Almost ripe pods on the Texas Tepin:

 
Some people harvest pods in 5-gallon buckets.
I use a measuring cup  :

Spanish Piquillo:

 
Piment d’ Espelette:

 

[PaulG]

Haskorea:

 
The Yellow Mushroom, not so much. I will
probably have to hang this plant up in the
garage like the JA Red Mushroom last year:

 

[PaulG]

Moruga UV Chocolate starting to turn.
Pods are small but über gnarly:

 
Orange Bhut Jolokia Chocolate, round pods:

 

[PaulG]

Really? These Capuccinno SB look like some
demented, twisted cross between a Chili Goronong
and a Peter Pepper  :

Chile Gonorrhea doesn't sound too bad as a new pepper name

A few more pods trickled in today.

p
Fatali, Lemon Starburst, c. chacoense v Exile.
 
First decent pull of a single type pod.
These are Bonda Mahala (Bonda Ma Jacques x Yellow 7):

Dehydrator starting to see more action:

Bonda Mahala and KS Lemon Starburst.

Today’s trickle.

Top: Purple Thunder
Bottom: USDA c. cardenasii and c. chacoense Putapario.

Annuums enjoying some sun for a change:

 

[PaulG]

Rain and clouds for a few days.
Forecast says about 2” over the
next 36 or so hours.
 
Red Mini Rocoto really putting on the color.
Cool, damp weather is causing some pods
to crack:

About twice as many pods on the
red as the yellow plant.
 
Ornamentals are extending branches which
is opening up the interiors to more light:

 

[PaulG]

Brought some plants under the canopy
for the next couple of days of rain:

 
Also put some slow ripening wilds in the
greenhouse. They can stay in there for the duration:

c. eximium, BB Habanero, Amarillo Chiltepin, 2nd year Chiltepin.
 
 

 

[PaulG]

Found a few ripe wild pods between the raindrops today:

Top: c. chacoense v Exile, Bird Aji.
Bottom: c. chacoense Putapario, USDA C. cardenasii.
 

 

[Wiriwiri]

Glad to see your harvest Paul...my putapario is now starting to ripen.
The ornamentals are lovely ..is that Black Pearl top right?

 

[PaulG]

Oddly enough, the Black Pearl is lower right. Had
green foliage until super hot weather darkened it
up a little. Top right Is Chili Costa Rica from THSC,
a c. frutescens. On the Left is Black Prince.

Well, it looks like your 2020 cash-in is starting Paul. The Red Mini Rocoto is LOADED! Congrats.

Wow!  Look at that blue sky.  I thought you all were getting a lot of smoke.  
Hope you get lots of pods before the cold weather sets in.

Wow!  Look at that blue sky.  I thought you all were getting a lot of smoke.  
Hope you get lots of pods before the cold weather sets in.

Smoke finally cleared out. Now for a day or two of
showers then some sunnier weather with occasional 
showers, as per usual here.
 
It’s always a crap shoot this time of year here.
We usually get at least a partial harvest, but
it is unusual for all the plants to ripen up all of
their pods. I started trimming a lot of foliage,
growth tips, and non-bearing branches a month
or more ago, so they have a shot at hitting the
100% mark.

Well, it looks like your 2020 cash-in is starting Paul. The Red Mini Rocoto is LOADED! Congrats.

Thanks, friend!
 
Hoping that the case, DR. Lots of pods getting close,
but this time of year it is always hard to get some of
them to the completely ripe stage before cold damp
takes ‘em down.
