I love those racks Paul, and I laughed to my self on all the "Rack" jokes I came up with. Those would make some really great Christmas gifts for Chilihead friends.

Everyone loves a nice rack

Filled with powder that is!

edit: Sorry but Bill got me going...

Shall I start a pool to see how many rack jokes will pop up? :rofl:

What do you think a rack of these would be worth if it were a product? The rack would hold 6 ounces of powder in all.

Thats a great idea. In a specialised food shop they would be worth a good amount.
PaulG's Homemade, Organic Chilli Powders! presented on a great rack

Hey Paul, that is a great idea and look awesome too!

bpwilly · Dec 12, 2014

I agree that is a great idea. But I have no idea what powders really go for now days, since I rarely purchase much, unless it is something that is really unavailable. Including the powders in a nice shaker set like that should up the asking price a bit. Sure would make a nice present to any Chilihead.

Not touching the rack side of it, got to stay out of trouble at home!

Okay, Paul. You've inspired me to germinate some rocoto seeds in about a week, and see what I can do at the southern end of the State. I just have to pick a good spot here once it goes outdoors. Partial shade, huh? Not good...

As far north as you are, you shouldn't have to worry about partial shade Jim. I've had my Manzano planted in full sun for the last 2 seasons with no problems. It drops blossoms during the hottest part of the summer, but so does everything else. In general, the Pubes are very slow-growing, so try to germinate your seeds as early as possible, and if you can, over-winter the plant to give it the earliest start possible in the spring.

Nice job with the racks 'n shakers Paul... what a generous neighbor you are! I hope your neighbors think so too...

Roguejim · Dec 13, 2014

PaulG strikes in southern Oregon! Very generous, of course. I have to say that annuum powder really has my interest. I don't think I've ever seen this type of powder before. I really appreciate your effort and generosity, Paul. Merry Christmas!!

Thanks, fellas. Like I said my neighbor found the racks and bottles on Amazon Prime.
All I did was fill 'em with powder

What goes around comes around, I guess. Look what arrived in the mail from Tristen!

I'll definitely add a couple of these to my grow next season. Thinking Chili Goronong and the Cabe Gendot pubescens.

Just a little portrait of a real hottie:

You can see a seed nestled in the slit pod on top.

Looks like you getting ready to have some fun! That reaper is a beautiful thing!

Looks like you have some choices to make Paul!
Nice mix!

Just a quick post to say thanks Paul! This time it arrived safely.
Gorgeous looking powders!

stc3248 · Dec 23, 2014

Got mine too Paul! Thank you so much! What a wonderful Christmas surprise! Very nice color and flavor on the powders brotha! Have a great ~~seed starting~~ holiday season!

KiNGDeNNiZ · Dec 23, 2014

Paul.. i carry your powders where I go.. i split the MoA owner with me jamaican Coworker ... she says thanks..

How's the cheater box? ? You should get or make your own foam start tray for the aero. . The aerogarden is for 66 seedlings and comes already prefilled with plugs

Or make your own holes to fit the basket... i did that and made a 9..a d a 16 spot tray
Happy holiday

Fun, indeed! Next season I want to photograph more
of the dried pods. They have a cool look, to me.

Have a nice Christmas!

Thanks again, Tristen. It pains me not to be
able to grow out everything at once!

Your seeds have been very good to me, brother,
and I'm sure these will be no exception!

I hope your Christmas and New Year's holidays
are full of joy and family!

So right, Paul! Tristen always has some very interesting stuff!

Merry Christmas!

I'm very happy they arrived on the second try, buddy!

Enjoy them, my friend, and have a wonderful Christmas season
with your family and congregation. Merry Christmas!

All right! The USPS is performing in exemplary fashion!

Thanks for the seeds that all that came from, my friend!
I hope you enjoy them.

Merry christmas to you and your family!

It's Christmas all right! Received a nice package fromHillbilly Jeff. The yellow sauce is MoA Madness. They
will get a nice tryout tonight!

Just a small illustration of the power of genetics. Both of these Aji Amarillo starts came from the same seed pod:

They went into the germination chamber on 11/15; hooks 4-7 days later.

It's not genetics. It's the blue cup. Didn't you get the memo??

I'll be firing up the aerogarden with some chinense seeds in about 10 days!

You have a good Christmas with your family, Denniz!

Man you've had a great season and harvest! Those Douglah's look scarey.

Had hernia surgery quite a few years back myself. I'd imagine you're up and mobile again.

Yeah, I had two hernia surgeries in the past year,
but everything seems to be holding together so far!

Thanks, Neil. We were fortunate to have a
great grow season this year in the PNW!

Hope you and your family are enjoying the holidays.
