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

Happy New Year

Great idea with the boxes, do you dry the garlic as well??

 

[capsidadburn]

 The garlic came from Devan( FreeportBum ) . He said I could dry it just like my peppers. Si that is what i am doing. I have a feeling they will take longer than the peppers though . Anyone know how long it takes garlic to dry at 105 degrees?

 Thanks Mike. This is a very generous community I am very lucky to be apart of. 
 

You got more then enough heat going for you, Jamie Making some hot sauce of all the pods? It's funny, you want summer to end and we don't want it to end How's it going with your Jal's, any survivors after the hot summer?

 
 Yep Stefan, different strokes for different folks. I only have one Jalapeno left. It is really struggling with the heat. If I can milk it another month i have a feeling it will prosper. I am making a garlic pepper powder
 

Nice haul on the SFRB's!
 
Can't beat the THP peeps!
 
Have a great week!

 
Thank you Scotty. Great bunch for sure 
 

Awesome pod gifts, great pics and you say "not much going on at romy6 pavilion," lol. There's always something shaking at your place and the heat looks incredible. Great to read your plants are kicking into higher gear, mine have had a boost as well with the last few days of rain, starting to see some flowers ... hope these next pods are bigga, the last harvest for me was embarrassing. Have a great week brethren!  [SIZE=12pt] [/SIZE]

 
 Well Ray compared to some nothing much. But I guess I am never spiced challenged  Yep the pods have been small and the flower drop large. But that is all changing with the nice weather headed our way  Amen

Hey Jamie everything looks great, just dry the garlic until it's not sticky anymore and snaps when you bend a slice. I slice and dehydrate almost 50 heads of garlic here. After it's dry I leave it sliced and turn it into powder when I am ready to use it. But even after it is run through the grinder it will keep great flavor for a long time.  all the best

The pirate speaks,"Ahoy brethren Jamie … nice giftage from Devan! Hope you guys had an awesome pirates day! Arrrr!"

 

[Devv]

Never though about drying garlic. My whole crop went south when we went on vacation.
 
Another lesson learned!

 

[RocketMan]

JAMIE, my Brother, how's it going way up north there 
 
Nope, I'm not gone just been working my arse off. It's really kicked my time on here to the pavement too. Now if I want to check the Glogs I have to read them on the IPhone so I can see the pics and then I can use my puter to post comments but if I want to post a pic it's back to the IPhone, phew! Man, those are some Bodacious pods you got there and those Jays peach Pods look beautiful and dude, what a great gift from Buddy. I'll be PMing you this weekend to see about setting up a pow-wow at the new launch pad. Hoping the new Garlic sauce will be ready by then so you can get a taste of it.
 
Take care Brethren and hey, IT'S FRIDAY EVE!!!

 Thanks Dev. The garlic is taking forever to dry but I think it will be ready to grind this weekend. Next time I will cut it into smaller pieces.

 Brother Bill. So nice to hear from you . I feel ya on no time for blogging. Between coaching my sons baseball team ( what was I thinking  ) and daughter joining a dance club I don'y know what day or time it is. 
 
  Amazing package of joy from Annie. Beautiful giant tasty orange thai's 
 
Thank you Annie
 

 
 And have not checked on the garden in a week   Rained everyday for 5 days. Found a nice surprise. New perfectly ripe white 7 pods. A plant that has been dodging my efforts to grow for way too long 
 
 

 
 And madballz plant is dialed in. 
 

 
 Happy sailing my brethrens. Keep it hot and spicy and have a great weekend. It was a double god morning

I forgot to mention I picked up some nice small pumpkins yesterday and I have a nice collection of Douglahs. So, I'm thinking that I might just make this years Flaming Pumpkin a Douglah sauce. Well, half of it anyways, I'd need another good pound or so of Douglahs so make a full batch. Plus I have enough pepper love in the Freezer to get a batch of Rocket Fuel going too
 
Happy Days are coming, cue Music, " Sunday, Monday Happy Days......"

 

[Devv]

Glad to see things perking up!
 
I'm actually starting to see some of the supers do what they are supposed to, hopefully this was the last of the mid 90's...96° yesterday!

 

[capsidadburn]

Madballs looks great Jamie!

 

[Pulpiteer]

Oh wow! Whew!! A double Rainbow!!! Double Rainbow all the way!!! Whew!!

 

[annie57]

Madballs looks great Jamie!

 
Amen, Mike! "Madballz dialed in." Music to my ears.
 
Breathtaking double rainbow!
 
So welcome on the OT, Jamie!

 

[Barley-pop57]

Jamie,  I had to check in and get my daily dose of your good fortune   and see what's for supper.  Seriously though, keep up the good work and con't good luck amigo.

[Jamison]

MadBallz beasting out eh? Them white 7's look cool. Have a good weekend Jamie!

 

[stickman]

Hi Jamie, those are some nice looking Orange Thais you got from Annie... how do they taste? I got some seeds for them this spring, but had so much going on already that I never ended up planting them.
 
Good catch with the double rainbow pic, and your back yard is looking a lot more lush now that the rain has come back. Cheers guy!

Looking like might be next Friday. I'll double check with the CPO, Cheif Partay Officer and make sure so don't make any plans till I PM you. Well unless plans are already made, you know.

Why yes, yes I did use Pumpkin and Douglah I'm the same sentence.

 

[WalkGood]

Jamie, dem OJ Thai’s look super, hats off to Annie \o_
 
Hope all that rain was beneficial, I kept seeing it on net radar but not as much hit us down south, it was very light for us but very needed. Nice looking 7s, do the Whites ripen yellow or are they “not’s?” Great to read your Madballz is setting up to deliver and I have one question, how did you know I was going sailing
 
Have a great day & week brethren!

 The orange Thais are amazing Rick. Annie is the bomb. Much like a normal Thai only sweeter and more better. Made a tasty salsa with some yesterday. Everyone loved it. Pics to follow.

 The Thais are amazing. I highly recommend you grow some. I know I will be. They are also HUGE.  
 
White 7's are a little on the yellow side. But still love them for taste and over productivity. I will send ya a few and you can be the judge. 
 
Lucky guess on the sailing brother 
 
 So sorry ass photobucket appears to be working again. So here ya go!!!
 
Mike the Sepia Serpent looks nasty. Very true for a F3 
 

 
The 7 pod white 
 

 
 Yellow Jonah's. Soon I will sample . Pods look really cool
 

 

 
 
The Pubes are growing fast 
 
Red Rocoto
 

 
Manzano
 

 
 And purple bhut X viper is starting to take off. Love this plant
 

 
 And made some tasty salsa for the Gator game. It was devoured fast. Orange Thais were a hit. 
 

 

 
Have a great Sunday all. And a fast week ahead
