GA GH's Garden 2013

Seeing people already starting seeds gave me the bug. & I just didn't think watching our southern hemisphere friend's grows was going to fill that void. As my season comes to an end, i needed to do something. What? I am not sure, but here i am.

Nice jungle and pod shots.
 
No frost until Dec., can't beat that.
 
Have a great week!
Thanks Scott. Your jungle is mighty nice too now.
Survived the week. Hope yours was good.
Keep looking at the extended forecast, which changes daily naturally, and frost possible third week into Nov now. Will see.
Getting my overwinter candidates ready this weekend. That will give them some time to get use to their new shoes before coming inside the garage. Got seeds on my mind trying not to start any yet.
Happy weekend!

+1 on spiders, Jason. Love the wolfies. Walking through webs makes me happy--I know they're eating negative critters. At rate we're going, don't know if gonna have frost too soon either, which is fine by me, long as the spiders and a few other benies hang out.
 
Nice poddage! You did send a Mystery multi-color; different, but great taste. Processed with kiwi, tomatillo, and scallions, nice warm version of salsa verde. Rain messed up some pod shapes. But didn't mess with flavor, don't think: peppers are tough.
 
And no, you didn't send a brown egg. But am on hunt for Madballz to do one last ferment. Jamie's getting me some, I hope. :pray: Whoever gets me some, I get some sauce back to them, couple woozies. Processed Peach Bhut yesterday. (Yes; sound like a beggar on MDBZ because I am!)
Lol. Annie, will see what's out there as im pretty sure I'm digging the madballz up to overwinter. Think i remember five to ten pods between green and changing. So maybe a few ripe now.

Jason, your plants look amazing!  I wish mine were in your position headed for season's end. 
 
     It looks like we have similar first frosts.  I am sure I will be moving some large pots indoors for ripening.  I will be sacrificing space for overwintering a growing number of citrus and other non pepper plants.  I have a couple papaya that are too big for anywhere but my living rooms vaulted ceiling or up against the house.  They are three years old (from seed) and still no fruit.  I hate to leave them out.  They grew about a foot and half this season.  I had them tilted at ten degrees on the back porch last winter.   Maybe my wife will cave at the last moment and let me move them in.  Not much good light though.  Just one of the many reasons I want to move and have some land space.
 
That cross peach pheno PI 441598 looks and sounds interesting. 
 
Have a great week!
Mike
That way cool Mike. Wish we had more fruit growing. The wife and went tree shopping earlier in the year, but didn't by anything. I want fruit. Cherry, peach, plum, apricots or something. She started leaning toward pecan or apple. I said pear? And unsettled we bought nothing. Papaya would be cool. Hope you can sneak that one in.
I'm making my overwinter list tomorrow. Wish me luck, cause i can't keep them all. Will be fighting that one out with my self.

Sweet Jason! That peach pod sounds like a keeper for sure. You described the "green/mustard/brown" pod as an interesting green chinense flavor...care to elaborate? Sounds like a good sandwich pepper for sure!
Thanks Shane. The peach pheno is a keeper. Had another this week with my buddy at work and he agreed on the taste. Really sweet and tasting much like a white pod would. Hoping to see the same color in the next generation, or other lighter colors. You want try you hand at that one?
The mystery green/mustard.... It's taste reminds me of a roast green annuum, but with the chinense taste instead. Maybe a somewhat smokey taste. That element of the taste from a green annuum is there, but a cooked one. It's not a strong tasting pod. Subtle and mellow. Don't know how to describe it really anymore than that. An interesting pod that it is.

The plants are still goin, and goin strong! Jason, you have more varieties than any 1 person should............and I love it! Purely amazing!
Thanks Jamison! No such thing as to many varieties when talking about peppers. &... Im thinking i dont like cutting the grass and that yards are over rated. If i slowly move the garden fence over a few feet on each weekend till spring, you think the wife would notice?
:D

Awesome job GA! Love your grow buddy, keep it up :)
Thank ya thank ya thank ya!

What's up Jason!! It's been a while. I get busy at times, my lil one is getting bigger and I spend more time with her.

Dang!! I just ask myself. How do you get in there and out? Lol. Seems impossible to go thru there. I'd get lost in there :D.

Keep up the poddage and the great pics. Take care.

, Walter
Thank you Walter. Spend all the time you can with that lil' one of yours. Next thing you know she will be graduating from high school. Happened with me.
On point my friend. After the plants got over head high and then podded up, ever branch just fell over on the next. You can even separate sections, it's like it's been sown together. Mostly crawl thru the top section. A few places you can stand in the middle of bothe rows. And can still pull a few branches back and walk thru on bottom. The bottom addition is crawling only now too.
It's a bit of a task getting thru there just to check this out. Harvesting pods can be even mre tricking trying to reach the pods above you.
Going to rethink my space for next season. Gotta give more room for each plant and have less in that area. Take over other parts of the yard and some of my neighbors too.
Sanarda said:
Beautiful pods GH.  Your varities are crazyyyyy.  Glad to see you had a great season.  My infinites are Not-Infinities.  They turned out yellow.
Thanks Pia. Yellow infinities? How are they. Hot? Super hot? Mine are bitter and fire! I haven't meet a yel pod i didn't like, so guessing they were still good. Thanks on the pods, but your latest updates crush mine. ;)
Bodeen said:
Awesome looking pod porn.
Thanks Jeff!



