Looks like you've had a good season there Paul ;)
 
Love the pod pics! It may have started off slow, but it came back nicely :P

Hey, Scott!  The pods really ripened up during the hot weather, alright.  
I'm kind of glad for a few days of rain to slow things down a little so
I could catch up with the harvested pods!  They all seemed to ripen
at once this season, except for the bonnets, a BOC and the F5-2,
which I'm still waiting on.
 
Hope all is well with your grow.
 
BTW, what is the background on the JA Red Habanero seed I got from
you and Ramon? They are so different than the Caribbean Red Habs
from CPI

Thanks for dropping in, Alex!  Was scrambling to keep up for awhile, but
the cool weather this week has mellowed things out a little!

Some really good looking stuff, Paul! As the season shortens I find myself away from work more and more and in that garden looking for what you've been picking. We're taking in bumper crops of everything else, hoping our pepper haul looks like those above....

Good luck getting more peppers this season, Eric.  I'm really hoping for a
decent October.   Weather forecast for next week is mostly sunny and mid-60's.  
I'll take it; hoping it develops.
 
May warm weather come your way, bro!

My pleasure, Jacques... going to [post a few more now
in just a moment.
 
:cheers: Here's to the warmer days finding their
                 way to your doorstep, my friend!
 
My MoA Scotch Bonnets have gone through some
kind of spasm in the space-time continuum, and are
producing every phenotype imaginable. Maybe it has
to do with the wet Spring and insane hot temps this
Summer...

Here's a little sampling of what is hanging on the plants:

Wow Paul!
 
Nice harvests! Really happy to see all the goodies coming in ;)
 
As for the JA Habs; Ramon got those on a trip to Jamaica. They certainly are a fantastic producer; and it seems they do well here in the heat and in your climate....bonus! Although the pods got rather small when we were in the close to 100's range, they just kept on a trucking. They also have a unique pod shape for a Habanero. They will always be a favorite. Mine are currently ready to rock! The plants are large and flowering nicely.
 
If you remember, last year I was still pulling them in January last year. However, the MoA's don't seem to like it in my garden. I'm hoping for a late run on them :rolleyes:
 
Pics first, text to follow

Largest BOC from first real harvest:

We've had a few really beautiful days. Another several days of rain
in the near future (maybe an inch from this coming Friday to the ff
Thursday,) but no temps below 61˚F days or 45˚F, nights and hope-
fully, partly sunny skies:

Pods came in quickly for a couple of days:

The walls of some of the BOC pods were literally weeping oil:

Smoked Scorpions/BOC, Aji Amarillo, MoA Bonnets, JA Hab:
IMG_5831.JPG

 
Aji Lemon Drop.  Great all around pods.  They hold well  after
picking, and aren't too hard to de-seed for a nice, fluffy powder:
IMG_5832.JPG

 
First harvest of Caribbean Red Habaneros (CPI):
IMG_5833.JPG

 
Smoked BOC. The cold smoker works pretty well.  It burns about 11/2
to 2 cups of chips with the lid on the Weber for several hours, maybe
shake the chip can a couple of times during the final half-hour for a final
bit of smoke:

We may have had our issues this growing season, but it was still a good harvest in the end, eh? Nice to see those dehydrator trays full of a rainbow of chile varieties. I particularly like the look of those BOC and red Peruvian Rocotos.
How much longer does your season have to run? It looks like we'll have at least another three weeks 'til frost here unless Ma Nature throws us another curve. Cheers!

It is a decent harvest, after all, Rick.  The standbys all did well,
and there are some promises of some late season pods.  My seed
pod for some of the Scorpions was harvested on Oct. 10 last season!
 
We have a few weeks of growing weather left. Weather will be variable,
with some nice days and some just partly sunny. I have already started
removing plants whose pods have all ripened.

Great harvest Paul. Well done.

Thanks, Qandeel.  What are you growing in Oman?
 
Devv said:
Very nice Paul!
 
They all came in just in time ;)
 
Funny how this season has went so fast....

Parts of it have flown by, for sure, Scott.  Other parts like May
and June seemed to drag on forever.
 
I'll get another harvest today before high chance of rain hits by
tomorrow afternoon. Still a lot of green pods hanging down,
especially some MoA and the Aji Amarillos.  Aji Lemon Drops
still have a bunch of pods on them.

The Habs almost remind me of the Seven Pot Yellow I used to grow - big blocks
of heat! I'd say the pods are 4x the size of my Carribbean Red Habs!
 
The MoA have some decent pods on them, but none that will win the LOTG
contest. Yet!  :rofl:  I posted some pics in the competition thread. 
 
Hope your grow is proceeding apace, my friend.  Need to visit some grow logs!

You're in a pepper heaven there Paul. Bunch of beautiful pods and the plants are still loaded. Nice to see that. Good season huh ?

Despite the ups and down weather-wise, it is finishing out pretty decently.
A little wet weather coming our way, but am hoping for sun breaks  ;)
 
How is the weather in Slovenia these days? I hope you have some grow
season left.

Good to hear you're getting the most from this grow.
 
The weather around here is quite good these days, so peppers are ripening. We have colder nights (down to 5°C) and warmer days, up to 20°C. Lot's of fog in the morning, which I kinda blame for early tomato season ending.
I had to put away the tomatoes and bells (a few of them are still up left to ripen). I plant to harvest the most of hot peppers this coming week.

Good luck getting those peppers in, Uros!  The end of the season
is kind of sad, but I'm always glad to cut back on the care and
feeding routines! Next step grinding up some powders!
