Another great harvest. Just had salsa with the paper lantern in it and loved the heat from those. Is that a lonely lemon drop I see in the picture? They have an excellent crispy crunch when you slice them in half and a wonderful scent. You won't be disappointed in those. About the only thing I don't like about the Jamaican yellows is trying to clean them. I bought a soft bristled toothbrush and it does a good job on them.

How are those peters? Was thinking about trying a plant just so I could give away pods lol.

Your garden is really kicking in now!!!

Thanks Bodeen! My garden is definitely kicking in to high gear, not only do I have pods ripening daily but new pods set everywhere! They love this heat wave we have been having, I figured I would get lots of flower drop but not the case! The lonely yellow is a Aji Limon, I LOVE those peppers! Great heat, smell and taste! Just can't go wrong with them! I should have a lot more in the next couple weeks, it's doing the one or two ripe pods at a time right now with tons green. I agree the jamaican yellows can be a pain to clean, but they taste so good so I will keep growing them. I was looking through my harvest to see which one you think is a peter? Sounds funny even saying that!

I didn't grow any of those so it could be a mutant pod of some other variety you are seeing

Wow Melissa, Those harvest shots are starting to look comparable to the "Mighty Shane's"

Those stuffed peppers look crazy good. That's how I do them............no room to breath..................ha

I envy your extended growing season, You'll still be harvesting.....while.I'll be replacing all the bulbs for the winter start-up.................

Your glog sure produces the "artsy colorful" photos.................grow on with it!

Greg

Thanks Greg!! I am not a fan of cream cheese so we go the ground beef/cheese/chile/onion/garlic mixture for our poppers, and if they don't overflow you didn't do it right! haha! Not sure I compare to the ol' mighty STC yet, his plants are on steroids for sure!! Lol. I am lucky for living in socal, prime pepper growing conditions. But that won't stop me from firing up the indoor grow come October! I bought some pods off Silver surfer and those seeds are begging to be started!

Oh and FYI, if you need a good source for bulbs that won't break the bank. 1000bulbs.com is the place to go! Buy in bulk and save a whole lotta money!! Good luck with the rest of your season and winter grow!

Great as usual Meliss! My first chinenses are starting to ripen(orange habs) Yay! They are actually bonnies worlds hottest habs but are orange 3 have a little color showing finally now that the temp dropped to around 100 F. Keep up the great work!

Eric

Woohoo on the pods set Eric!! Awesome!! See I am not the only one getting pods set in 100 deg heat, it's crazy how many pods have set for me during our heat wave!! I hope you have many many more to come!!

The picture below the grilling pic. Lower left hand corner. Second pepper up looks like a lantern. The curve of the stem is pointing to what I thought was a peter.

I found a garden orb spider in between two bushes in my grandmother's bushes that I was trimming and growing close together. I am terrified of spiders especially large ones, but when I saw this hand sized spider that had drawn a zig zag in its web.. i just knew satan had created it and put it in my grandmother's yard to punish me for my teenaged sins... as there were many... i screamed for Sweet Baby Geesus and ran inside. Needless to say my uncle finished the hedges..... I was done to the done done....

[background=rgb(255, 244, 228)]Thanks for the info on the spider, I could tell it was an orb weaver by the web. That guy popped up overnight, crazy how quickly they build their webs! He is more afraid of us than we are of him, it's my hubby's new pet! lol. Yesterday he had me come out and watch as he fed it some bugs, you are right, amazing the way they wrap up their prey! He is a keeper that's for sure![/background]

NOOOO NO TO THE NO NO...I RAIDED HIS ASS... NOOOO HE COULD NOT STAY...NOOOOOOOO.. FK THAT

stc3248 · Sep 7, 2012

Geez Greg and Melissa I'm blushing over here! Seems I recall a harvest shot from the Chi-town area with two full 5 gallon buckets. I am no where near that! I have been blessed with some really productive plants this season for sure. Not sure it was at all my doing, but thanks! Harvests are getting better on your end won't be long and I'll be wishing I had your harvests!

Pia "[background=rgb(255, 244, 228)] [/background][background=rgb(255, 244, 228)]I was done to the done done...." :rofl:

I had a few acres down in TX and was out on the riding mower one day ducking and dodging the trees and ran smack into one of them. Her and her web smack dab in the middle of my face...or more ALL over my face. I'm not afraid of spiders...but that one did creep me out a bit. She jumped clear and ran away. Trail running in Florida I would come out of the woods with webs trailing behind me like party streamers. I always got the honors of "setting the pace" out front...[/background]

Sanarda · Sep 7, 2012

UMMMM SHANE... They would have had to get the sedative and a straight jacket for me...... Im just saying.. the thought of what you went through with that....well just say I am sitting in my chair right now looking around like the crazy person that hears voices in her head. My husband looked at me like WTF WRONG Wit YOU????? :rofl:

I Like scaring his ass so I realized what i was doing and looked at him all crazay and said..."NUTTIN...WHATS WRONG WIT U :shocked:

." HE TURNED AROUND, looked at me like she is :crazy:

AND WENT TO BED AHAHAHAHAAAAAA IM GOING TO HELL WIT GASOLINE DRAWS ON AHAHAHAAAAAAAA. I know he is sleeping with one eye open and I love it

fishing4fun2 · Sep 11, 2012

Nice review, you guys can sure handle the heat.
Those Antilles Fire peppers are one of my favorite ones to grow, they put out a lot of pods that start out green and then a dull brown color into the orange then red thin skinned pack with seeds and oil with a cool wrinkle look to them and pack a punch for sure.
Keep them coming again nice review.

brownb4 · Sep 11, 2012

awesome job you guys, i like how you left the guys hangin and jumped into the ice cream tub :party:

. i would have beat you to it if i tried either of those peppers.

i love how your GLOG has progressed from seed starts all the way thru to reviews with tons of photos and updates. you have my vote for GLOG of the year

emon069 · Sep 11, 2012

Excellent vids you guys, Way to go Juan for not drinkin' anything after the antilles fire! Keep up the great work Melissa, and congrats? on the new job. Oh yeah, Mr. Pots you the man, way to make it look easy. Lol.

Plenty more crying came along with SS's pods Shane! lol. Started a new job this week so I haven't been able to review any more of his pods, hoping I can get a couple done today with Nick since my job is 5 minutes from his house.

Thanks Joe, I struggled but not nearly as much as the Antilles Fire! Nick has come a longgggg way, proud to have turned him in to a chile eating machine!!

Thanks Stefan! Yes that pod was definitely a winner, will make great hot sauce and powder! Silver surfer sure knows how to grow em!! I had to dive in to tasting the super hots, if I thought about it too much I would never end up doing it! But I am scared of his pods now, crazy hot! :fireball:

Why Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it, that wrecked my mouth and stomach but it sure is fun to watch! lol. I can see those pods going great in powder or sauce, but eating them alone is just :crazy:

!! haha, thanks for stopping in!

Thanks Ben!! I would have fought you for that ice cream, the burn was insane!! lol. I appreciate the kind words, I have tried to keep the glog interesting and I am glad you like it! Although quite a few of the other growers have some top notch GLOGS as well. I will be doing some updating this weekend, my new job comes with the perk of getting out early on Friday's so I can't wait to go home and snap some pics! Take care!

Thanks Eric! I am sure that video was quite entertaining for everyone! lol. The new job is great, very very happy here so thanks for the congrats! Working for a family owned metal forming job shop, 5yrs previous experience as a buyer for this industry has made for an easy transistion! Love it! Hope it is cooling down for you in Vegas!

AGAIN AS ALWAYS YOU DIDN'T DISAPPOINT!!

Thanks Joe!!

OK GUYS HERE IS THE VIDEO OF MY BRO AND HUBBY EATING SILVER SURFERS BHUT JOLOKIA INDIAN CARBON, BATTERY DIED AT THE END SO IT CUT OFF BUT THEY DID REALLY WELL. UPDATES TO COME THIS WEEKEND, AT WORK NOW.

HAPPY FRIDAY!!

3/5King · Sep 14, 2012

All three of you do a wonderful job. A tip for showing the pods up close on the camera; put a dark piece of paper behind it when you hold it up to the camera or hold your hand flat behind it. This will help the camera focus on the pod and not all the background noise. That Yellow Billy Boy Douglah had you zingin' hahaha. Nice you get to have All of the family join in on it...I'd love for my family to embrace it but that my friends will never happen...they don't even eat raw Japs....it's a sad sad world over here in Wau-town.

Congrats on the job! It must feel great, although I'm sure it has a bitter sweet effect. Life's all about balance though right. Well wishes coming your way. KUTGF

HillBilly Jeff · Sep 14, 2012

Some more nice videos. Keep em coming!
