Will we get warm weather and all the snow melts then we get another dump of snow and deep freeze, then it warms up and back down again etc.. etc..

+1, those really do look awesome!   - actually, everything looks awesome.
 
What's your plant in the third pic?  Really nice structure and foliage.  Kind of a cool bhut-influenced look to the leaves.

 

[dragonsfire]

Thats the only survivor of the Yaki Blue If a recall .
Thanks!
Serrano's and Cayenne doing real well, cayenne usually the first to ripen, but the weather is so FU no idea whats going to happen, allot of plants going to seed.

 

[dragonsfire]

Yaki Blue doing real well lots of pods
 

 

[dragonsfire]

Its a rush again for peppers to ripen before it gets real cold.
 
 
Atomic peppers.

 
Gong Bao

 
Ring of Fire

 
Serrano

 

[ahayastani]

Your Serranos make mine feel envious
 
Ring of Fire looks nice as well. How would you rate/describe its taste and hotness?

 

[dragonsfire]

Haven't eaten any yet, Ring of fire will be nibbled on soon

Ring of Fires were nice for us last year.  We dehydrated most of the pods for powder.  The only cayenne we grew this year was Thunder Mountain Longhorn.  It was a weak plant for us but was very early ....  it might be good for you.  We got enough pods to refill our powder needs.  

 

[CaneDog]

Looks like your peppers are really cranking right now and in good shape to get you a bunch of ripe pods.  Great to see that.  I'll be curious to hear what you think of the ROF's when you get around to nibbling; your good review will put them on my grow list next season.   
 
Those Gong Bao look great too. And the Serrano.  Shoot, they all look great.

 

[dragonsfire]

Thanks!
More ripened today, temps cold, have to wear coat in morning so things moving along fast. Still nothing from the Recoto I saved from last year, take closer look today when it warms up, see lots of flowers, and I got Bees in the garden so should be something.

 

[dragonsfire]

No fruit still from the Rocoto unfortunately, lots flowers but no fruit.
"Mexican Pepper" from a package a lady gave me, no other info on it.
 

 

 

[Zippy]

The Mexican pepper looks good. When my Urfa Biber approached that size we had some cooler single, digit nights. Then they went brown and mushy. Hopefully yours escape that fate DF.

Ring of Fire
 
Had a nibble.
Very nice heat, not biting, nose started to run quickly, heat about Thai Chile, surprising floral after taste.
Heat last about 30min for it to be totally gone, body sweating a bit , was a nice bang.
Yup will grow them again, nice sutle body.
Making Salsa with them tonight.
 

 

 

 

[Mr.joe]

Sounds like a winner. Doesn't look like you will have trouble finding seeds

 

[dragonsfire]

Cajun Belle
 
Sweet initial taste then the heat, about Cayenne level heat and Bell Pepper sweetness. Heat does not stay long, not sure if its accumulative, might be.
Lovely. Didnt bite into seeds, flesh hot enough, going on pizza tonight  
 

 

[Zippy]

I hope you have your plants tucked away DF. We're both in for a 5 degree night. Though my long range looks cooler than yours I am afraid. 

 

[dragonsfire]

The Black ground sheet helps and wind does not get in low so it keeps a few deg higher. Didn't see wilting this morning but things are thinning out, they can feel the fall/winter coming.

 

[dragonsfire]

So these were labeled Jamaican Mushroom Peppers but obviously not. They have the heat of Cayenne and a sweetness.
If anybody has ideas
 

 

[dragonsfire]

Ripening picking up.
 
Mad Hatter

 
Atomic peppers

 
Serrano

 

 

[PaulG]

Good to see things getting to a
fruitful stage there, Neil. 
 
We are hoping for 4-6 more weeks
of good weather here, as well 

 

[dragonsfire]

Cant find a couple labels so have to try and track down from some pics.
