I'm not quite done with the 2018 glog yet, but thought I'd get started on the new year's effort. I'll update the grow list in my profile soon and probably post it here, too.
Mainly, this morning, I wanted a place to stick links to some PDFs I (finally) found (again). These are technical documents from CARDI that some may find interesting (3.52 MB and 1.82 MB, respectively):
http://www.cardi.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Hot-Pepper-Production-Manual-for-Trinidad-and-Tobago-2011-reprint.pdf
http://www.cardi.org/wp-content/uploads/downloads/2013/02/Cbbean-hot-pepper-production-post-harvest-manual.pdf
They both contain a lot of good detailed information, but that's not primarily why I post the links. I'm not trying to start an argument (discussion is fine), but I prefer "7 pod" to "7 pot". These two documents support that usage. I found more that support the alternative... tomāto, tomahto.
One of my goals this year is to scale up production. Now that I have access to commercial scale processing facilities, a good relationship with the local Food Science department, and life in general looks to be a little bit less of a PITA (knock on wood), the timing seems right.
I'm also planning my first ever intentional breeding effort. Not that someone else hasn't attempted what I have in mind, but I haven't come across the idea before. Stay tuned for details.
And since a bit of color never hurts, here's a Papa Dreadie from last year, pic taken 180727:
