More Nagas than you can shake a stick at!!

Hi Guys,

After missing out on West Dean this year ( a massive chilli fiesta here in the UK), I thought I would cheer myself up by harvesting my latest crop of Naga Morich Pods. Thankfully i manged to avoid the 'hand burning incident' of last year. Heres are a couple of photos of thechilemans 'class of 2008':

The missues won't be using this bowl to bake with for a while ;-)

The diversity of pod shape (even from the same plant) always amazes me.

After simmering all these the pods for a few hours with a hint of cider viniger and a little french sea salt, I made these little beauties. These should keep me going for a while:

What a harvest!!! Can't stop drooling!

 

[Skydiver]

Awesome looking harvest, mate!

Edit for: What does the label say? Pure naga pure something?

Also, the bottom pic of all those pods would make an imba desktop wallpaper, imo.

Heres a few more of my Naga images:

F++k me!!! So many pods!!! I understand that you must have (had) a load of them to make your sauces, but it's still an amazing sight to see!!!!!

Like WOW NAGA PODS Really nice Did they all come off of that one plant? Really nice

 

[millworkman]

That "tree" is very impressive. Any tips or hints on how to get them that big?

So are you going to sell the Naga Concentrate again Mark?

Yep, I made 10 jars from the pods shown above (those lying on the work top). Just listed them on ebay (as usual)

Hi Talas,

Actually its 3 years old. Hopefully I will be able to overwinter it again so it makes it into its fourth year. What is the oldest plant anyone has?

Mark

 

[talas]

Seeing as its my first year 7 months lol (its my first year)

 

[AlabamaJack]

Mark, not sure how many years a plant would live but it seems I remember reading somewhere that someone had one 7 years old.

Do you cut yours back for overwintering ?

 

[Omri]

I've seen an African Birdseye plant that is at least 10 years old. they seem to live long, until something kills it.

 

[Pepperfreak]

That is just an amazing harvest and all from one plant-tree. Congrats Mark... I wish that I could swing a purchase of the concentrate, but the wife has put a stop to my hot sauce spending. At least until I use up some of my now, 10 unopened bottles.

Nice harvest Mark
By far the biggest and most productive plant I ever grew was a naga but I'm not having the same luck this year

 

[Skyjerk]

I can shake a stick at a lot more Naga's than that
