Guru's Garden - Traveling the World in Search of Peppers

Just starting this glog now so it's one less thing to do in a few months when I'm knee deep in compost and getting things in the ground.
 
Not much to report at the moment. Strains yet to be determined, but I'll probably end up growing too many like always...lol
 
 
Only thing that's going on right now is a clean back patio and the chickens doing their part turning over my compost pile on the daily. Intersted in seeing how the soil microbes appreciate the added chicken poop!

Hope everyone has had a decent winter so far and here's to happy germination!

EDIT UPDATE: This glog has turned into an ongoing overwintering, greenhouse and soil building how-to!

My tank top or my dank tank tea?! Haha
 
I sure wish I had a few more weeks, picked a bunch of green chinense the last couple days. Some of the nicest pods I've had all year. We had a rough July, Idk if we had any rain.

My freezer is full though and I have piles of pods I need to do something with, so I'm satisfied.

Next year I'm gonna try to grow less varieties, hoping that will give me more consistant harvests.
One of these year I will hopefully be growing as good as you are.

Dude, you aint kidding.  These late season pods are super dense and all of them so consistent in shape. They ripen in stages down the length of pod, producing that multi color look. I love that. 
 
 
I REALLY need to stop growing so many varieties. There are just so many cool ones. 
 
I hope to figure out a few that produce well and are the flavor/color I'm after and do whole rows of those. Then do some new/interesting stuff in pots or something.

Oh my, Rich! What a stupendous dish! PUH-LEEZE let us know how that beauty turned out...and not least how the jelly sauce complimented! It was suggested to me that I try a PDreadie/chokecherry jelly that I made last year be put to the jerk chicken or pork test, but I never did get around to it before the batch was gone. So far you and Reggie (Warrantman) are the only I know to use that Aji Oro/chokecherry on meat. I really gotta get cookin'!
 
OK! 
 
As promised, here is the Official 2018 Garden Walk Through and Year In Review. As you may have noticed by now, our format will not always be the same as everyone else's traditional YouTube channel. Sometimes, I'll want to get more artsy than "informative" and when we have ideas for cool videos, we will run with them. Sometimes there is so much more that can be said by not talking.
 
I hope you all enjoy the break from the norm and stick around for more content to come! We recommend using your favorite headphones for the best viewing experience. Music: "Infinite Absence" by Cathedral Ring A special thank you to our boys in Cathedral Ring for creating such fitting tunes and allowing us to use them.
