romy6 2014

 So I guess it is about damn time I started a grow log! Not a whole lot going on at the ranch  :shh:  but hopefully that will change soon. I grow peppers all year around outdoors. I live on the central east coast of Florida. It has many ups and downs but more ups  :fireball: . Bugs such as mites and aphids are always a problem for me. Over the years I am getting better at diagnosing them at a early stage . This Christmas I was lucky enough to have santa bring me an aerogarden and some how managed to make it's nesting place on my kitchen table. I know this is short lived and I will need to find a safer resting spot for it. Here is a pic of my outdoor operation. Most of these plants are between 8 months or older.

 They look very haggard at the present moment. Lack of sunlight and low humidity will do that. But come spring they better bounce back into action.  :dance:
 
 Here is my little indoor operation. It isn't much but keeps me happy and grows peppers super fast. I planted a 7 pot lava( judy) , borg9( tmudder), yaki blue( nigel via standbyandfire), true cumari ( from judy) , defcon 7 ( tmudder), choc naga x brain ( me,via winchicken, via tmudder), and parsley for the boy :)
 
 First to pop was the 7 pot lava. Few days later the defcon 7. Yaki and borg both popped with helmet heads and I managed to kill them trying to remove. I just added a few more seeds in each pouch .

That sure is a block-head looking Brain pod.........nice coloring on the Chocolate NagaBrain's....almost has that look of...."how could you leave that candybar on the hot dashboard....melted look to it".............gooey 
 
Hot hot are the green hornets ?
 
 Too funny Greg . You crack my chocolate loving ass up . The hornets too me have the heat of a mild hab . Hot enough but tasty for a mustard .

Always a nice update here!
 
Loving that chocolate pain!
 
Ally's catching up to Tebow in size, and I'm really glad they get along. We had a beautiful young female stray pit show up here Thursday night, I called the county to come and get her Saturday. The guy said he would have no problem finding her a home, which made me feel better about calling them. We already have 3 dogs that we have to board when we travel.
 
Have a great week!
 
 Thanks Scott . I could not imagine having to board 3 dogs . The price for that alone has too ste your pocket book back . I am lucky I have a good friend that comes over and takes care of my dogs and peppers when I am not home .

And finally busted into that Not Yaki Blue pod . I let it sit on the plant jsut to make sure the seeds were super mature and all that jazz . It ripened to a ruby red . Very nice looker

When I sliced this bad boy open I immediately got a pleasant smell of  green jalapeno . Had an excellent aroma . Was not pungent nor floral . Almost sweet . 
 
IMG_5401_zps63a8b112.jpg

 
Samples a piece right away . It also tasted like a jalapeno . If I closed my eyes I could have sworn it was . Very smooth and just plain goodness . Had a nice amount of heat though . I would say triple the heat of a Jal . All in all a great pepper that my wife and I hope to keep enjoying for a long time . Great to spicen up some squash .

I would also like to say thank you to Paul ( chili_freak ) for his ability to make excellent fermented sauces . This is a yellow sauce that is savory,sweet , and has the perfect kick .

man that looks like an ultra oily, super bumpy, choco ghost pod! the only question is: Is it tasty...................
Is it Scrumptious..................................?
only 4000 to catch you no prob I'll do that this weekend :liar:
funny you should say that, i was just thinking about when i met you on the GW when you found out about this site, 
and you told me" one of my buddies told me about this other site, i think it could be pretty cool!" within a week we were chatting here, that was 3 yrs ago this month! Ha look at us now! :hot:  :dance:  :fireball:  :hell:  :high:  :cheers:  :beer:
 
Looking good, my friend !!!!  I haven't tried squash much just the way I was raised I guess but seeing it in your food pic it looks good.  The peppers you sent are great !!!  I liked them all....lol     Have a good one  :cheers:
 
Devv said:
Some brown pain there fo sho!
 
Very nice looking pods. Do all the brown pods just slam the heat immediately? It sure seems that way!
 
 Thanks Scott . I would have to agree most if not all brown pheno's seem to be mo hotter  :hell:
 
maximumcapsicum said:
Seems like the brown pods take longer to ripen too... "Choc" full of capsaicin?
 
 Yes indeed A man !!! 
 
meatfreak said:
Nice pods and plants, Jamie. Also surprised by that review of the Not Yaki Blue. A Chinense with an Jalapeno taste, very interesting! Good chance it has crossed with a Jal :) Have a good weekend!
 
 I thought that would get your attention Stefan :) I will save ya some seeds . Now why did your team have to beat up on mi esposa 's  team :)

 You don't know what you're missing Mike. Glad you are enjoying the heat .

Jamie the pods are delicious! I was surprised how much I like that green hornet! What is the lineage of that one? They sure are tasty!
 
 Me too . I usually am not a big fan of green pods other than  Jal's . The green hornet is a cross I received from seeds labeled jays red scorps . The person who sent them to me has no idea what is crossed with .  We may never know :)
 
 Was a great weekend at the romy6 pepper patch . Finally had a chance to try the barrackpore X choc scorp . Producing very large pods . 
 
IMG_5421_zps2181a4c4.jpg

 
When I cut this badboy open I could see I was in for some pain. The oils were thick and the distinct 7 pod odor was among us . Lots of seeds lined the thick placenta of this guy 
 
IMG_5425_zpseb5c9f99.jpg

 
 The flavor was good but had a little hint of deep chinense . More floral than sweet but it was not overbearing and could easily be  removed with  drying or cooking . The heat was strong but nothing like I expected . Burn lasted about 10 minutes mainly in the tip of tongue and sides of mouth . Great pepper for sauces . \

Decided to try another Lava pod last night after sampling the Barrackpore x choc scorp. It did not seem that hot so I wanted to make sure it wasn't me . Well that was a  mistake . The Lava lived up to it's name once again . Sweet flavor that was quickly overtaken by pain and sorrow . Eyes watering , mouth lips and gums were on fire . Put me right back in my place .  :shh:
The lava pod

Rocoto just flowers too hot for pods I guess :)

Ii wonder was he growing 7 pot evergreen, or green scorpions near his jays red, because those are the only two peppers in my albeit limited experience that ripen to green.
