haven't got a ripe one yet.

i grew thunder mountain longhorn and joes long to see which of these "long" cayenne is best. Another one is whippets tail but i didn't get seeds for that one.

these thunder mountain longhorn just dried on the plant lol

 

[ShowMeDaSauce]

Thats kinda cool actually. I see its comes from a region in China between Hunan and Chengdu. Should be great for Sichuan styles of cooking.

Howdy, Jonathan! Your grow this season was outstanding.
Those grow bags/slabs are really intriguing, very efficient
and orderly! Not to mention great results. 
 
Anyway, congrats on a great grow this year 
Your photos really show it off well.
