Thanks brotha

Non-pepper shot- my little water garden- crossing fingers I get some nice blooms on the larger one this year. Dug that one out of my grandmothers pond last spring and the smaller one this spring.

CAP 455- if these taste good I'll be growing again- loaded with pods right now

CGN 21566

Aji Piura

Rocoto Aji Largo

Serrano tempiqueno

First fruit on one of my purple tomatillos

Thanks for looking. Will post more pics when I get a chance. Happy growing everyone

Cool looking pods Devan! It's nice to know what the Red Lima Rocoto pods look like when I finally get the ones you sent large enough to flower and bear. Probably not this season as slow as the Pubes grow, but I'll do my level best to OW the plants in preparation for next season. Cheers!

thanks rick, next year we'll get you some clones a little earlier so you don't have to OW if you don't want to. hit them with some ice water to encourage earlier bloom

Interesting tip... how would you apply the ice water? How much and how often? Have you tried it yourself?

Hi Rick it's something I read while researching my rocopica plant. It makes sense and I think it's why I have pubescens pods so early this year. I was watering them with ice cold water while indoors and they were putting off flowers at just a few weeks old. I just water like normal only used very cold tap water.

Hot enough for you?

Devil's Dust Asian Gazpacho w/ brita-filtered luksusowa and a dollup of sour cream ...

Devil's Dust still blowin' up the spot - sour cream didn't even seem to reduce the fiyah ...

Can you give me the quickie rundown on using these shrooms in the next 2-3 days ...

I'm going to be having some tacos, but after that, I'd like to use them w/ my next duck breast experiment and I'm really not all that familiar w/ working from dried one's ...

Do I rehydrate in some cold water, or ? ...

Muchas Gracias (in advance) ...

pour some hot water over them,cover and let sit for 30 minutes. Then use just like any fresh mushroom.Save/use the liquid. Or if braising something or making a stew/soup etc you can just toss them right into the pot. Also as we talked about you can spin them around in the coffee grinder and use the powder in/on anything you want to add some umami to. :cheers:

I brought in some obscure indie yeasties for the future brew w/ your cone's ...

The window on the yeast is three months, so, plenty of time!

Nice updates. Mushrooms and Rocopica look especially good! Are the CAP455 a baccatum?

Thank you.yes the CAP 455 is a baccatum and a really awesome one at that. no heat at all and excellent flavor, crisp and juicy.

Here's a couple of pics- someone mentioned it was sold as kaleidiscope at one point but my pods seem to be larger and different shape.

FreeportBum · Aug 10, 2015

A few pics from today and yesterday

Pink tiger pods. Only plant with dark purple pods all others have light purple- hope this plant gets the stripes. Pod below was crossed with CBBG7
