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...

Next in row is my Scotch Brains plant...

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

Thanks for the photo. You both look great

I'll never understand why so many people do moronic things like that. Good thing there are good people like you to adopt

I just moved the HSH scotch bonnet plant inside yesterday and today it already gave me 2 hands full of ripe bonnets!

Picked one and ate it raw... initially there was hardly any heat but the taste was great (to me), sweet with no bad chinense taste at all! It's at least every bit as good as the Schneider Farms scotch bonnet. Dare I even say... better? Yes, I do think I like it better! The heat was a real creeper and it was a good but not overwhelming heat. I have a new favorite!

Thanks! It's already our second adopted labrador

Just ordered some Schneider Farms SB seeds from Texas Hot Peppers off of your recommendation (along with Bahamian Goat and a Rocoto variety and three other types, because once you're ordering seeds, you might as well order seeds.)

Are the HSH Bonnets from the Etsy shop? I might have to pick some of those up too - after enjoying the P. Dreadies so much, I'm keen to grow a few other varieties this next year.

They are indeed from the Etsy shop (what makes it very expensive for me )...

Thank you!

Also, I couldn't decide between "like" and "sad" - the internet has destroyed our emotional vocabulary!

I recently ordered 2 more packs of their seeds... costs me about 35 euros. And for those high shipping costs you would expect a fast delivery? Nope, my previous order took more than a month to arrive. For me, Etsy is a huge rip off! But at least, the seeds are true...

Needed to make some room in the freezer so I decided to dry most of the peppers that were still in there from the 2023 season. It's mostly Schneider Farms SB and some yellow 7pot brainstrain for added heat. I also added some of the harvest from this year... papa dreadies, more Schneider Farms, HSH and bahamian goat peppers. Had to put the dryer outside to keep the pungent fumes out of the house...

Of course I did not wear gloves and I'll probably regret that wife already warned me...

Tell us about tomorrow's... sensations.

<It would be sexy to have emotes like chilliemittens or hotfingers (omg, I couldn't find funny way of saying fingers in english, I found tootsy but it's for foot! It would be funny to post tootsies on fire instead of hands tho lol )>

Congrats on the supplies!

Seems like the heat on my fingers faded quickly... no real issues so far...

A really nice shaped papa dreadie...

The nicest fruit of my HSH bonnet plant so far...

The typical HSH bonnet shape is clearly visible on this one.
