OCD Chilehead · Jul 17, 2014

Cake looks good. I'm glad your birthday went well. Thanks for sharing the family photo. That's really historic, in more ways than one.

Enjoy the evening.

Oh and my blood work results from annual exam came back today, LDL dropped 30 points and I am now 10 points below goal. A1C dropped .1 to 5.8 and I am now only .1 over goal. Still need to raise my HDL 5 points.

They were kind of perplexed that my blood contained high levels of capsaicin

Also... ment to tell that both my hurricanes are not making the correct shapes as the pods sent to us.
They don't have the three lobes like yours that went red, but are already larger and different shaped. Will have to get a photo.

I'm absolutely jealous of your tomato grow. Damn dude.

Actually, everything you have seems to be doing really well. "You got the touch, my man!"

HillBilly Jeff · Jul 18, 2014

Have not made any hot sauce with them yet. I believe Greg made some hot sauce with them and it was darn good.

Pod Pic Update

BMJ with the amount of plants I have, I should be able to make many things with this pepper.

Out of all the 7 pod burgundy seeds I saved from the perfect pod, this is the only plant that looks like this. Odd.

Crappy picture, but I have a Crystal Pod going

HBJ podding up well.

Limo Rojo, looks a little condor-ish

MoA are kicking it. 12 plants of these too.

TS Yellow Offspring

Its going to be a hot summer!!!

OCD Chilehead · Jul 18, 2014

Dang! Pod city. WhooHoo. Nice to see some pods. Wish I could share the same. Mid July and no supers podding up yet on my end. It's all good. Still learning and having fun here.

Have a great weekend.

It seems like every MoA picture I see looks like they're growing true, very nice!

Very nice peppers but I'm most jealous of all the raspberries and blueberries you have. Happy belated birthday and continued success in the pepper patch Jeff. Beautiful place you live at, love the old timey picture of the homesteaders. How many acres?

Took some hot peppers into work and this one Mexican guy always says the peppers aren't hot. He had the Jigsaw today and commented that it was HOT...I kind of thought it would get his attention.

TrentL · Jul 19, 2014

Sweet poddage Jeff! You're right... gonna get HOT.

That Burgundy plant is beautiful. None of mine last year had such dark coloration. One of my 7P Browns did, though.

So you think that foliage coloration is normal and it just isn't a different plant? A few years back the only plants I had with this coloration were my chaguanas plants.

Sawyer · Jul 19, 2014

Yeah, I think so, but that's a relatively uninformed opinion. The dark-colored 7 Pot Brown last year definitely had brown pods, but they had a slight naga-ish shape to them as opposed to the blockier normal 7P shape. I haven't noticed any darker-than-normal plants yet this year, but things are just now really starting to take off. I'll be paying closer attention now.
