Thats hilarious! I'd say its getting big! Hopefully I'll be down there before the end of this month. And I better be picking some MoA pods too!
Had to do it.
Hope you have MOA pods ready when you get there.

Heh-heh... that was worth a chuckle for sure Jay! Looks like you don't have a pepper hedge so much as a pepper forest...
Seriously Rick! It's getting crazy. Already got crawl down part of one row. I was think it would grow to be 3 hedges, but now seeing it just being one super hedge.

Time to build a treehouse. Just make sure you don't get lost. I don't know if using peppers instead of breadcrumbs would be a smart thing to do...
LOL Need a lookout station! Treehouse would work. And if you ask the misses, i get lost in there all the time, sometimes for hours.

That pic is so cool...even without the crazy Avatar face in it...looks like such a natural setting for the plants. A small clearing in the woods blending into the undergrowth.
Thank you Shane. It is a pretty sweet spot. Here is the whole pepper side of the yard.

That looks very promising, this is what mine looked like when ripening off last season. Exactly the same
Didn't know that had Sasquatch over there in Atlanta
might wanna watch your peppers before he steals them
Here is the same pod today.
Looking similar for sure. Thanks for the comparison shot. There was definitely something stealing peppers. Oh wait... that was me.
And i hadn't shaved for three weeks or so. With out the avatar head you really would have thought it was a Sasquatch in there. More beard than i wanted to deal with. I'm a couple pounds less hair today though.
A completely different guy picking peppers today.

Quite the jungle you have going on! They really grew fast!
Thanks Scott. You aren't kidding. I guessing all this rain has something to do with it.

Hm, the Butch T overwinter pod is looking quite Dorset Naga-ish... I wonder if that's in the variety's genetic background.
That bottom "barrackpore" has a bit of a Douglah shape to it.
You know, I'm also curious about the BB Yellow Douglah, would like to compare them with Y7s, for some reason I imagine they're very similar, seems once a pepper goes yellow, its flavor often follows a similar path (though not identical of course)... same with Yellow Brains, they look just like Yellow 7s to me
That butch T made perfect pods last season. The first pod to set this season looked good, then every other pod has been all over the place shape wise. The true looking pod, on the right, is the first one since. When i saw them next to each other, i knew i had to get a shot. Hugely different. That is the only naga looking pod, most others are not that long.
The barrackpores aren't long at all. Hopefully they will still be some good pods. Taking one to work tomorrow with a BB yel douglah for a few of us to try. Haven't tasted either yet.
Funny you mentioned the yel brains. On Judy's site (pepperlover), she basically said yel brains are just yel 7 SRs. Not sure if that description is still on there. She had some that looked like cappy's red brains, so with his approval called them yellow brainstrains. Cappy's red brain came from 7 pot SRs, so basically the same situation with naming. Selected from the SRs. If your yel 7s are from the SR lineage, then they are the same. I bought her original yel 7s and yel brains last year and there was a difference, with the brains winning in flavor and scent of the two. Much larger pods too.
The orange (yel) primos followed that taste equation. It didn't have the fruity tropical banana like smell / aroma like the yel brains i have, but definitely the same yellow taste.
Thinking the BB yel dougies will follow that path too. I will be shocked if they don't. I really like yel chinense pods, so won't be a loss if it does taste like the others. I am wondering on the heat level though. Will let you know.

Yeah...there shapes are off...pshttt, who cares! How do they taste??? Those Barrackpores may not completely true, but the color (deeper red than most pods) and texture (sandpaper texture not "bumpy") are spot on. To me the real deal Barrackpores don't have a great taste. The Barrackpores I have going are some really cool pods, but I'm not sure they're pure either. The ones I have seen and grown in the past don't have tails. The flavor is sweet and hot though...so I like 'em! Hope that ain't all the pics you got??? Slacker!
I agree. The pods are still cool regardless. Just not what i was expecting. Plant #2 is identical in everyway. I got a few more picts coming.

Here are what mine looked like last year, I actually liked the taste almost bhut-like. I ultimately ended up choosing to continue my bhuts over this though. I tried growing one from non isolated seed this year, it was crossed and looks more like a cardi yellow than a barrackpore
Those look more like what i was expecting. I wondering if my are crossed as both plants are identical. F1s. So maybe will plant a few to see what i get next season.
Thanks spice!
A few more picts...
Giant bhut from seeds that is actually somewhat large.
First choc. big bang naga turning.
TS sweets.
And perfect hole cut in this one.
Jay's ghost scorp
Right before i picked that ripe wild brazil and ate it.
