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!

It's blazing hot and humid in the ATL! You aren't missing that! I final got some rain, none since last week in my neck of the woods. Looks like you got some over that last couple days, so should be all good! Sick score on the local!
 
Beautiful harvest! When you get the seeds back I'd love to hear how you did it.  I had some friends on a missions trip that were stopped and searched and pepper seeds were confiscated.  I appreciated the effort, but was really bummed.

Grabbed a GH3 for some film projects coming up, and it seems they've greatly improved still quality as well. The lens is the REAL reason I jumped on the deal, though... Voigtlander Nokton f/0.95 @ 17.5mm = 35mm on full frame. It's a beautiful TANK of a lens.

Thanks! Hopefully soon, I'll have some more video for you guys to check out. Working on some new music videos currently, and nearly done with the acoustic EP. We actually had some world class violinist and cellist collaborate on these 4 tracks. Its sounding really good. Can't wait to share it with you all!

This sounds great. My son is a rather accomplished violinist and is only a HS Freshman. He will appreciate the music I'm sure. Let us know when it is released.
 
 
Remember that mystery "extreme corking" seeds from earlier in the season? Well a few finally ripened and here is what they look like.

I cut into one but it was rotten. Haven't cut into another one yet but I will post photos when I do. Still not sure what this is, but it looks tasty.

They are very very good. 
 
I know I haven;t updated in quite some time, this year has literally flew by me so fast, and I've had so much going on that I really didn't even spend any time in the garden like I should have. Things are looking very good out there considering all the catapillar feasting thats gone on. I am in desperate need of harvesting. I'm actually thinking about selling every pod that I pick this year for super cheap by the box. If anyone is interested pm me. I'll go the paypal, any size flat rate box route.
 
Just walked out in the garden for a few quick snapshots before I begin an early morning harvest tomorrow. I really need to find some time to process some yields but at the very least I Have a few orders to fill :) 
 
I apologize in advance for the artistry in the following photos...haha just quick run and gun...
