I would call your "wild" season a huge success @PaulG . Congratulations!

Here she should bring cool and wet, but has surprised with hot and dry

 

[MarcV]

Did these dry on the plant?

edit... probably not, didn't see the pictures with the dehydrator yet...

 

[talas]

Everypod a victory indeed and some lovely variety there.

I am going to let the latest season pods stay on some of the
plants this winter and see if the birds will eat them.

Too bad we can't just average out our two climates,
we'd have perfect weather year around!

Thanks, T. It has been a blast growing the wilds this season.
Going to OW a half-dozen or so in 3-gallon pots, and am
starting to pick varieties to grow from seed as we speak.
When All the bagged pods are in a pile together, it's an
impressive sight!

Thanks, DR. I am happy with the way things turned out.
I learned that starting them from seed on Feb. 1 is too
late for decent harvests from the preatermissums before
Fall sets in in earnest.

 

[PaulG]

Got a surprising amount of Yellow Pequin yesterday.
Along with the last of the Aji Strawberry Drop.

Still holding out for some more Cappuccino Chiltepin.
Some nights close to 50˚F so there is hope. No freezing
temps for the near future.

 

[PaulG]

Some outdoor berries getting ready to fall off the bush,
so picked a few of the mostly ripe ones.

Not as red as I’d like, but detached from the calyx very easily.

Same with these, would like a darker brown, but I
figured mostly ripe is better than no berries!

Along with the last of the Aji Strawberry Drop

That's a plant that just didn't want to succeed in my garden... Same for Lemon Drop.

Mine was a slow starter, really struggled through
Spring and early Summer, then finally picked up
the pace and started producing fruit.

 

[PaulG]

Yellow Pequin and Capuccinno Chiltepin still
gots the inner fire burnin’! Blue Mystery picked
because they were falling off.

Into the dehydrator…

 

[talas]

Small but perfectly formed and lovely pods to with loads of flavor and heat keep them coming buddy.

 

[PaulG]

Hey, @talas, you are right about the heat. The Capucinno Chiltepins
have a quick-hitting heat, and a ton of seeds. As with most brown
pods, nice flavor in the powder.

I think there can only be a few more of these pods coming in.
There will be a few more Cumari praetermissum, Chiltepin Rojo,
Cumari Pollux, and Seguin pods to grab before the freeze,
whenever that is.

 

[talas]

Looks like end of November here for snow and a big freeze I hope your weather holds on a lot longer.
A nice collection of wilds and pubescens to finish on is a lovely and tasty place to be.
You've had a great year Paul.

Shhhush, I don't want my plants to know.

@PaulG I've added those Cappuccino Chiltepin to my grow list for next year, already had seeds. What's your overall verdict on it?
