in December, so holding on to as many as I can get for a last year-end powder.
