Another win for the good guys.


I am getting more enjoyment out os seeing this than the peppers at this point. Right now it is all about the rocoto for me. More pods setting and tons of flowers on the plants.

Glad to hear your rocoto are doing well! It's definitely the best time of year for them. Good to see the parasitic wasps are exacting revenge on the hornworms in your garden.

Just gotta love the good taking out the bad..

 

[Trident chilli]

Have to agree with you ... great picture at first I thought I was looking at rice grains on a leaf ... pleased the parasitic wasps will reach havoc on the hornworms

A little harvest from today. I have been slowly pulling plants so that things are easier ehen the growing season is done.

I made two ferments from most of those pods. One red and one yellow.

Nice money shot Terry! I hear ya 'bout easing the pepper plants towards the exit... I've got enough heat stockpiled to carry me through 'til harvest next year, so I'm not watering the chiles to encourage them to ripen what they have and not produce more. Any chance of pics of your fermented sauces?

Red ferment. Aji Margariteno, Aji Rosita, Red BBG7 and some superhot reds that Randy sent me. Garlic, carrots and 4% salt.

Yellow ferment. MOA, Aji Jobito and some ot RandyP's yellow supers. Pineapple, mango, onion, ginger, garlic and 4% salt.

I put 2 Tbspn of sourdough hooch in each to kick start them.

Does anyone know what this is? I have noticed some of tgese along with some small holes on pods. It has two very long antenna and is very quick. This is the first one I have been able to catch.

Does it have big hind legs like a grasshopper? If so, it's some kind of cricket.

Thanks Rick. After looking at more pictures on the net, I think you nailed it.


Thankfull for smaller harvests.

 

[Devv]

I got a nice surprise in the mail today, Christmas in September
 

 
Picture perfect peppers! I'll be sharing at work tomorrow if my buddies dare to taste   Seeds will be saved.
 
Thanks Terry!

 

[tctenten]

They just keep coming. Aji Limon and Aji Rosita had a ton of pods on them.

That was only about 2/3 of one plant.  It weighed 14 oz and that is a perfect amount to make a sauce for Grant.  The rest might just stay on the plant.  Luckily they are in root pouches and I am able to move the plant I am harvesting.  Sat in a lawn chair and just start plucking and rotating the pot.

 LOL, One year is all it took of 4 plants of Cayenne's and we were done with them. I can't imagine all those tiny ones.
 
Are you ready for winter? You need the break   Garlic season is among us. And here we go again.....

 

[OCD Chilehead]

Great looking pod's, Terry. I like the ferment. Something I've yet to dabble in.

Thanks again for the Aji Pineapple's.

 

[tctenten]

Not much to report from the garden. I am down to about 20 plants left. Every weekend a few more meet their demise. I spent a couple of hours disassembling the drip system and preparing a bed for garlic.


I started another ferment and made some caramel apple jam with bonnets.
