Nice pods! I like the Spikes on the LemonDrop x IncaBerry. Selecting for the Spikes could be cool as a pheno.

Thanks for checking in. It is a nice cross by D3.

Thank you. I was always opposed to containers, but I like it now. Everything is controllable. I hope to document every variety I am growing.

I extended the holiday weekend. Here are a few shots and a small harvest.

Jimmy Nardello with a bunch of pods.

Goatsweed...pretty cool looking plant and pods.

Picked a bunch of Shishito and a lone 7-pot Orange.

I like tossing the shishito in olive oil and some salt and then just put them on the grill till they start to blister.

Very cool! I see you've got the tapas thing down... Do you think pepper steak might be next? Sausage and pepper hoagies? :drooling:

I was thinking about baking some bread for some sausage with peppers and onions. Maybe sometime this weekend.

Pepper and tomato plants are really showing some nice growth as the weather heats up.

Brown BBG7

Mystery Wine

Most plants are progressing really well. Seeing some signs of small pest damage, but nothing to be alarmed about. Kind of dreading the pod processing that will be coming shortly.

Mystery Wine is looking amazing!

Devv · Jul 7, 2016

Very nice! Your weather is just perfect for production with the schedule you're using. Congrats!

But that's just part of the process. :dance:

Thanks Chris. I have 3 plants this year and it looks like they are all going to be productive plants.

It sure is.

Of course. First time growing them, hope they turn brown. I was out there the other day and picked a red pod off of the plant. I didn't realize that it was the brown bbg until I looked at my plant list.

FreeportBum · Jul 7, 2016

Not to be a Debbie downer but red will probably stay red. Still nice shape and really big calyx.

D3monic · Jul 7, 2016

Looks good, that mystery wine is fully loaded.

tctenten · Jul 8, 2016

The cukes have been rolling in. I am trying to stay ontop of the processing. Another 4 pints canned tonight, 2 hot, 2 not.

Devv · Jul 8, 2016

Looking good :party:

A very busy time is coming! But it's all good. Glad your season is doing so well.

Keep it green!

Bhuter · Jul 9, 2016

Your brown BBG7 look great! They're enormous! I've also seen the pic you posted on Freeportbum's glog of your Hot Rod Serrano x CBBG7. Those are some beautiful peppers! Great job on growing them!

Thanks Scott. It is going to be busy. I hope I have time to try and can some tomatoes using your method.

Thanks for checking in Adam. The plants are doing really well so far this year. I am going to try and do a picture update tomorrow.

Love spicy cukes. That brown bbg7 looks scary. Mystery Wine is a very nice producer. Great looking pod's.

stickman · Jul 10, 2016

Good job on the pickles Terry! I'm at least a couple of weeks behind you... my Cukes are just starting to blossom, but when they start coming in it's time for New York half sours. :drooling:

Picked some more this morning. I will most likely pickle them this afternoon.
