I think people must be intimidated by my entry.

Good things there's a few brave David's who stepped up against my gnarly banana pepper Goliath!

SB7J... a bit difficult to get a good angle with such a "short" pod...

Well, only 2 of my plants gave peppers this year but none of them with a hint of gnarl ;-)

Tomatillos, tabascos, jungle python, pippin, and of course red bhut jolokias.
Couldn’t believe my buddy (#3) was so camera-shy.

Hi Guy's

I love gnarly bumpy pod's I find them much more aesthetically pleasing than smooth pod's

Some gnarly grooved green Burmese Naga

My Black Naga which turned out to be a gnarly Mustard mutation

Even my smooth Halal shop scotch bonnet are pretty gnarly I simply love the "colour fade" of ripening pod's fantastic to catch the fleeting colour change on film

God I love Pod's porn keep em coming guys
