MisterNo's 2013 glog - still harvesting/processing... :)

MisterNo · Aug 3, 2013

Boy, was I ambicious this season, a lot of peppers growing at my parents ranch. It might be a real problem to use all of them

Aji Yellow

Arabibi Gusano

Bhut Jolokia Indian Carbon

Datil

Inca Berry

Wiri Wiri Ma

This was supposed to be Fatalli (seed from Semillas), but it looks like some sort of Aji plant. It's HUGE, abou 130 cm in height.

Green Habanero

Peach Habalokia

Not sure whats my pic limit per post, but I'm sure I'm gonna need a bump

stickman · Aug 3, 2013

You got da bump brother! Everything's lookin' fiiiiine!

MisterNo · Aug 3, 2013

Thanks Rick

Scotch Bonnet Orange, small, not good looking plant, but it has enough pods for me

Tabasco, doesn't look much like it though.

Choco Fatalli

Early Jalapeno

Jalapeno Purple

Wild Brasil, small plant and pods, but very prolific

Yellow Trinidad Scorpion ''FG''

HabaneroHead · Aug 3, 2013

Everything is nice and green, with nice podding.
That Not Fatalii reminds me the Peter Pepper.

+1 on that! Any more pics Robert?

MisterNo · Aug 3, 2013

Thanks guys

No more pics today, I will sort out more pics tomorrow.

Sad to say, still no Pubescens pod, flowers are dropping constantly, I guess it's too hot for them.

Most of the plants look really good

Hi Robert!

Don't you think it is just about the time to post some new pics?

Hey Balasz, thanks for stopping by

It's been a very busy summer for me, so I wasn't checking in frequently.

The good thing is - peppers are doing great.

Just a quick photo from a phone taken few days ago:

I have this kind of crops every weekend

It really is plentitude of peppers. Wild Brasil, Jamaican Red and Bhut Jolokia Indian Carbon are having outrageous crops, but others are doing great also. Yellow Trinidad Scorp, Peach Habalokia, Butch T, Inca Berry are yet starting to ripen, so there will be even more

One more detailed:

I promise more pics and info in next few days.

Thanks for stopping by everybody

Thanks for posting the pics Robert! It's good to see you're having decent harvests after the cold, wet spring this year. I picked the last of the Kapijas here in Greenfield today, but I have even more plants out at my Mom's, and hopefully I'll get as much or more from her. I've roasted and peeled, then frozen about 2 kilos of them so far.

Hey Rick, thanks for stopping by!

Yes, harvests are really great, I'm very satisfied. Only Pubescens have let me down, no pods from 10 plants. They are flowering, starting pods, but then they fall off. I think that the heat was killing them, after cold spring we had an extremely hot summer. Now conditions are great, hope I can get few Pubescens pods to try out.

I already made few jars of ajvar from various sweet peppers and Poblanos, since my Kapias are just started ripening a week ago. I like how Poblanos blend in in Ajvar. Over all, Poblanos have become one of my favorite peppers, very versatile, goopd fresh or for stuffing, excellent powder

Also, your Bhut Jolokia Indian Carbon are killers, very prolific, and the heat is insane

stickman · Sep 6, 2013

If you haven't tried the Butch T before, It'll light you up good Robert! I had a slice about 2 mm wide from the stem end of one of my pods, and I had to run for the cheese and crackers to blunt the edge of that burn after only 3 minutes! It's a nice-tasting pod, but the heat continues to build for a bit after you've eaten it. I'm smoking mine and adding it to my powder blend so I can control the heat better. Cheers!

stickman · Sep 10, 2013

Hi Robert,
I thought you might like to see the Kapija peppers I planted in my Mom's garden. I thought mine were big, but hers were monsters! I started the seed you sent and gave her the bulk of the seedlings since she has the better soil... this is the result... all pods over 160 grams and the biggest came in at 208 grams.

Cheers!

Robert your garden rocks and that harvest is awesome, great job mon ^_^

Wow, Rick, very nice specimen, I had a few like this also

They love quality soil and a nice amount of water!

Thank you Ramon.

As soon as I catch some free time, I'm gonna check out your glog's.
Overhere season is slightly going to it's end, it looks like there will not be an Indian Summer this year. Temps are going down, by the end of September we can expect 5-7 C night temps, frost could come early this year. So maybe a month of outdoor pepper growing.

Nevertheless, I'm very satisifed with the season, not even sure what to do with all the peppers

Cheers!

That's as good a description of satisfaction as I've ever heard Robert... good on ya, and hope you get an even better season next year!

MisterNo · Nov 4, 2013

Boy, I was out of here almoust two months? :shocked:

I just can't catch a break, working double time and weekends for all this time.

I'm sorry I missed all the fun here at the end of the season

We had a mild frost overhere a month a go, but some plants survived. We are still in a 10+ C night temps, during the day it still goes around 20 C. So, yes, i'm still harvesting

Got my first ripe Red Rocotto few days a go, very tasty pepper, mild and juicy. I think I have a picture somewhere, will try to post it later.

stickman · Nov 4, 2013

Hi Robert! Great to hear that the season held off long enough for you to taste at least one of your Red Rocoto pods. I didn't get any ripe from mine, and I didn't have enough space down cellar to over-winter it, but I am over-wintering an Orange Manzano so hopefully there'll be plenty for next year. Let me know if you'd be interested in swapping seeds this year, I'm up for it if you are. Cheers!

Hey Rick.

I'm still waiting for the Manzano, i have two plants still growing with a bunch of green pods, hope they can come to maturitiy in few weeks.

Thanks, I'm up for a swap! I will contact you as soon as I start preparing next season. i have to figure out what to grow first

Pubescens are a must, so is Orange Habanero, Wild Brasil, Wiri Wiri Ma, Arabibi Gusano, Poblano, Jalapenos, Cayennes, some 7 Pots, Butch-T, Moruga and Jolokias. The rest is open for debate
