Well, anything can happen! You never know, I could be subject to a random aphid hail storm and be out of this race at anytime!!!!

Better chance of parting the Red Sea

Well done Rich

 

[stettoman]

No kidding, Rich. No cheating on my part will come close to you and that evil possessed plant of yours.

So tell us, Santoria or just good old ju ju voodoo?

I plan to start putting a buckshot per pod

Those baccatums really take ages to start ripening here!   Still none of the lemon drops are turning yellow... No ripe pods on the aji cito, aji pineapple and aji fantasy either. Of all the baccatums I'm growing the only one that already gave me a couple of ripe pods is the aji omnicolor. On the sugar rush peach I have one pod that is starting to turn. Annuums and chinense ripen a lot faster for me...

I expected more, but then remembered I missed a dank tank soil drench just before last harvest...I remedied that

 

[PaulG]

Okay, Rich, you can stop making making me jealous.  
You could stop harvesting now, and I still wouldn't
catch up 
 
Good growing!

 

[JoynersHotPeppers]

An amazing plant! I really need to feed mine more often for sure, only one good drench so far.

 

[stettoman]

Oh Rich, you're just compensating for....
 
So, what truck do you drive? How big are those tires anyhow?
 
 
That is a ridiculous massive plant, never seen the like!
 
We have those same spiders here in the Tundra. They get to be as big as your hand if they do their job. We get 'em in the tomatoes.
