Lovely micros Paul we've had the problem with Squirrels although it hast been a Extra hot summer here we haven't had much rain and I've noticed young squirrels eating anything which we haven't had before.
Well at least those micros will be delicious soon enough.🙂

I think you are right, talas. Maybe there is a case
of mass psychosis in the squirrel community.

Hoping I can get these to the table…
 
Padrons are just great peppers and understimated by many growers till they try some there all-round use and taste changes people's minds quickly,my daughter's favourite she grows at least 4 plants every year.🙂

Lol yep Many years ago my brother invited me for a BBQ and he was flaming some jals and padrons I'd had a few green ones with no heat before but I noticed he had kept the red ones for me and yes i had a bit of a shock to say the least.😳

:eek: caught me by surprise the first time I tried one, as well :rofl:
 
The Chili Costa Rica has had a strange year. First, the
growth tips would set a bunch of pods, then the new
branches would grow up around the pods. Also, the
pods are conical and orange instead of round and red.
I used the same seed from THSC as last year, so it's not
a cross from my grow.

I'm not complaining, it was still an awesome ornamental.
Hard to resist growing one every season.

A little walk on the yellow side…

Bath Boyd Scotch Bonnets. Some decent pods
ripening up. Lots more on the plant.

Still waiting for the gnarlier Fatalis to ripen, but these aren’t
too bad. Many pods mostly ripe still on the plant, and lots of
green ones.

Color looks like a sun dried cayenne what's the taste like?
 
Yaki blue fawn look wonderful Paul with there consistant shape and bonnets are great to have for the flavor and Tasi blacks are one of my brother's favourite chilli's.
Fatalis look great buddy and all I can see when I look at your grow this year is flavor yum.🙂

my taste buds suck, but I think they are a little bit
sweetish, maybe a hint of smokey back end, but I
may be totally wrong. Around Cayenne or a little
better heat.

Sounds like it might make a great powder!

Excellent round of pod pickin Paul!

Great suggestion, @talas. I'll throw a few in the dehydrator.

It has been a good season for bonnets, for the PNW. The warm
nights really kicked the chinenses in gear. Of course, the wild
preatermissums are still flowering and setting pods. I've never
seen such long-winded plants! It would be cool if they would
ripen a bit faster.
 
Nice looking pods there Paul. I especially like the Beth Boyds and the Fatalii's! I grew some seeds that I saved from last years "red" Beth Boyd's. (see my avatar) This year they were all yellow. They have let me down twice now. Last year I was expecting them to be yellow like Beth Boyds are supposed to be, but I came to like the pretty red color and taste. This year I was expecting them to be red and well........they were yellow! I wonder what next year will bring?
No fatalii's for me this time but maybe next year. I had a bumper crop of orange habanero's this season and I tell you it's hard to beat them. I have many jars fermenting in the cabinet!
