If that means you stomping superhots with bare feet, make sure to put a video here

Don't know which would be worse, walking across crushed chiles or having toasted tootsies???

Hey, Dan. Awesome isn't a big enough word for your grow, my friend!
Outstanding varieties, quantities and products well displayed :clap:

Glad to see you have had a banner season. And it's you deseeding
all those pods :lol:

RedtailForester · Oct 10, 2013

Luckily I don't have to deseed my Bhuts. Only the varieties that I use for our jams, mustard and relish are the ones that get their seeds removed.

That's a lot of peppers

How did the Madame Jeanette perform for you, Dan?

Today marks the end of our 2013 growing season! We had a light frost this morning and are expecting colder weather tomorrow morning. All pods are harvested and ready for processing.

Here's a couple shots for the end of the season!

LARGE Red Rocoto

A ton of tepins!

A few more Reapers hanging on...

Lots of Peach Habaneros were hiding

We are about to go ROCOTO LOCO!!!

Just our leftover Bhuts & Nagas

Still not sure what the heck these are....

Our garden protector!

The final haul

Killer harvest Red, oh just look at all those balls of fire... This year didnt have a tepin growing but im hoping to next year...

Spicegeist · Oct 21, 2013

I like the looks of those bhuts. You're right about the chiltepins in your earlier post... I've been spending some time lately picking a bunch of tiny pods too.

Oops, sorry mate. I forgot to post pictures. Are Madame Jeannette nearly identical to Cili Goronong or did I get my seeds mixed up somehow?

Even if I wasn't making a product with them now, having a chiltepin in my grow list is a must!!!

Tepins are a labor of love and SOOOOOOOO worth the time to pick them!

Looks like you've had a great growing season, and what a final haul you got too.......its cold here, and calling for snow, so my growing season ended a couple weeks ago.

Again....great job!

They look very similar indeed, but should be a bit bigger and less wrinkly then the Cili Goronong.

Last but not least, I grabbed a bucket and picked the last remaining plant...
