Lots of stuff going on here.  Last night some nasty stuff rolled through, but north of me.  I just got an inch of rain, but 5 miles north of me it looks like a tornado went through.  The farmer that farms me had his grain bin lifted from foundation, roof lifted on his house, and his brand new barn that holds all his tractors, combines, and two semi trucks and trailers was destroyed.
 
Picked what might be the last of the big pickings of the raspberries.

Ran out of time, but my mystery pepper is loaded and ready to pick, peach TS are ready, my yellow manzano has a pod, JA Red is coloring up, Jigsaw is ready to get picked, and a few more are popping.  Tomorrow will be my first harvest...pics tomorrow.  And I have yellow TS pods popping.....excited!!!
 
Peppers are growing out of whatever was wrong with them and they are starting to look good.  The ones in the raised beds look really good.  Shouldn't be long and I will be having some good pickings of peppers.
 
 
I also picked and tried the chocolate scorpion.  Lovely aroma.  Fruity taste until the overall mouth burn hits.  A woman at work tried a sliver and said it was smokey tasting, then coughed a bit and said, yeah, its hot.  I really love the aroma...you know the one I mean!!!  Don't see any other pods on the two plants I have, but I am sure they will pop.
 
Want to write down my two reviews while the second review is still burning me.  
 
TS Peach was the first pepper.  Very fruity aroma when first cut open.  Didn't even have to bend down to notice it.  Tongue burn when I ate it a piece of it and that was about all I got out of the pepper as far as heat goes.  
 
Next pepper I tried was my fully loaded mystery plant.  I was sure it was a TS yellow or a 7 pot Burg.  Throwing red pods.  Faint fruity aroma.  Tried a piece, then tried a bigger piece and nothing until I swallowed.  Just a throat burn, not too bad.  Then it moved to my tongue, mouth, gums, then lips.  I'd say 5 minutes in and I still have a nice lip burn going off of a piece of this pepper.  I am saving seeds as I go.  Hope it produces some more pods for me so I can share them around to see what everyone thinks about the pepper.  
 
Pics to come after I throw these two peppers in two omelets and give em a go.
 
Here is a pic of the TS Chocolate I had Earlier this week.

That's all the pepper shots I have for now.
 
Great updates HJeff. Glad your plants are putting out some pods for ya. Steaks look nice too. You're really in high gear!

How big are the Goliath jals? Production on those is looking real nice. JA reds and fatalii peaches are also lookin good. The jigsaw is smoother than others I've seen... How's the flavor there?

Goliath is running close to 5 inches, but I am sure production will get better.  JA reds are a little small.Haven't sampled the Fatalii cream yet or the Jigsaw.  
 
I haven't had a chance to check what my pod production was last July, but I am guessing late July the poddage was flowing well with August on being crazy busy.  Just hoed all my peppers and did some watering.
 
Seen these and couldn't resist.

Once I have my A1C checked, these berries will find their way onto some ice cream and on my birthday there will be cake, blood sugar be dammed.  Not that I think it is high, I am just trying to keep it below where they want it and I think killing junk food consumption should have done it.  Will see soon enough!!!
