Hey John, I wasn't able to keep up very well this year but tried to look back and check your latest pics. Looks like overall you had a pretty good year. That Jonah orange thing that looked like and SB7J last year for me really changed for you but looked nice. Good looking pods though.

How was the bahamian beasts? Were they hot? I see it looks like you didn't get any of the bahamian goat like shapes. Not many people did. Last years plant was a mix the first 6 or so pods all looked like giant habs. Then the next wave probably 50 - 60 pods were shaped like perfect and large bahamian goats but read and hotter with thicker walls. Then after that they got stingers. The seeds from that has produced almost every color possible I think. I have seen pods that were chocolate, peach, yellow (most common), red, olive, mustard, dirty orange, and white. I have seen some bahamian goat shapes but the habanero shape is more common. A friend in Italy grew 57 plants of them, he had many of these colors and did have at least one or a few plants with the perfect big red goat like pods. havne't decided if I will grow any out next year I have received peach, yellow and red seeds from a friend in Chicago and the friend in Itally is going to send seeds from all his best plants. My yellow one was pretty damn hot for a yellow hab like pod. It did have some pods with the nice shape but they are still green and will be frozen soon.

I saw you had shape challenges on some varieties. I often get long MOAs also. Did you grow my Scotch Bonnet WHP? This is my third year since it appeared as an unknown cross and the shapes are holding stable. I have never had a long pheno and never a habanero like pheno, all of the shapes have been consistently bonnet like throughout the plant.

Way behind, and trying to catch up. John, you've had a stellar season for sure. Wish mine went as well!

Justin your Bahamian Beasts grew the typical habanero shape I think our poor summer stopped them from getting a better shape. Great variety though lots of oil in each pod and they have dried well in the dehydrator for flakes/powder. Best surprise was the ScotchBrain Long from FB ... turned out to be a cross of yours with a Yellow BBG7. Your SB WHP is top of my list for 2018 ... your chilli Christmas card will be in the post in the next couple of weeks

Last harvest and all plants removed from the polytunnel ... already looking forward to 2018 and another bonnet adventure

ScotchBrain Long x Yellow BBG7

Lemon drops which had to be finished off under the grow lights as none matured in the polytunnel

Stage cleared plants ready to be pulled from their pots

Database to be updated... seed to send it's going to be a busy next few weeks ... to all that have helped me with seed .. a big thank you .. and to those that have a bonnet or hybrid I would love to hear from you

Great haul john and some prime numbers buddy. The BBG x stands out, another who grows a lot of different types of pepper but always produces.
Love watching your grow and your ongoing Bonnet journey.
Good work but, Wong be long before we fire up the propagators.

It's certainly been a year of surprises John, but you've done well with the hand Ma Nature dealt you. You've gotten some really memorable pods, and hopefully you've put away enough summer sunshine in the form of sauces and powders to last you through the winter. All the best, and looking forward to next year's adventure. Cheers!

Those are amazing! Best of luck with over-wintering, but it looks like you are well prepared.

John, it wasn't necessarily your weather it was just those things were so unstable. More hab shapes than goat shapes. A guy in Italy got a plant that was mostly perfect. Even my original plant the first wave of about 8 pods was like huge bonnets then the next big wave of pods was mostly goat shapes. I have seen almost every color possible come out of them this year.

Here is a picture I thought you would like. This is Sandra's last bonnet pull this year. I think she said she picked most if not all of these green before a freeze and they have ripened up nicely in her garage.

Unbelievable harvest with super shaped bonnets ... Sandra certainly has green fingers ... loving the Brown's thank you Justin for posting
