That's one I have to try then. They certainly look nice!

Nice looking Beth Boyds Paul. I grew your seeds last year and really enjoyed them. I have it penciled in again for 2022. Thanks again for sharing the seeds!

@MarcV - Good luck dialing in the Scotch bonnet part
of your grow next season. Climate here makes growing
bonnets a bit difficult sometimes, but always worth a try.
I'd be happy to send a few Beth boyd seeds if you like.

@talas - Sounds like you spent some time in the western
hemisphere. Only pepper I grew 'from the source' was a
Roatan Pumpkin. The guy we got them from called them
'mountain peppers'. Was a great producer after growing for
a couple of seasons to get a climate-tolerating variety.

@DownRiver - Glad you had success with the Beth Boyd
bonnets, DR. I have grown a sporadicly successful MoA
or TFM once in a while, but the Beth Boyds seem to grow
well in our climate here in the PNW. In a good year, the
TFM will do okay.

I actually have beth boyd seeds in my collection

so I'm ready to go!
Actually my bonnets did surprisingly well even though we didn't exactly had a great summer. There was a lot of rain and cool weather. But september was dry and reasonably warm so maybe that's what did the trick...

I wonder... Is beth boyd actually the same variety as foodarama?

It was only help of my brother who is a great grower and has an eye and ear to listen and met some Jamaican growers who told him about the scotch bonnets back in the 80s and he'd buy a few boxes every few months make his own sauce and spread the word he's sadly not well now but things like this post will hopefully make him smile.

Getting in some ripe pods before another
round of showery days rolls in.

Some JA Red Habanero crosses.

A ton of Yellow Scorpions on the plant, lots of nice
phenotypes, almost all the pods, in fact. This is
probably around ten or twenty percent of the pods.

PaulG · Sep 27, 2021

Some Yaki Blue Fawn pods. A few from the big plant and the 3-gallon plant.

These pointy bad boys from the pointy half of
the big plant. Still lots more close to ripe.

It's going to be a hot time in Mr Paul's house in the months to come and with quality like that sir your labors have indeed been fruitful.

My main problem is my chili head friends have mostly
moved and I have no one to share the pods with. I can
make only so much powder!

PaulG · Sep 28, 2021

First real pull of Fatalis. Still at least this many more on the plant.

All these three-inch pods will be dried for seeds.

Seed for these came from @CaneDog via the 2019 seed train.

MarcV · Sep 29, 2021

Those are beautiful pods!

talas · Sep 29, 2021

Lovely examples of Fataliis @Paul @CaneDog seem some poor ones in other grows but they are spot on lovely.

Datil · Sep 29, 2021

It seems like a bountiful season Paul!
Excellent job, all pods look perfect :woohoo:

Beatiful color one these. And especially love the shape on the top group.

PaulG · Sep 29, 2021

@MarcV - Thanks, friend. This is definitely one of
the best Fatali seasons since the first year I grew
them in 2012.

@JJJessee - The Yakis are awesome plants, large
and in charge! I have only grown them since the
2020 season, but really impressed with their pro-
duction and great phenotype. Even the pointy off
pheno ones! I'm saving some seeds for ya, buddy!

@Datil - Thanks, mio amico! It has been a good season
all around. A few 'fails' as usual, but for the most part
the unusual hot weather spurred some great pod formation,
especially in the c. chinense department. Did you decide
to powder those dried chinenses? Watch out for those
Brainstrains - they look like heat on wheels.

tsurrie · Sep 30, 2021

Very good looking Fataliis Paul and of course every other pods as well.
Congrats!

PaulG · Sep 30, 2021

Thanks, @tsurrie - Have been fortunate this season for the most part.

Mildfruit · Oct 11, 2021

Love those bonnets Paul! Really great pheno

Looking over your golf got major catch up to do but it looks awesome has always Paul.
The green house plants are hanging on those aphids cat keep them down
your Jamaican Red Hab is growing with a low bush growth habitat with big wrinkle leaves .
Is that how they normally are ?

PaulG · Oct 12, 2021

@Mildfruit - thanks, my friend. I don’t usually get great
bonnet phenotypes, but this year produced quite a few
of both Papa Dreadie and Beth Boyd.

@Plantguy76 - hey, buddy! The JA Red Habaneros are
usually on the smaller side, even in a #15 nursery pot.
They usually are pretty productive however, even in a
smaller pot like a 2 or 3-gallon. The leaves are typical
chinense size, start out large, but eventually ‘slim down’.
