romy6 2013

Well 2012 is old news so time to push onward. It was a great year for me pepperwise. If you did not get a chance to follow me last year and would like to check it out here is the link http://thehotpepper.com/topic/27252-romy6-2012/. It will save me from explaining my grow and being redundant. I am an outdoor grower only from start to finish. I try to keep my aphid /bug colonies to a minimum while batteling the temps as while growing in east central Florida. I plan on growing many other new varieties in a few months so keep an eye out. Until then I wish a great grow for all and look forward to following all of your grows. After fighting off the tequilla hangover this moring I managed to stumble along and pick my first harvest of the new year. Some yellow 7's, yellow scorps, yellw scotch bonnets with a tail, hybrid bhut, not douglah, mystery annums, choc hab , cho bhut bhut and a choc bhut x yellow 7 f3. Winter pods are always a little funky looking IMHO :rolleyes:

:dance: Happy New Year :dance:

 Can't wait for October!!! :party:
  That is just sorry old Florida sand. Not the best medium for peppers but I keep adding compost :)  :party:
 I'm in the same boat Bro, sand and heat, meaning water and more water. Came home to wilted babies this afternoon.
 
I'll be having some good old black gumbo hauled in this winter.

  My in ground plants seem to hold up pretty well. I have enough stuff worked into the soil I guess.Plus we have been getting a shat load of rain. Container plants, whole nother story.  ;)

Looking great man, and good review of the reaper.  Interesting that it wasn't as hot as expected.  I have had my suspicions, but we shall see.  AND, your Douglah is pretty gnarly!
 
 Thanks Matty Moo :drooling:  I am one that thinks any red or brown  7 pot or scorpion can be a contender if it is under enough stress and the heat is on. I will send you a July pod and I am betting it will be much hotter. Thanks , the douglah plant I have is hotter than the reaper as of now  :shh:

I kid a bit...fo-real that Birgy is starting to step up! You'll be a contender...hope you gave me enough of a head start!
 
 
 Oh I know my birgy is small but just wait till October when I need a 12 foot piece oe rebar to hold that baby up  :party:  Thanks brother man !
 
 
 A few random pod picks from yesterday. 
 
Barrackpores is starting to put out some big nasty pods. It seems to love the extra heat  :hot:

 Thanks for looking. Who doesn't love crock pot roast with Kevins Douglah dance  :dance:

Dang, Jamie. You and Shane and Surfer do have to get some kinda communal thang going on with brotha Bill. Kevin can supply "growth stimulants," you and he can do powder recipes, Bill instructing on sauces, and ya'll can charge admission to "rides." If you need a manager . . .
 
Been working at syllabus for my rising seniors; thus, the MIA. And dang--that sauce pic got me--wondering how it would work to smoke them a little and then grind; but neva mind. 40 <> days is not a lot. Not with THAT crop. :P Please wait: gonna be guuuud stuff!
 
This is a simply gorgeous grow!! :dance: Mr. Douglah got my aTTEN-HUHT! Praises to Jah for the fire ants. Now, I wanna know what strain that Peruvian Serrano is (from Kevin). Thanks for review on Reaper. I doubt it can be hotter than your Douglah but also think your Douglah is tasty. CARDI is pretty too, Gatabait! ;)
 
Sad to say, but if you want to see a pitcher, 8 pm EST (he'll probably come in tonight for Brad Stone against The Heels), watch NCSUx pitcher, Carlos Rodon. I hate to say it, really hate to say it, but most MLB teams would start Rodon now. (He's that good.) Gonna have some of your remaining powder doused on an omelet to ease the pain. After that if I just eat some thawed pods, should have an enough of an endorphin rush enough to withstand Rodon again. Damnit.
 
Might start making some sauce too from those frozen pods. Just blend 'em all up together for a gallon with the extras for sugar to play with whey. Thanks for inspiration, Jamie-pod maestro! (And thank ya, Brotha Bill!) Dang Jamie, super-pod envy and happy for ya. I'm with Kev on table but if it melts, have it ground, and sell as active ingredient in thermo-heat pads. :lol:

Beautiful pods and food Jamie!
 
 Thank you sir Mike.  Now to find a nice Dragonfly to photo:-)

Gnarly pods brother...even your "regular" peppers look gnarly! You gonna eat that whole bowl yourself???
 
 
 You don't stay fat by eating half portions my brotha!!! Thank you for the compliments  :fireball:
 
Devv said:
Pods are looking good!
 
What's a SBJ7 ? It looks mean as does the Reaper.
 
I agree with the crock roast!
 
 Scotty, that is a Scotch Bonnet X Jonah 7. Patrick is the maker of that pepper. One of the nastiest looking tastiest supers around. Here is a thread if you want to know more about it.

 Oh Mrs Annie you are too smart for our own good. Nice of you to put me up there with SS and Shane but I am just a good old boy who has a much wider window to grow than most  :fireball: Well funny you mention the ferment. I don't think it is gonna make it. Look'd last night and there is some nasty white stuff at the top. Spoke with wild Bill and his response was not good. Might just stick to the old boil and bottle technique like you mentioned.  I will get ya some fresh pods and powder out soon. Keep an eye on the mailbox:) As for baseball I quit watching when my Gators got knocked out.  ;)
 
 
 Now for those whom have never had the fortune to try one of Mami's ( my inlaw) tamales. Put it on your bucket list. Words cannot describe the love. Now if I could just get the recipe ( @ Rick Stickman  :shh::drooling:  Momma brought a bucket full  home last night and I ate way too many!!! :party:

Those are some scary pods....
 
Can't beat homemade tamales......no matter what they're filled with
 
Friday nights here in the Latino communities there's a layer of Masa scent throughout the air. Saturday morning is the day to hit the mkts for the fresh one's.
 
That is, unless ya got the big ole stock pot steamer on der stove..............Friday night !

Read up on the SBJ7 very interesting! And like I said earlier cool looking pods.
 
Ahhhh Tamales! The wife and a very good family friend make 50 or 60 dozen every fall. They make pork, venison, and bean tamales. Lots of meat and sauce like the ones in the pic above. I have the recipes in the shop somewhere and would be happy to look for them if anyone wants them. It's a ton of work though!
 
Sorry Matt just ate the last one . Sooooooooooooooo damn gooooooooood :shh:  

stickman said:
Holy Cow, first up... crock roast with Douglahs and then tu suegra's tamales! Dude, you know how to roll! I'm still hoping for the recipe someday. :drooling:

 Thank brother Rick. I will get that recipe if it is the last thing I do. Shit my kids know more than I do about it. They stay withh her all day and help her make it.

 Brother Greg, I am lucky enough to just have them brought to me by the family. Tamales are a chiliheads best friend for shizzy.  I would love to hear your recipe cook grow and pic master!!!

 Scotty . Beam us up the recipe. I know it takes my mother in law about 24 hours to make her tamales. Just making the Mole alone is a major job in itself. I have SBJ7 seeds if you are interested in growing . They are OP but seeds from A type pods as Ramon would say  ;)
 
 
 Just would like to give a shout out to Mike ( Barleypop57) for sending me the hottest, most succulent  jerky I have ever laid my salivary glands on. I bow to the Jerky Master. This stuff is almost has the consistency of a nice sirloin steak with enough heat to burn your ass in the am. Just sent me a  boat load of it last night. 
 
 Thank you sir
