pics Mid-summer Chile Pepper Pics

[djsketchie]

Here are some pics I have been meaning to throw on here for a week or so. My friend who lives about an hour away usually grows 9-12 plants I have left over every spring in his small garden, and they always seem to do really well. From what I can tell, all he adds to the soil is coffee grinds and wood ash from his fireplace over the winter. I gave them a dose of worm castings and bone meal when we planted them out, and then a dose of fish ferts a month or so ago, and I will probably visit this afternoon and spread some tomato tone for one final feeding this season.

The Pepper Patch

Fatalis - This plant is only about a foot tall, but it's about 2 1/2 feet wide and has tons of pods

Bhuts - Another plant loaded with big pods

Bhut Closeup - Almost 4 1/2 inches long!!!

UPDATE: So here are some selected pics of chile pepper pods I brought back from my friend's house this weekend. The ones I grow in my 5 gallon buckets just don't compare, even though they come from the same seed stock. Good thing he cant handle the heat, which means i get all the pods But I really do need to get a place where I can have a real garden next year.

I munched on quite a few peppers over the last 36 hours, so I am anticipating a solid colon cleanse soon. I also realized that I don't find fatalis crazy hot, but they have a really nice, fresh, fruity flavor. Every once in a while, a white habanero will put me on my ass for 10 minutes, and tabascos are no pushovers, but nothing really compares to the bhut...puts me in my place every time for at least a solid 20, milk or no milk.
