Thanks for posting the pics...love the smiley face. Oh my! 300 plants - you are going to be busy. I sure hope my hubby doesn't read this post...he will be wanting to increase his plant numbers (he doesn't enjoy being outdone!).

Hell I already conceded that on here, I am gonna lose. Way smarter growers and then ya have people like AJ that grow like 4,000,000 plants

My Primo and Barrackpore 7's are still only 8" tall but from all the pictures I have seen posted by Chris and others, your huge 7 Primo's look a lot like Barrackpores. I thought I remember you said you got your seeds for Moby Dick from Chris? Did he also give you the primo seeds too? All the Primo's I have seen are tiny. I was reluctant to grow the primo this year because it was so small but the cool tail Chris's strain convinced me to give them a try even though they are small. The pod with the missing tag looks a lot like a tree habanero.

Just went and looked at the Primos they came from Chris. The Barrackpores look similar but they have a definate sting on the tail. I will get some pics later.

Your welcome Yeah I know I'm going to be busy. last year I had 6000 in the ground but it was only 3 varieties and I reckon that was easier than what Ive got to look forward to this season.

yes thanks Marc, those yellow Jonahs are sweeeeet :mouthonfire:

I've got some of my f3 hybrids just starting to ripen up now
Bhut Jolokia chocolate x 7pot/pod yellow, they're looking like huge caramel coloured Bhuts all about 125mm/5in long
over the last 3 years the colour has stayed the same, the heat also but the size seems to increase :dance:

Good looking chillies you got there Sandgroper.

Sorry buddy I missed commenting before. Thanks mate for the compliments.

Great looking pods, those unknowns look like the Hot Paper Lantern Habs I was buying at the farmers market last year.

Pepper Ridge Farm · Mar 31, 2011

Nice colorful selection of pods, really like when you get a suprise like that yellow Jonahs. Accidental crosses are just going to happen and mostly you get red pods, nice suprise. Don't expect saved seed to produce peppers that look the same.

Thanks, I will save as many as possible and share a few around and see what happens over the next few generations. Have you noticed how many types are getting the Brain Strain look, all wrinkly and gnarly. Chillies were mostly smooth until a few short years ago. Have you had any more interesting Xs lately.

Yeah cool I think your right. I ate one and it was warm not superhot bit like a milder red habA lip burn. I just got a torch(flashlight) and we outside into the other garden and studied the tagged Hot paper lanterns and they look pretty similar.. Now just wait for the tagged oes to ripen and taste one to confirn.
Thanks foe that.

Wrinkly pods are almost all 7 Pods of some kind or another, I have a Brown Scorpion cross hybrid that was supposed to ripen red I'm working on.

Your all welcome to pop over and share the spoils.

Whoa I feel a beach trip coming on... :^ )

Looking very good Marc. Your red thumb is really showing bro! How much longer do you have to go before it's time to call it a season?

Keep up the great work man.
