Got a decent pull of pods today, first of the chinense.
Aji Lemon Drop and Padrons still ripening up pods; both
are so productive. The Costeno Amarillo and Serrano pods
are starting, as well. More days of high 90s and 100s over
the next ten days should kick the process up a notch.

Looking good Paul! You've always made good powders... Will you be making any sauces or salsas to can up for the winter?

Great looking pods!

Some nice sets of pods you got there Paul.
Congrats.
Those JA red habaneros really look like those habaneros of mine I have tasted yesterday.

Thanks, Uros - was your red habanero a hottie? 

 

[Devv]

Glad to see the nice harvests Paul! The pods are picture perfect
 
How did the cold smoke experiment work? I'm thinking more along the lines of saw dust when using a soldering iron.
 
I give you an A+ for thinking outside the box

Quite hot, but somewhere in the caribbean red level so totaly bearable. Similar flavor too, if I remember right.

Managed to pull a few Fatalis and some almost-ripe
Aji Amarillos:

 

[Bhuter]

Paul, your pods are beautiful! Nice and shiny...especially the JA Reds. Fatalii's and Amarillos are looking mighty tasty. Great stuff!

 

[stettoman]

The Oregon quarters didn't get by me, Paul, nifty touch!
 
I'm hoping for some of your kind of harvest, gotta get through what might be our first frost tonight (zone 3 has it's down side!) but at least I have 6 healthy and various plants I can bring in...
 
Still hoping for that green Aji Amarillo recipe you mentioned a ways back....

Thanks, bro! The near 100 degree days
are kicking the pods into ripe mode! The
JA Red Habaneros are one of my favorites.

Good eye, Eric! I didn't want to use just any old quarter!

First frost - that's not cool!
Well, I guess it actually is cool.
Too cool Good you can bring them in for some protection.

I'll get that recipe, brother.
Just one of my serial senior moments!

My plants are covered in ash...it's disgusting.

I'm sure it's way worse down in your area. Now we have
the fire in the Columbia Gorge smoking up our area, too.

 

[charlesquik]

You guys got a frost?! 
 
Damnit that suck.

Thanks, Giancarlo.  the rococos are awesome, but I get
so few off a bush. Not sure they will be in my next grow.
 

Great harvests Paul lovely pods you have there .... nice to read you have some late season sun

Nothin' but heat and sun for the past two months, John. We
finally will have a weekend of temps in the 70s instead of the 90s,
and a few clouds around to give us a break. I'd like to see sunny
and 75 through October   Fat chance!

No frost here Charles - just smoke and ashes,
but Stettoman was expecting a frost.

Great looking pods Paul! We got a layer of ash from the fire near Crystal Mountain ski area a couple of days ago. Looking forward to visiting with you soon. The temps have dropped now out here. Should be very pleasant this weekend.

Looking forward to seeing you, too, buddy.
I'm bringing some fresh pods and powders to share.
 
I've been following at the weather forecast for Maple
Valley - looks just great!
