We're going on a little trip, so I'll get a break from gardening

There is some heat there, alright!
 
We're leaving for a long vacation on the 23rd, so this may be my last post of any 
real content until we get back in Nov.  Will sign back on then.  Will be shutting down
the major part of my grow, and leave just a few plants still ripening up pods: F3,
Scotch Bonnet TFM, Fatali Savina, Aji Amarillo and Goronong.  My son will take
care of those while we're gone, drying the F3's and some seed pods.  The rest
of the pods will go to neighbors.
 
The last Bonda Ma Jacques x Yellow 7:

 
About a half dozen Bhut Jolokia hybrids left:

 
The last of the chocolate Bhuts.  Not many pods this year:

 
Awesome Fatali Savinas ripening up:

 

 
This pod is a full three fingers long.  A real monster:

 
Some A+ Scotch Bonnets coming along:

 

 

 
A beautiful white pod from Trippa's F3:

 
Will try to check back in a time or two before we leave on Wednesday.

What a great season Paul!! Glad to see you are taking a long vacation now to ease yourself into the holiday season and ease that gardening burden.
I am super stoked my supplied seeds reaped some rewards for you ... That F3 is a credit to you!!
Enjoy your holiday Paul ... Where in the world are you heading my friend?

 

[Devv]

Nice closing Paul!
 
And enjoy the time away!

 

[cone9]

Have a great trip, Paul.
 
I've enjoyed the glog.

 

[Rymerpt]

Love the pics

 

[tsurrie]

Great season for you this year. Great glog!
 
Have a nice and long vacation. We'll be here when you coma back

 

[ColdSmoke]

Very nice PaulG
 
I have to stop looking in this thread...it's depressing. I can't get anything to ripen. I've sadly come to the realization that I just don't have the necessary sunlight anywhere on my property to grow a good crop of peppers.

One last pic before we get away from here; Scotch Bonnet TFM really coming on:

It will be nice to be free of the garden for a while.  I'm sure I will
have plenty to do when we get back in mid-November.  
 
All of the seed you have sent me the past few seasons has performed
admirably well - you da man, Tristen!  I only wish I had room to grow them all!
 
Our travels will take us mainly to Wales, and Spain.  We are really getting
excited to be on our way!  Will check in with you when we return, my friend!
 

Nice closing Paul!
 
And enjoy the time away!

 
Thank you, Scott buddy!  I hope your Fall is proceeding at full speed now
that you are back in the saddle.  Will check on your Fall garden when we return!
 

Have a great trip, Paul.
 
I've enjoyed the glog.

 
Thanks, Anthony.  Glad you have enjoyed my humble offerings.
 

Love the pics

 
Thanks, Ryme - I enjoy putting them together.
 

Great season for you this year. Great glog!
 
Have a nice and long vacation. We'll be here when you coma back

 
Thanks, Uros, glad you enjoyed it.  I'll be looking forward to
getting back on the forum when we return.

Very nice PaulG
 
I have to stop looking in this thread...it's depressing. I can't get anything to ripen. I've sadly come to the realization that I just don't have the necessary sunlight anywhere on my property to grow a good crop of peppers. 

Some of the peppers like lots of sun, others seem to like a little shade mixed in.
 
I hope you can keep growing until you find the right types to grow in your particular
micro-climate / habitat.  Getting pods to ripen up in the PNW can be difficult - almost
every season I've tossed lots of green pods at the end of the season.  This year 
was an exception due to the great weather in June, I think.  The Aji Amarillo take an
especially long time to ripen.
 
Don't give up, Jeremy!  Once you determine which varieties do well for you, you will
be off to the races!

 

[Portuge]

Great harvest Paul...

 

[PaulG]

Great harvest Paul...

Thanks, James.  The Lord has been good this season!
 
Okay, we're on our way tomorrow morning, so will check back in
when we return in November...
 
I hope everyone closes out the season strong!

 

[PeriPeri]

Bon Voyage my friend, thank you for a spectatcular glog that has kept us all bedazzles and entertained!

 

[Pulpiteer]

I hope you are enjoying your trip Paul! Great season for you - well done!

 

[chileaddict]

Hope you have (had) a great vacation Paul! Visiting with you and scanning your glog has inspired me to get back into growing again next year.

Amazing grow ! Some incredible looking peppers. I would love to purchase seeds from your Jamaican red habaneros if you have some available.
