pics My lil patch of goodness (pics)

This year I only grew my scotch bonnets and jamaican hot chocolates as i didn't think my work would allow the time for anything bigger. These 2 types are a requirement in my life (you know like air) and I can't imagine cooking without them.
I got stuck with growing in containers because 80% of the yard is heavily shaded and where they are located needed to be elevated. I like to think I've gotten fairly good at this(potted) as I grow enough to last me throughout next season and give countless bags away to daring souls. Most ppl I know are jalapeños lovers and anything else is just crazy.hahaha

These were taken a few days back and the 1st ones to get picked and as of today there's about another 70-80 about ready.
nuff said.

Nice!

I have my first scotch bonnet plant that is about a month old, and can't wait to see how it yeilds, taste, burns, etc.

Only problem is it's growing amongst a couple other pepper varieties and none of them are labled... duhh :rolleyes:

You can't see it in the pics but each stake has something written on it with perm marker for ID'ing and a few are in test soils that that I have been working on with a local farmer/friend. The SB's have a bit of growth time(as do JHC's), so be patient and don't be like me and stare at them everyday telling them to hurry. :onfire: . The SB's heat run about the same as habs and hotter but I think these are a better flavor, even better when you smoke them(NO, not that kind of smokin'..lol)
Hope they turn out well for ya.
