Great looking harvest, eating good in the neighborhood. All your peppers always look so fresh and blemish free. I always get a few soft early pods but this year I'm getting attacked by birds eating my peppers. It all started with the pequins, so bad move planting pequins because it way a gateway pepper for all the birds in my yard. I have a soft air bb gun but can only do so much. Nice looking chiles SS.

Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.

Appreciated everyone.
I removed the seeds from some pods yesterday and didn't notice that one glove had a nick in the thumb. My thumb is still glowing a little today, but yesterday it was

Thanks, the garden is 85 x 37 feet. The peppers have 2 full rows and a little over half of another, but less than half are doing well due to my poor judgment on the irrigation system. Tomatoes and peas have 30 feet each, squash failed and never got enough foliage to shield it from the plastic's heat, but I was using old seed so not sure what happened there cause squash has never been a problem to grow. I also tried planting a row of Chick peas that failed, too hot! Cukes got 2 20 foot rows and corn 4 35 foot rows. Okra got 2 full 85 foot rows hoping that it would help as a wind break and I'm buried in okra this season.
Thanks Cappy, no bird problem here, but a few pods on my Lemon Drop have the ends nibbled off by what I believe to be field mice. The plant is overloaded and has its branches resting on the wheat straw making it easy for the mice to snack on a few, but the few they get aren't missed. The Marigolds in the garden produce a strong foul odor that probably helps keeping many critters at bay and I'll bet a tea made from their leaves would make a fine bug repellent spray.
Thanks P, but I'm not that loony YET.

Great guy 
Thanks for the combination of names with the images, I saved the images in an Excel spreasheet with corresponding letters and names beside them.
I will use as a database for identification of peppers in the future will be adding the corresponding flowers for each one.
Take care

Thats what I wanted to know.
WOW!!! Im sure your life expectency has dropped drastically with all of the hard labor it takes to pick all of those. Especially in the heart of dixie with all of the humidity and heat.
Thanks all.
Garrett, I try to get the harvest started around daybreak while its still fairly cool (about 5:30), but I still can't beat the sun before finishing. Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. Besides, chile peppers are one of the most healthy foods you can consume and a little work never hurt anyone.
