Thanks

3 Nagas (one 2nd year), 3 Fatalii, 2 Habs (one 2nd year) and 2 Datil. 2nd year Datil is still blooming and growing pods, but no ripe ones this time. So 10 plants picked this round.
 
:shocked: *scuttles off to hide his puny pile of chillies in shame...

Great looking pods, what are your plans for them:?:

Do you find your 2nd year plants being MORE productive than the others? I have a long grow season in so-cal and was considering putting in a shelf in the garage and overwintering some of my larger plants instead of growing the same variety from seed next year. Since it doesn't get too cold I figure the plant would be ok on a shelf in the garage for a few months.

Thanks Lally. Since the dehydrator is currently occupied I think I'll make some more puree concentrate and a few jars of my hen grenades.

Yes, they are definitely more productive and will give you ripe pods much earlier in the season too. Good luck with your overwintering project and keep an eye out for aphids and spider mites once you bring them indoors.
