Very nice Melissa. Time to get that little girl of yours out in the garden to ease your back

That not trinidad seasoning look just like my hybrid bhuts only mine go red. Whatever it is, it's gonna be hot!

Thanks Jamie, I am so anal about the girls getting dirty outside! haha! When we went camping in big bear for the 4th I was constantly changing my 2 1/2 yr old cuz she looked like a pig pen! Drove me crazy! lol. The 5yr old is getting more and more interested in growing, even asked to try a pepper last night! I was shocked because she is really picky about food! I had a hot hungarian wax, had no heat, so I let her taste it, oh man was she sooooo proud of herself!

That not trinidad seasoning looks hella hot, going to pick one tomorrow and see what it's all about!

Amazing plants and pods Melissa that new smoker is going to be working overtime for you with all those pods that sucks about the causalties. Wow already planning out for the new starts do you have an idea of what your going to overwinter and which ones take the walk of shame. Everything is loading up in flowers here they seem to be loving the low dry heat and high humidity, but this quick rain was nice. Good luck with the predators hopefully they wipe out those pest and make it safe again for your plants.

Hey Fernando! Thanks for stopping in!

Yes that smoker is going to work some overtime, hubby got it today and it's already put together! Tomorrow is the day I will have some powder in my life! lol. My plants are loving the weather too, and I couldn't be happier with the rain we got! I came outside this morning to all my plants saluting the air, leaves standing straight up like when I give them tea. I haven't really decided which plants I will give the boot, I may try to keep at least one of each variety alive through our winter. My raised bed my brother built for me will be overwintered, will build some kind of protection over it. Should be a busy off season, between outdoors and in.

Ripe Yellow Habalokia, this baby will be eaten sometime this weekend!

My nursery bought fish pepper has variegation, YES!!

This sweet cayenne is sooooo long!

Baby chocolate scotch bonnet ripening

More updates to follow this weekend, Happy Friday everyone!!

Very exciting 3/5! Nothing like harvesting the fruits of your labor!

Harvest shot from today and a baggie of smoked powder I made with a whole lot of peppers!

highalt · Jul 20, 2012

Beautiful harvest you got there, and that powder looks tasty too!

Have you eaten any of the smooth, yellow mystery peppers yet? The one in the picture after the Barrackpore pic. Just wondering about the heat and flavor of that one.

SocalChilehead · Jul 20, 2012

Looking amazing Melissa almost done picking baby pods over here as well hopefully you plants start producing true size pods. Amazing harvest I don't anything that size until the next month, but the Jalabanero starting to elongate more. Can not wait to see if there is any difference between the plants.

Sanarda · Jul 21, 2012

WOOOWWW Beautiful... good going and growing to you Melissa... woooohoooo

emon069 · Jul 21, 2012

Hi Bonnie! Thanks for stopping in, the powder is super tasty! That yellow is most definitely a sweet pepper, didn't grow any bells this year so this was a welcome surprise! Very tasty, like it better than a bell.

Thanks Shane, yes manzanos galore right now! My potted plants just keep kicking them out! I need to repot them, 15ga pots aren't big enough! Dang things grow like weeds. Probably going to build some raised boxes so they can go in the ground. Hope all is well in your world!

Thanks meatfreak! The tobago scotch bonnets are very prolific plants, both in ground plants are loaded and huge! Will be growing them every year for sure.

Thanks Fernando! Yea it seems like everything is starting to pump out true size pods, it's starting to look like a jungle in some places! haha! Looking forward to seeing the jalabanero! My two seedlings are just about ready for a 1ga pot, they grow fast!

Thanks Eric! That powder is really tasty and smokey, I was going to throw a little baggie in your surprise box of pods and forgot! Next time! It does have some supers in it, but it's a mixture of everything I have been harvesting lately including the annums. Smoked it with apple wood, yummy! I have a bullet smoker and the electric one like Shane's now, I used the electric for this batch. That thing is so easy to use, worth the small investment!

Pepper-Guru · Jul 27, 2012

Looking good! what strain of hops ya got growing there!?
