That goes for me too Paul...  I got the envelope today. Everything looks great and the powders smell awesome. Thanks so much... I'm looking forward to sampling them after the holiday. Wishing you and yours a happy T-day!

 

[GA Growhead]

Got mine too! Thanks Paul!

Happy Thanksgiving!

 

[PaulG]

Paul nice perspective shot of your yard, You're Light..GreenHouse will keep the plants happy through the night.
I like that idea...Bonnets in the Chili. ..I'd have two bowls of that !
Nice growlist for 2014..
.Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanks, Greg.  I have taken a real liking to the Scotch Bonnet peppers.
I'm hoping the addition of the light to the greenhouse will keep more plants
alive during the winter.  I'm trying to keep the overnight lows to around 50
degrees, so we will see how the costs are affected by that and the light.
 
I need to pare down the list a little.  Any suggestions?
 
I hope your Thanksgiving holiday is a good one, too, brother - 
I'm sure it will include something nice and warm!

A smart man plans ahead, and you have a nice plan!
 
Enjoy the upcoming holiday!

Thanks for seeing a plan in here somewhere, Scott!
I appreciate the kind words, and hope you and your
family have a nice Thanksgiving, as well.

You are more than welcome, my friend; the pleasure is mine.

I remember the dog days in our yard.  It didn't look quite like it does now!
It's sort of like not having to child-proof your house any more 

Got mine too! Thanks Paul!

Happy Thanksgiving!

My pleasure, Jason.
 
Enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday, my friend!

Awesome powders by the look of it Paul, whats the story on the kitchen sink powder?

I love the colors of the powders - really beautiful.
The Kitchen Sink is a blend of lots of different pods - NuMex Twilight,
Explosive Ember, Bolivian Rainbow, Inca Red Drop, Cayenne, Aji Omnicolor,
and a little of Stickman's Gochu Powder.  Just sort of a general purpose
powder with a little heat and flavor.  PM me an addy, and I'll send some
your way along with some dried Goat's Weed.

Managed to snag a few more pods from the greenhouse    and finished them off in the banana bag for a couple of days.  These Chocolate Habaneros are from the clone.  Both Choco Hab plants have been cut back for the winter:

 
Closer view of the three in the center.  They remind me of three mice eating a chunk of cheese!

 
The last two Bahamian Goat's from the outdoor plant - they have been i the banana bag for almost a week, so I think this is as good as it gets for them.  The Yellow Scotch Bonnets (greenhouse) have almost no heat, but great flavor.  The Mountain Peppers still maintain a good heat level even this late in the Fall.

 
Also took a few more out of the banana bag that have been in there for a while.  These Bih Jolokia and the Naga Morichs below were mostly green with 20-50% color when I stripped the plant.  They haven't ripened up much in the past two days, so am going to go ahead and dry them:

 
The Naga Morichs.  I'd like them to be a little redder, but Im afraid they won't maintain their firmness for much longer:

 
The last two 'Giant White Habanero' pods.  In general, the heat on the late pods isn't as elevated as that of the summer pods, but the flavor is maybe mellower:
