PaulG 2016

Okay, back in the saddle again.  I checked out of this forum last September,
when my wife and I went on an 8-week vacation.  We had a blast, then I came
home to two months of yard work to catch up on, and holiday season to
contend with   :doh:   
 
I just this week finished grinding up all the dry pods from last season.  Managed
to get my seeds in to soak on Jan. 15th, and into the Jiffy Pellets on Jan. 16th.
I'm going for fewer varieties this season, but 3 or 4 plants of most varieties that
I grow out.  No small pod peppers this year, just too labor intensive for the results,
although I have some awesome small pod powders laid away.   Speaking of which,
I have so much powder I'm considering packaging and selling some this summer.  
I'm going to try to sell my fresh pods this Fall, so maybe no more powder production
until I need some, and then, just my favorites.

The 7 Pot Burgundy browns are hotter than I can eat.  These late
season pods may not be quite as blazing - haven't tried one yet.
 
The phenotypes are cool, though!
 
Just took a few secs to check this out....nice to be able to pick a little info from this as you're just down the road.
 
been wondering about 1/1/17 seed start date...looks like a plan.
 
Those browns pictured sure are coloring up nicely....I have become addicted to powders. Bet those would be delicious.
 
Great pics and info..thanks  ;)

Thanks, Masher!  Would be cool if chili heads from this region
could get together and share pods, powders, seeds, etc...
 
I have some  dried brown 7 Pot burgundy to grind into powder.
Should be a good one.
 
Are you in the Lemon Drop Growdown for 2017?
 
Also - the NorthWestChiliFest is going to be Sept. 8-10 at
Kanaskat-Palmer state park near Maple Valley.  There are four of us
from my neighborhood who try to go every year.  Would be cool if
you can make it.  The more the merrier!  Reservations for campsites
are open now for those dates.
