When I saw these stamps from Panama in the
mail, I knew I was in for a treat:

 
Glen has been busy advancing the Purple Thunder line!
Sent a nice assortment of F5 and F6 seeds:

 
 
 
“A lot of my friends have flown South!”

 

[PaulG]

Good look at what happens to those Rockwool cubes
once they are out of sight:

 

[Siv]

Paul, I see you mix you peppers in the dehy trays - do you blend them all together or somehow track and keep them separate?
 
I've also been drying and try and keep then separate but always end up forgetting which is which.

I've also been drying and try and keep then separate but always end up forgetting which is which. I feel your pain, Siv.

I store them separate after drying. I just make
sure I don't put ones that are too similar in the
same trays. If I think there might be a confusion,
I put a little slip of paper under the pods identifying
them. Any blending I do takes place after pods
are ground into powder.

The most ripe Orange Spice Jalapeño from the 
plant hanging in the garage. A fair number of
seeds which came off the placenta easily. I have
hopes they are viable:

 I can almost taste that os jalapeno.   the lemon spice I grew this year was incredible.

Going to make a refrigerator pickle with these.

Tough to focus but these are Rocopica Brown.
Getting picked today:

 

Pods in the little bag seem to be more ripe.

 

[PaulG]

A little time in the greenhouse did the Yellow
Mushroom good. Pods much firmer and color
A bit darker:

 

 

[PaulG]

Still getting a ripe micro tomato now and then:

 
Getting some nice color on the last remaining
Variegated Jalapeño in the garage:

 

[PaulG]

Black Prince hanging in the garage is starting
to show ripe colors and some pods starting to
shrivel and dry up:

 
Picked some more Amarillo Chiltepin from the
greenhouse plant:

 

[PaulG]

New growth on the trimmed c. chacoense v Exile:

 
The Rocopica Brown:

 
 
My idea is to take these into the garage after pod-drying
is over. Right now, letting them adjust to their pruned
back shape. will let new growth come out, then trim them
back when I put them in smaller pots.

They’re so great like that. I can’t make enough of them. Lol

 

[PaulG]

Last pod from the garage Variiegated Jalapeño.
Orange with red variegations:

 
Quite a few decent-looking seeds in this little pod:

 

 

[PaulG]

Letting these air dry in the garage:

The dried Yellow Pequin pods almost look like Corn Nuts:

 

 

[BDASPNY]

WOW that's an amazing amount of seeds in the pod.

 

[PaulG]

WOW that's an amazing amount of seeds in the pod.

Yeah, not bad for a small pod!
 
Really looking forward to growing
out some of these next season.

 

[PaulG]

Fall in full swing here.
Buttoned down for the winter:

 

[PaulG]

Time to pull these out of the greenhouse and
into the garage for taking off the pods. Will let
them go dormant for the winter.


BB Habanero:

 
Chiltepin Rojo:

 

[BDASPNY]

those are beautiful but man oh man do I hate picking hundreds of tiny pods. 
 
how do those tiny habanero taste?
