Everything at Casa de Stickman looks great, you are heading for a banner year my friend ^_^

Rick,
All looks good!
Yeah, the older camera's are a little more finicky, I've been struggling with my 10 year old D60 all season. It's great for portraits but no good on close ups..focus wants to keep focusing..maybe old aga shake..LOL
I'm getting pretty frustrated with this Vivitar digital camera that I'm using as backup. The d@#& thing cuts out for no reason I can see, and will only turn back on if I hold down the power button continuously or pull the batteries and wait at least 20 minutes before re-inserting them. I wonder if it has anything to do with the humidity... it's pretty thick here now.

I am glad you solved the mystery for me. I have been growing hungarion wax peppers and stuffing them. Next year I'll grow both and compare. My first year growing my pimiento pepper and it did not make it this year. I got some purple seeds from kingdenniz last year but I could not get them to germinate. I would like some Peruvian purple seeds if you a offering. Thanks
Hi Jeff,
Hope the hops are growing well for you... the parent vine I took the root cuttings from is up to the eaves of my Mom's 2-story barn, curled around and trying to grow up the sheet metal roof! Definitely grow Almapaprika! It should do well in Jersey. The Peruvian Purple still has a little bit to go until it fully ripens, but when it does you're welcome to some seeds.

Everything ship-shape, Rick! Lots of great color going on.
The red Omnicolors look great. You have amped up the heat
considerably for this season's grow, my friend!
Thanks Paul, as you know it starts with good seed stock and the generosity of the folks here, so you only have yourself to blame, and Shane, and Jamie, and Bonnie, and DeNNiZ, and Trippa, and Balasz, and Robert (MisterNo), and Ramon, and ....
Not too much to report that's new. We continue to get rain showers on a daily basis mixed with enough sun to really make things sticky out there. Daytime highs in the upper 80's, night-time lows in the low 70's. The plants are really using it to grow... The Yellow 7 and Kapia peppers in particular have doubled in size in the last 2 weeks. All of the Chinense are blooming now, and most have set pods. I'm having trouble taking clear pics with the backup camera but will post them if I have them.
I had to pull 3 of the biggest Krimzon Lee Paprika pods because they were long enough for the tips of the pods to touch the plastic mulch. Ordinarily it wouldn't be a problem, but with all the rain we've been getting, there was a film of water constantly between the two and the pods were getting soft at the tip, so I trimmed away the soft parts, cut them up with some thin-sliced onions and fried them up after sampling a 1x1 inch piece... there was no sweetness because the pods were still green, but there was a surprising amount of heat... about as much as a Serrano.
Cheers All!
