That was a very pretty pod. Hope your season continues to go well. If I can find the pics I'll post up on my glog the peppers I harvested my seeds from for the ghosts, reapers and TM scorpions.

Plants look great Randy!
 
Looking forward to seeing the results of your test. I know they'll just come back bushier and stronger.

I made Rabbit Caccitorie (I know I mis spelled it) back in Culinary School (2006-2008). It was awesome, My chef instructor taught us something kind of weird that day too, A skinned cat and rabbit look identical, The only way to tell the difference is in the bones, He said "Now remember, Rabbits have round bones, Felines have flat bones" Mind you he said this as he chewed the meat off of what you would call a drumstick, It was HILARIOUS to see all the ladies in the class cringe. HAHAHAHAHAHA It was quite good though.
 
He also added that if you order chicken wings from a Chinese place and they have flat bones, you may want to rethink where you order from...... Now I am from western NY, Where the Buffalo wing originated.... If you order wings from a Chinese place..... Everyone else muse be closed HAHAHAHAHA... The stories I could tell yall about food and the orders and stuff I have run into are endless.

Boy... I haven't seen that many "high and tight" haircuts since basic training! :P  Your plants looked like they had great growth before, so keep feeding them like you were and I expect they'll bush right up in a few weeks. Good luck Randy!

You were with the arty then? I was the unit supply clerk for a combat engineer company and took basic in Ft Dix, NJ... right around this time of year too. Road marches in the pine barrens in ankle-deep sand and the cold spring rain was a real treat... :rolleyes:
 
Great looking plants.
I am thinking about topping and stripping my chinense peppers ( JHC, Moruga and Jolokia) so they can develop more new side parts. But half of advices I got were dont do anything while other half were cut 70% of leaves off.
