Garden and pods look great Randy! Some really nasty looking pods on the vine!
 
Sorry about the back issues. I think most of us have been there, or are there. And they say hard work never hurt a man..now that's a load of sheet One thing that works for me is the abs work.
 
Get well buddy!

You are knocking it out of the park, Randy!
Great pods coming on; super abundant heat
in your grow!
 
Saw a great documentary on AXS about Freddie
Mercury and Queen.  If he wasn't a genius musician,
he was at least brilliant.  
 
I feel your sciatica pain, literally.  Just one of the
pleasures of reaching the early stages of middle age 
 
Keep on rockin' that grow, buddy!

Incredibly nasty, Randy!  It hurt just to look at some of those pods!
 
Looks like a great finish coming on for you!

You've got some nice looking color there brother... and so it begins.

Glad to hear you're almost back to "normal".

Me either, haha! That thing's viscous looking!

Awesome plants and pods, Randy! Keep up the good work! Take care of that back, man. Sciatica SUCKS! My doc told me that 99% of the women that come through his office say that sciatica is WORSE than childbirth, haha. I feel for you; I just had my 3 lowest discs fused w/ titanium rods on Memorial Day. Alternate heat and ice, man! Hope you feel better

Hey Randy,
 
I have another happy accident to report. I grew two plants from that bigass Trinidad Scorpion Red you sent me last year. They had a rough time of it but are producing well now. These two plants got hit pretty hard by the neighbor farmers 2,4-DB spray drift so they're way behind.
 
One plant is making blazing hot red peppers just like mama pepper.
 
One plant is making these delicious yellow peppers. Two phenotypes on the same plant. Not sure what the the cross is but my guess is daddy may be a YNBS. I don't think it's the Yellow Moruga because these peppers don't have that Moruga "flavor".
Whatever they are... they are thick wall, very sweet and fruity and not exceptionally hot. Definitely a prize winner. Gotta grow me some isolated pods on this plant too.
 
I do have a couple of isolated pods from that superhot YNBS cross that I prematurely called an orange naga brain strain a while back. Come to find out when I left them on the plant for a longer time, they mature a very  deep red. More like a burgundy naga brain strain. I can send you some of the seeds if you want.

About to go back and catch myself up on this glog. Your pods are so gnarly that I have to see your grow.
Also, thanks to the box I got from you, I think Yellow Naga Brain is my new favorite pepper.

 

[Devv]

Hope all is well there old man! It's been a while since we've heard from you.
 
Best wishes from Tejas!

 

[stickman]

[Superhot Sim]

Thanks Randy! Some picture perfect pods

 

[stickman]

Randy sent some pepper love here as well... Thanks guy, you rock!

What all is in here? I'm especially interested in the red rocoto... The only Pubiscens variety I've had any luck with here is orange manzano, and I'd like to grow more.
