Windchicken 2013

Finally got me some lights and a heat mat...

The trays are the self-watering Burpee 32-cell type..Hopefully they will maintain more consistent moisture levels.

This is what I sowed:

C. chinense
MoA Scotch Bonnet (STEVE954), 6
Madame Jeanette (Meatfreak), 6
Bahamian Goat (FadeToBlack), 6
NagaBrain (romy6), 8
Trinidad Scorpion, 4

Thai Garden Birdseed, 4
Ashe County Pimento (kentishman), 4
Kitchen Pepper (Datil), 4

C. baccatum
Aji Amarillo, 8

There are a few spots still open. Probably will sow NuMex 6-4 and some Morouga, because people are asking for it....

Looking great. Pods are popping fast. Beautiful plants and now it's wait for color time

 

[windchicken]

Thanks Pia! Waiting and waiting....

Those Bahamian Goats are beautiful Gary! My Texas Pequin peppers point to the sky. Did yours start out pendant?

 
Thanks Rob! Yes, these pequins start out pendant. Yours are probably more authentic than mine...The ones I have seem to be an unstable cross. The fruit is quite soft, also, almost like a ripe Tabasco. Very nice flavor and heat, though. I need to stabilize the variety, but that's just another project on hold out of dozens....For now I have this F2 mother plant, the one plant out of 6 original starts that sets these type pods...

 

[windchicken]

Cheerios with fresh-picked Cumari do Para for breakfast this morning—a very nice bump in the a.m....Now if only my Pequins would turn red I could use this box of Captain Crunch...

Breakfast of Champions \o/

 

[windchicken]

My mind is running away with the possibilities for new breakfast ideas....

 

[Datil]

Amazing shots Gary!
I'm very late compared to you this season but i'm seeing first pods forming on overwinters at least
Nice breakfast too !

Datil

 

[capsidadburn]

Cumariohiohs! Tasty hot wake up!

Thanks Fabrizio! I need to check out your glog....I know you will end up with a killer grow...
 
You were so right about the Kitchen Pepper Peach...It is a sturdy, bushy, robust plant, taking on the very worst weather without blinking...I love how the pods look like some sort of chinense, but they set upward like giant bird peppers...

Lol! Thanks Mike! I'm going to use that name....

I will surely put some updates on my blog page when something interesting happens
I'm very glad you like KPP, i'm sure you'll like the flavor too!
 
Cya!

Awesome picture, Gary. Hilarious That Kitchen Pepper Peach already had my attention last season but kinda forgot to find a source for it. When you harvest some seeds, keep some on the side for me, Gary

Nice, but they'd look better in some fruit loops.

 

[GA Growhead]

Now I'm coming over to have breakfast with you! Cereal!

Cool, I'll be looking forward to the pix...
 
One of my co-workers (who does not like the flavor of chinense) confessed that he picked one of the KPPs green a couple days ago—He reported that the flavor and heat were excellent...Now I'm really anxious to get the colored ones!

You got it Stefan!

Lol! That would be way more appropriate...

Come on Jason! Tomorrow we're having Special K with ripe Chupetinha pods....

 

[KiNGDeNNiZ]

Ya when I first meg your Gary you were putting powdered Congo in your grits. . Awesome presentation of pods

 

[windchicken]

Wow, thanks KD! Those grits were really red...I'm going to make me some more this weekend!
 
Picked my first NagaBrain of the season yesterday...Had it with some Taco Bell....Mmmmmm....
 

 

[armac]

taco bell?

thought you were from the Valley.......good looking pod.

 

[WalkGood]

He goes long and he scores, crowd going wild … Beautiful NagaBrain Gary!

I am ashamed to admit I eat at the TB Rodney...Please don't take away my Valley cred.....

Thanks Ramon! There are some much freakier ones on the way....

 

[romy6]

  That had to be one   cool ranch taco 
 
And the cereal must have been delightful   

 

[windchicken]

 Thanks Jamie! The cereal was real good—When you get that many Cumari pods together they pack a nice punch...
 
The NagaBrain grew steadily more intense, all the while with that wonderful flavor, until I bit the stem end, then someone pounded a red-hot railroad spike right through my tongue. After that was the sweet Naga euphoria...I walked outside with a big grin and grooved on the world for a while...
