nice man, hopefully f2 it comes back orange if you grow it again. That one larger pod with bleeding calyx looks real nice! I am just getting pods on my plants here, to early to tell pod shape for me. your grow is looking great man, keep up the good work.

Cheers

Thanks, that big one was the ripest. I probably should have let the others go a bit longer.

It may be coincidence but one my habanero hot lemon had a bleeding calyx. I'll have to keep an eye on that. Would be neat to get another pod type with color bleed.

Nice man it's fun when unexpected stuff pops up. One of my yellow BBG plants is putting out white pods :party:

don't wanna jinx it but I think they are staying white and they have a nice fat calyx that is also starting to turn white.

Here's one I am really looking forward to trying and seeing what color they will ripen to.

All the pics below are my Pink tiger x Caramel Moruga cross. They start green you can see in first pic I circled a small pod in red, then they turn dark purple as you can see in the second picture, then they are starting to go back to green as they are ripening. If they turned caramel I would be really stoked.

Thank you sir, it should be fun to see what pops up out of them next year. Cheers

A few early morning pics-

I told myself 4ft rows between the base of plants would be enough room. This is one of those time's I'm glad I was wrong

Pic1's Scotch Brain- I have two different phenos, only one is pictured below

Islander- look really nice and taste even better

Pic1's UBSC brown looking gnarly as always

Jobito

SBS Purple Ornamental

FruteGUM

Aji largo about 6ft by 6ft ..lol just getting over some major slug damage

Beautiful photography ... Thank you for the update ... Do you ever hear from Greg (Pic1) he also valued the bonnet

JoynersHotPeppers · Aug 2, 2016

I have found no matter what space I give them they grow to fill the rows. 4 foot apart only gives each plant 2 foot from base to the outside before they touch, I gave up!

Great looking garden!

Thank you sir. Last time I talked with Greg was when he sent me some seed in early spring. Hope to see him back and posting soon. Someone mentioned he may have went to France.??

Thanks homie. I didn't have very high expectations this year

Considering last year I put all my plants int he ground then we had frost and hail, so I ripped everything out and planted beans :banghead:

I mentioned that the last time he was absent for some months that he'd mentioned that he had been in France doing some baking school or such ...

Beautiful looking pods and plants! I'm curious about the Islander ond FruitGUM. The former, is that a sweet pepper? And the latter, is it a personal cross?

Thanks for stopping by. Islander is a sweet bell pepper the fruits ripen through a showy stage of violet,yellow and orange streaks and eventually turning a rich very dark red.

The fruteGum is a mojo peppers creation- a cross between Cabai Burung Ungu (frutescens) x Bubblegum 7 pot (chinense)

Cheers

Looking good man. You grow some pretty interesting varieties.

OCD Chilehead · Aug 3, 2016

Beautiful garden. The solar mulch is doing its job. I may try it next year. Plants and pod's are looking great. Nice looking Largo. Great profile.

JoynersHotPeppers · Aug 3, 2016

Do you have seeds? :rofl:

grantmichaels · Aug 3, 2016

Got Seeds For That?

meatfreak · Aug 3, 2016

WOW, great grow and great crosses going on in your garden. The USBC Brown looks close to mine last year, they looked a lot like Brain Strain pods. The Scotch Brain is a great creation of Greg, it's been a while that I've spoken with him to. Did know he planned on traveling even more then he did before, enjoying the life

Devv · Aug 3, 2016

I know Greg was close to retirement 2 years ago, so that has happened by now. Good on him for fulfilling his dreams. I know he loves to cook. Who here hasn't experienced his sauces? Best I've ever had

As for your garden: just killer! I've tried 5' between plants and rows in years past, they filled the rows (don't go by my dismal grow this year) so it's all good. And congrats on the jungle and all of it's produce!

Sounds very exciting. Is the fruteGum a stable cross yet? The pods looked really cool.
