Sorry 'bout the glitch... still learning how to use my new "smart" phone. Sometimes it seems like it's smarter than me...

Cheers Uros, It's good to be back! I'm finally gaining on the backlog of household chores and starting to catch up on everybody's glogs.tsurrie said:Welcome back Rick. Peppers seem good and congrats on a decent garlic harvest. I can smell some fresh salsa already
You bet it's salsa time! We've been getting our fill of fresh Pico de Gallo with all this fresh cilantro to use up before it bolts. I'll have to make another planting so we'll have it when the plum tomatoes start to ripen. [emoji2]

Cool! Have you grown supers before? It can become an addiction... [emoji6]
The jury's still out here about cropping. Spicy Chicken got good results, but I suspect they may have been the result of really rich soil, long daylight hours at his latitude and the warm spell we had for a few years there. We seem to be moving away from that lately...

Hi folks, and welcome to the weekend! 
Lots to do in the veggie garden today before it rains, but I thought you might enjoy a few Dawn Patrol pics from the chile garden now that things are starting to shape up nicely.
The biggest producers this year will probably be the Forbing Nagas that brother Gary shared. The phenotype is still a bit unstable in that there is some variation in the color of the leaves and the size of the plants, but looking very good for poddage!
The Bonnets and Bonnet cross aren't far behind. I'm also starting to see pods with the "correct" shape as well.
The smallest chile plant was the Alphanerdz Douglah for the longest time, but it seems to be heading toward pod production at speed now.
Piment Cabri pods are pretty small... about nickel to quarter-sized but the plant is prolific. Sorry for the blurry pic... the camera's flash quit.
The Rosemary pepper has about a dozen pods set, and one is starting to ripen.
Brother Randy's Nuclear Cross is also looking good for pod production.
That's all for today folks... have a great weekend!

Excellent Bonnets. The Forbing is looking good. Gary just posted one of his plants. Great looking pods you guys have. Still no pods in this end. Well a few. Randy's Nuclear looks like it will be a hot one. He grows some amazing pods. His Scorpion he sent me last year was really hot!!
Take care buddy.
Enjoy the weekend.

Hi folks, I hope you all have good things in the works today! I gave my chiles their weekly feeding of liquid nutes...
...and so far so good!
A cross-section of the pods growing here...
This P. Dreadie plant is the only Bonnet to set "correct" pods, but they're all loaded!
The Piment Cabri is also loaded with small-ish pods with an interesting shape. I hope the flavor is too.
The current largest Douglah pod
TS Yellow is done with the runt pods.
Gary's Forbing Naga is apparently not stable yet. I've got at least 3 different phenotypes in the 4 plants I'm growing... not that I'm complaining, they all look awesome! One even has that neon green in the unripe pods that says "Naga King" to me and another has sort of purple shoulders.
Cheers all, and have a great weekend!

Some great looking pods on your plants Rick and they look good size as well, keep doing what your doing , your going to be busy picking peppers real soon, great work buddy. 
Looking great sir! Need to do one more round of nutes myself but scared since the plants are already out of control.
Great pods and some interesting shapes Rick ... the nutes are certainly doing their things
Thanks for the good vibe Scott! From your mouth to God's ear, eh? [emoji2]Devv said:Been playing catch up, what I see looks really good Rick!
AND, I see a twinge of color! You will have those ripe pods buddy!
Keep it cranking, you're riding on rails from here on out

Hi Rick it looks like your season is going well, plants look great with nice pod production. What is the average first frost date down there?
Really lush, healthy-looking plants there Rick! I'm so glad you're growing the Papa Dreadie...It's such a wonderful plant and pepper...Erin did an amazing job with them...❤
Wow, and those Forbing Nagas seem to be really popping for ya! Thanks so much for growing it! Your grow is part of the F3 population, so there will definitely be some variation...I even have a plant producing yellow pods...