Crashing out. Have a great night, early am, and weekend everybody!
I'm getting a little anxiety just thinking about what to overwinter. Wish me luck.

Now that's an idea!
 
Mowing sux!
 
megahot said:
Gotta ask this, what are your top 3 favorite pods you've grown this yr??? :think:
That's a hard question to answer. The bahamian goat makes the list. After that it gets more complicated. I like different ones at different times. The plant #2 choc barrackpore has been a interest lately. The giant white habs (wht 7s too), BOCs, TS cardi yellows taste great. The scotch bonnets i have, TFM, papa joes, p dreadies are all quite yummy too. Jellybean habs for heat and taste. Wild brazils too. Most if the time, I don't eat the same thing twice in a week. Also add Tobago treasures, Peach bhuts, peach Jay's, TS sweets, yel brains, Peach pheno PI-441598s, and a few more I'm sure. :D
 
Awesome! I know it would be extremely difficult to answer, given the fact that you've grown so many pods LOL. Im excited about growing yellow Infinaga F5.Sounds like you got some real winners in there buddy. Bahamian Goat and Chocolate Barrackpore sound really cool. :)
 
No I don't think she'll notice at all!! Gotta push your limits, haha. And I agree, lawns are way over rated. Denniz posted a picture one time that said, "Grow food, not lawns." I always like that! IT makes sense to me.
 
They werent terribly hot.  Had a floral taste.  They were small with a funny shape.  Like a tucked in tail.  I will have to see if I can take a picture of one if there is another one on the plant.  The plant stayed pretty small and did not produce many pods.

One less pepper not tempted by. Whew.
 
Dig the MDBZ, Jason! :dance: ;)  And Choc Barrackpore is excellent!

Got a hand full of madballz for you btw. :D
 
YIPPEE KAYAYYYYYYYYYYY YIPPEE KAYOOOOOOOOOOOOO :party:
 
A Madballz in handful is better than a MBBZ in the bush unattended?
 
Brian's BOL (box'o love) looks ferocious-good! Thankful everybody sharing pepper love! (Check mail shuga ;) ) Also, have any Choc Barrackpore seeds? I pay you. (My younger seezter. Oops: :shame: on me! lol) JUST KIDDIN'!
 
Also, do you like sauces my brother of red clay?
 
Slacker update... :D
Got two boxes at the end of this week from Annie and Pia! Love the pepper love going around.

Annie! Thank you again! Put the thais in the freeze with the others for a sauce. And loving the brown7 x naga cross!

what are these three reds?

The bad news.
Garden got badly frozen. Temps were in the upper twenties. The bottom foot or so is ok on the interior and back plants. Some pods left are already mush, some ok. Might have time for a few to finish ripening with the weather staying warmer. Mid seventies this week with lows in the mid forties.
The destruction ...

On friday before the freeze, I did dig up a bunch of plants to overwinter. They made it fine and are back out getting sun today.
I also pulled everything that had color that day. Nice pile of pods.

Really like these TFMs. Dig this one up as it makes the better shapped pods.

I broke a few limbs getting it out the ground... so kept a few branches as cuttings. :)
And speaking of cuttings... bbg7, first indoor set pod. And still in a 3.5" pot. Bonsai at this point. It's dropped a thousand flowers, glad one final set.
13827180422933.jpg
 
Ouch.  Your plants took a much worse hit than mine did a few days ago.
 
Those TFMs are nice looking pods.  I wonder how the flavor compares to the MoA.
 
I've got quite a few unintentional 3.5" bonsais, just from not getting around to up-potting.  Some of them have pods, too.  Guess I'll try to OW them, since they won't take up much room.
 
Dam I’ve been missing some of your awesome pods shots Jason, great pepper love you’ve been receiving ^_^ Hats off to all da pepper love sharing \o_
 
Sad to read about the frost but I’m sure you’ll be back stronger than every next season and it’s great to read you were able to get to your OW’s before the frost.
 
Hab a great week!

Sorry about the frost...but all good things must come to an end.
 
You had a fantastic season this year!
 
Enjoy the down time and hopefully rest your back...
Thanks Scott. Season was pretty good, not complaining!
Back has been holding up. Staying busier than i would like atm, so haven't been on here much.
My overwinters have been going in and out. Back in tonite. Still a few pods on them. Looking good so far. Didn't do a head count, but twenty or so.
Take care and let me know if you need anything. I saw Mike sent you some seeds from my garden, so you got a few already ;)
Thanks for saving me postage Mike :D

Thanks Ramon! OWs are good. Garden is done. Took a few dead shots while i picked anything that had any color and no freezer burn on sat. Will try to get them up soon along with the other picts i took. Trying to keep filling the dehydrator and pack the freezer as these turn, the ones that will anyway. Hope all well down south!
Hab a great week too!
