San Pedro Orange, color spreading quickly on one (!?) pod.

 

[PaulG]

Been a busy week. Picking lots of pods before
a couple days of rain this weekend.


Fatalis, Trippaul Threat White, two Purple Thunder Yellow Caramel:

 

BJ Brown produced well this season. Still more on the plant:

 

[PaulG]

All this color from Trippaul Threat:

 
 
The Mini Yellow Rocoto is trying to extend the season:

 

[PaulG]

Picked a boatload of pods yesterday:

You might notice the silly praetermissum is trying to flower.


Ornamentals looking good in yesterday’s nice sun:

 

[PaulG]

Mojo Blue Ghost putting on a fiery show:

 
I think this San Pedro Orange Rocoto just
might make it all the way to ripe:

 

[PaulG]

First ripe Orange Spice Jalapeño, and it’s a mutant  :

 
Speaking of Jalapeños, this Zapotec is just about there:

 

[PaulG]

I saw a Green-Tailed Scorpion scurrying into its burrow:

Moruga UV Chocolate.
 
Found a few ripe roccotos on the vines today:

Top: XL Brown, Peruvian Red.
Bottom: Ecuador Red, Tatiana Yellow, Mini Red.

Now time to start working the 5-gallon pail of pods...
 

These are all Trippaul Threat v2 F2:

And these are the F8 White Lightening:

 

[PaulG]

Time to start working on these...

Sugar Rush Cream. Not sure what a ripe one 
looks like, but if they get much darker they get
very soft. Flavor very fruity with a mellow burn:

 

[PaulG]

Nice haul of Aji Benito. Not quite as fruity
as Sugar Rush Cream, but very similar burn:

These are an oddity from the Orange Bhut Jolokia
Chocolate seeds. Last season the pods were awesome
spade-shaped pods about two-and-a-half to three
inches long. These look suspiciously like a Red
Habanero in the wood pile:

 

[PaulG]

A closer look at the rest of the five-gallon pail...


All Scotch Bonnets; TFM, Capuccinno, Papa Dreadie Red:

BJ Brown, Red Scotch Bonnet, a few Yellow Seven:

 

 

[PaulG]

KS Lemon Starburst and Fatali:

Yaki Blue Fawn and Mojo Blue Ghost:

 

[PaulG]

Another Round of Bonda Ma Jacques x Yellow 7:

Bonda Mahala and Purple Thunder Yellow Caramel:

 

[PaulG]

Red Scotch Bonnets. Some of the large pods
have tiny little tails:

 
A look at the insides:

 

[PaulG]

More pods into the dehydrator:

Fatalis, Lemon Starburst, Yaki Blue Fawn, Yellow 7, BJBrown:

 

 

[PaulG]

Mojo Blue Ghost, Mini Red Rocotos, Mini Yellow Rocotos,
Aji Benito and Sugar Rush Cream seed pods:

 

[PaulG]

Can’t help taking another look at the rocotos:

There are quite a few Ecuador Reds And Tatian Yellows  
left on the plants, but two pods may be all I get from
the Peruvian Red, and maybe a few more XL Browns.
 

 
 
Introducing a new Edit:

 

[ahayastani]

I think you had a good night's sleep
 
Impressive!

 

[CaneDog]

I think you had a good night's sleep

 
Or maybe none at all recently!  That's a lot of processing. 
 
 
Really fantastic to see you with such great results, Paul.  After such a slow/ cool-weather start the season seemed a bit in jeopardy.  I'm happy to see your san pedro orange getting to the finish line.  Mine grew very slowly at first and I had concerns, but now it's a beautiful plant - I'll just have to work to extend its season to get ripe pods.
 
Interesting about the your orange spice jalapeño mutants.  Many (I think most) of the pods on my yellow spice jalapeño are doing the same thing right now in the second wave of pods, this despite that all the pods in the earlier wave were perfectly normal.

Great Harvest
