Awesome pods and pics, man.
wahlee76 said:WOW!! Those tree's are huge! Are these planted 4 months ago?
I really need to learn how to do that. I'm happy if my plant get two feet.
It can't just be the temperature.
Thanks dudes! Wahlee, it isn't just the temps. Its a combo of things, but soil is a major player!
OZZZ said:Awesome... I'm green with envy!
Oh...BTW...I planted three seeds of your rooster spurs and all three broke ground the same day... so far a single fatalii broke ground as well and its a three leafer.
Yeah the rooster spurs are pretty sick with germ rates and speed. I always have them pop same day or next. Pretty insane! Keep the three leafer! That's what the mother was!

millworkman said:Awesome stuff as always Rich, those yellow 7s look freaking perfect!! I may be asking for a few later on in the season in trade for some Reapers
You got it bro!
GA Growhead said:
You should! She's a major performer with major flavor!
It is extremely good! Just as good as my fatalii genetics and thats saying A LOT! I've been burping up that great flavor all day long JUST like fatalii! Its tripping me out! I tried going back through my pms to see who sent me those and its either spicegeist, chris, or you! Was it you?! Rooster spur is an annum, but the best damn annum i've had thats for sure. beats the hell out of any asian annum or thai i've ever grown.Trippa said:

She's awesome.
Thanks! Im glad I could share the Rooster Spur with you all. I never see anyone growing them and I grow them EVERY year so maybe I can get them out there to everyone.JoynersHotPeppers said:

Well them bump bro!
Bump, and tell us more about the rooster spur - seems to be one of those small, prolific producers (like many thai peppers)...Pepper-Guru said:
Cheers, Al
Rich,your plants are kicking ass! I take things from each glog I read and try to incorporate parts into my own to make myself better. Your plants frame up beautifully before they start setting fruit,never early or too late. I have some tests going now to try and accomplish something similar. Not exactly the same way you go about it of course. Just strive to get better each season.
I sent you some yellow 7 seeds,not sure if they are the ones you started. If they are getting as big as raquet balls they may be. I have those going and another one that has the brainy top,with a big V protruding out of the bottom. There are so many different kinds right now but they all have the same great flavor.
Awesome season so far!

Rooster Spur. Much better flavor than most asian annums. Floral, zesty aroma backs up the traditional annum heat. Three foot tall, bushy plants. Thousands of pods in a season. Easy to pick despite the prolific nature of production. Deep red, three inch long, slender pods with a slight curve at the end. Stand straight up in tight, 10-15 pod clusters. From each cluster shoots the main growth tip to form another cluster later on up the stem. Could make great hanging baskets honestly. Some family has grown them for over a century here in the south to make their "rooster sausage". If the ppork they use is as nearly as good as the peppers, then Im sure the sausage is GREAT. There are many things on the internet sold as Rooster Spur, mainly shorter fatter, non cluster pods....needless to say...that isn't them. If they don't look like these...they aren't the real deal. I obtained these from a guru of mine, Hoyt Saxton, about 15 years ago.Al-from-Chile said:

Thanks a lot guys! Just trying to keep things interesting, colorful and fresh!
I'm doing something with the garden plot you may not like initially, but it's all for education. More on that latermillworkman said:

Not cool to say that without an explanation but I guess I can make it out to be a lot worse in my head and when you do show us it will be ok.

In a short explanation: I decided to move the garden and use this as the last year that I will have it there. We wanted to have a big back yard again for family recreation purposes. Maybe a pool. Anyway, I had a guy come and grade all my gigantic raised rows down flat, back into a yard. Well the soil was so compacted as a result that I knew individually prepping each planting hole was going to be starting all over again.
What I see the most on the forums are new and old growers alike, over thinking things and as a result, getting less than satisfactory outcomes. It got me thinking, so I literally plopped each plant into the compacted GA clay, gave each a 5 gallon bucket of mulch at the base, then simply walked away.
My theory will be to show the average grower what they can expect if they literally just left them alone and forgot about them. And to show the difference between tailoring a great living soil and just plain ole compacted/tilled lifeless soil with a simple mulch. wow that wasn't so short of an explanation...lol
