glog It's never too early to get started!

Sooo... 2022 season is over and most of my 2023 plants are already there - no reason not to start a new thread already! 😃

See my previous glog... https://thehotpepper.com/threads/2022-too-early-to-get-started.75362/

While all my current plants are technically overwinterers, only a couple have grown through the 2022 season and are considered interesting enough to keep for next seasons grow.

Let's start with the famous Schneider farms SB plant, which will be going into it's third season in 2023. It currently doesn't look all that nice but that was also the case during the winter of 2021 so no worries here...

And then there's the Humble Servants Homestead (HSH) SB, which was also elected to stay for next season...

Well... it's the first time in 14 years that we're actually visiting a place during our holiday. And we assumed that our daughter would be here during that time when we decided to go. But in the mean time she (finally) got a job and she is staying with her boyfriend who lives at about 80km from where we live.
But I already instructed our neighbor how to take good care of my plants and told her how worried I am about them, so I'm convinced she will take good care of them pepper plants 🙂
 
After a week on holiday I could pick a nice harvest 🙂...

This harvest is only a fraction of what is still on the plants.

Nice harvest, Marc. Those tap decorti look a lot like
Spanish Piquillo peppers. How’s the flavor profile on
those?
 
Looks like I'm in a jam-making phase right now. Although the pineapple-mango-scotch-bonnet jam that I recently made (see post https://thehotpepper.com/threads/how-are-your-bonnets-doing.77021/page-2#post-1773670) is not bad, I still prefer the taste of the pineapple only jam, so today I made another batch of just that. I used one pineapple, the juice of 2 limes instead of one and 4 scotch bonnets this time. The extra acidity of the second lime makes it even better and the 4 scotch bonnets give it a nice kick!

Actually I wanted to try using 7pot brainstrain instead of scotch bonnets this time but I had no idea how much I would have to use to get about the same heat...
