WalkGood 2013, 2014 and Beyond

This is my first Glog so excuse what ever mess I may create, lol. Took way to many pictures today (31), so Ill post the first 9 and add more in subsiquent posts but didn't think it a good idea to start out doube or triple posting just for additional pics. I will also be updating the thread over time to show growth, pods and such ... but the first few pics of are of the young ones. While Ive been growing my favorite peppers for around 17 years (guess, lol), I always limited myself to 3 varieties or less. Jamaican peppers/Hab, Jalapeño and Cayenne. When things got too tuff Id milk them till they died off and stop growing for a while and start fresh. Most years I only grew the Jamaicans which are my favorite for cooking, home made sauce and the occasional powder to rub meats with or put into certain recipes.

Current inventory:
  • 5 Jalapeño
  • 1 Cayenne
  • 1 Serrano
  • 7 Datil
  • 15 Jamaican Habs (3 large around 3 years old and 12 less than year old)
  • 12 more to be determined
The young ones below are not that old with the oldest being the JA Habs which are around 3 years old now. I happen to find THP site while looking for advice/knowledge to cure one of my Jalapeños, thanks for all the good info guys/girls! In 2012 I added Datil, Thai hot, Cayenne, Jalapeño and Serrano to the mix, totaling around 41 plants now. Hats off \o_ to those of you who grow many more, dont know how you find the time and patients when things go off. That said, Ive done my fair share of battling aphids, nematodes, snails and white fly to no end over the last 3 years. Fortunately I believe to have things under control for now so Ive decided to add 12 new peppers to the mix from the listed seeds shown below.

Ill select 12 to start near end of December or first week in January from the seeds below and give credit once I get some new ones going :)

Top left to right: two Thai Hot and one Cayenne. Bottom row all Datil. BTW I don't grow everything in clay pots, just happen to get a good deal on a bunch in yard sale for a few bucks.

Huge live Oak in background, there's 5 of them in front yard so the shades hard to avoid in first few hours of sun rise.

8 Jamaican Habs in ground and cherry tomatoe in the pot, I need to find a good place to plant the tomatoe soon.

Hey Ramon, this time my timing will be right. So I hope you have an awesome T-Day - especially in light of your amazing chilli season so far. Now the only question left to ask is have you got a pepper big enough to stuff the turkey into or did I get this the wrong way round? :think: Have a good one my friend!

Thank you Scott and it’s amazing how fast dem girls grow, I got home late last night already very dark out so I turned on da porch lights and I was amazed. I’ll have to take some pics to post during the holiday. Happy T-Bird day brethren to you & LB ^_^

Ramon, you just keep on going man... nice seedlings - love the breakfast ghost powder... lol that is real tasty on Kelloggs Rice Crispies!
Interesting I’ve never tried pepper powder on cereal. Do you think it would go well on my favorite cereal, Granola Oats, Honey & Raisins?
 
Just think how much mula $$$$ Quaker will bring in from ChiliHeads with features like Ghost Granola, Honey Oats & Habs, White Bhut Jolokia & Crunchy Cranberry Almond Granola … Heck dem could just go with Pepper Granola Bars FTW :D
 
Hab a great weekend mon & Happy belated T-Bird day brethren, hope you enjoyed your friends bird :)

That'll wake you up better than coffee.
I’m not sure about others Red Ghost powder but mine came out so hot that you have to be careful but I wouldn’t give up my morning cup of Juan Valdez :D
 
Happy T-Bird day brethren!
 
gourdmaster said:
love the mortar and pestle, do you use a small brush or something to clean it thoroughly?
I mainly use electric grinders for all my powder but once in a while for small test batches of specific mixes I’ll make some up with da mortar. No little brush but that’s a good idea, it’s normally so dry it all comes out easily.
 
I hope you have an awesome T-Bird day my chili lovin brethren

Hi Ramon, Hope you and your family have a great T-day! I'm sure it'll be a spicy one...  what's on the menu?
Thanks Rick and back at ya, hope you hab an awesome T-Bird day \o/ Not sure what’s on the menu as we were supposed to go to my brother & sister in law’s brothers house as he just came out of some serious surgery and we all wanted to be together but my wife just got sick and no one can go that may have germs so we might just have a little one at home with our two boys. I will probably mix up a few powders with some of the fruits I have dried out, some sofrito starter and some fresh pods to go along with the typical American Thanks Giving Day dinner. Again, hope you hab an awesome celebration brethren :)

Lourens your timing is always right my friend, did you save any bird to eat for Thursday? If so, dehydrate some and your favorite pepper, make sure they are as hard as poker chips, grind them up fine and you’ll have Thanks Giving ChiliTurk powder :D
 
Hab a great weekend my friend and may your year turn out to be the best ever \o/
 
Received a pepper love giftage from Paul last night/ Hat’s off mon \o_

Thanks Pinoy83, Devv and gourdmaster … I told our son and he’s stoked. He’s made a few more but they’re not pepper related so I won’t post dem.
 
I made a little Jamaican Habanero Purée last night with a pound of fresh JA Habs, carrots, onions, garlic and a pinch of dis & dat. I was able to strain off enough for a bottle of pure fire. Kept da rest as purée for taco’s tonight \o/
