when should i expect to start seeing pods on my tabasco

[HotPeppas]

When do they usually start to produce? Im stoked to see this upward growth of how they grow up. And make homemade tabasco

I usually see pods on all my plants after I stop looking at them every day.

 

[HotPeppas]

Well i got to go check mine again water time

Slow down peppas, chiles will be there in no time... Gotta let mother nature do what she does best....

I grew them last year and growing them this year. Great choice in pepper. They are considerably hotter than the sauce. I wasn't ready for it when I ate it like a jellybean!!! Once they do pop some peppers, stand by for ALOT!!!!

 

[HotPeppas]

wow thanks for that! Didnt expect them to be hotter than the sauce! Cool beans Yeah im ready. My tabasco is about 3' with a lot of side branching

Do they taste like the sauce? Just hotter? I am growing some this year so I'd line to know

I'm starting to see them now.

I'm looking forward to making some powder.

Taste like the sauce, no. They are bitter and hot!! They taste good just nothing like the sauce. I absolutely love making the Rotel, Velveeta Cheese, and Spicy sausage mixture with a handful of Tabasco's minced up. Then grab some scooping or dipping chips, and yummmmm!!!!!!

It may not need to be said, but any pepper will taste hotter than the sauce that is made from it. The simple reason being that when in the sauce it is diluted with other ingredients making the amount of capsaicin by volume less. Of course there are exceptions, with sauces that have pepper extracts being the most notable one.

Edit: Sorry, that is totally off topic...

when the flower falls off and u see a pepper lmao

 

[HotPeppas]

well im not aware if pepers go by height or age or daylight time to start throwing pods. I mean even temps can change the fruiting process

So i was just wondering a ETA

 

[Portuge]

Hey peppas, do you have any photos of your plant on here?

 

[HotPeppas]

Yeah in the glog area

[sup]Tabascos are awesome! The are great fresh, I like taking a bunch of them and squeezing the juices out onto a steak or some chicken or whatever. [/sup]

[sup]It's my favorite pizza topping too, dried = best dried pepper ever! You'll never use crushed red pepper again.[/sup]

[sup]Yea be patient, near the end of a grow season I was picking 100-200 peppers off a day![/sup]

 

[HotPeppas]

How big was your plant? How long do they keep throwing peppers?

 

[Web_Of_Hair]

it looked like this (the actual plant I mentioned) from August until November and I picked RIPE peppers off of it everyday

 

[HabaneroHead]

That is what I call a real plant!
What is the size of the pot it is sitting in?
