Almost what a number of you are getting in one pull.
 
The last open blossom fell off the other day, the rest are wilting and dropping. There are a number of pods left, and I've got the Darlin' Bride believing that I may win a boat, so she's letting me keep the plant on the dining room table to finish the competition.
 
Scott, I'll take the blame for 36 degrees. We have snow and 30 in our part of Texas, you were bound to take a hit. I listen to WBAP during the day, I know your forecast and Dallas' traffic situation better than my own....
 
500g? Not a problem, unless the cat......

Big late October harvest
Late harvest but huge early season looking pods! Nice!


Well, there was a hard frost all over the property the other morning.....


Everywhere except for the patio and in the pepper garden. I imagine the heat stored in the slab kept the lemon drop just warm enough and the shade cloth kept the garden from getting hit.

And the grow moves into November....

Ooooh, suspense!
 
It's winding down here, as well.  Cool and rainy, lows mid-30's
and highs high 40's-low 50's.  I have one more harvest on the
plant, will pull the last pods sometime this week.  Think I'll pull
the green ones, too and weigh them separately just for fun.  
 
Good work everyone!  Been fun watching this season.  I'm really
impressed by the totals some people not-in-the-south pulled.  
Guess I needed to feed mine more   :rofl: Kudos to Rich for
ramrodding this thread and for a great specimen plant!
 
Will post final pic and total soon...
 
Probably last harvest. Still lots of pods on the
plant. No frost in the 10-day forecast, so we might
eke out a pod or two more

My mini pod producer threw a few more.

This put me a shade under 2K @1969.
This plants a monster, what's with the tiny pods?
Too many factors go into that. I notice early season pods are always huge, in containers. In ground plants tend to stay throwing same size pods all season though. Likely heavily ph and nutrient dependent, followed by Sun hours and irrigation etc.

I'd be really keen to see photos of the actual final plants vs total pod haul.
 
Anyone got pics?
I've been stripping non-productive growth from
the plant since Fall started, so there isn't much left!
