Gary, such a cool painting.....a personal touch, no two thoughts are the same when throwing the idea on the canvas.....well done.

If you're looking for another grower for the Naga let me know.

Penny · Oct 30, 2013

Love the painting, well done!!

What a nice surprise from your neighbor! Beautiful painting, definitely wall worthy.

Thanks Greg! I know what you mean...He kind of took some liberties, but I think it looks even cooler that way. It'd be freaking incredible to have your mad skillz for the F3 NagaBrain grow...Thanks! I should have fresh pods in a couple weeks if the freeze will hold off that long. If not I'll be sure to get you some seeds out.

That what I've been waiting for to, Jamie! Seems like those suckers are never going to turn.

Thanks Shane! That would be a great painting for sure: dogs, herbs, pecan trees, and chile plants!

Your helping with the F3 NagaBrain grow would be great...I'm excited to see whose mad skills will produce the mother plant for the F4 grow! The more plants you can grow out, the more we will have to choose from, but I know everyone has space constraints. Probably you would need 3 or 4 plants to make it worth your time. I'll get you some seeds out the next time I send seeds out. You want in on the F3 grow of Spicegeist's Bonda Ma Jacques x 7 Pot Yellow too?

I'd be delighted to grow out 3 or 4 plants of the NagaBrain - sounds like a blast! I'll try the others, too - I'm not quite filled out in my grow14 list!

Every day when I check my Peruvian Market Aji I think about you, and just yesterday one of the pods turned completely yellow! Man, I'm excited to taste this baby:

This is one of my favorites, Gary. Love the flavor and heat. I don't think there is a better sandwich pepper! I have the same experience with some PepperGal Yellow Aji seed - stupendous growth, but really long grow season. My OW Aji didn't survive my care, so I harvested no YA this season. I still have a few deseeded frozen to tide me over. I have three Ajis started now - two from the peruvian seed, and one from the original; PG seed; about 3 months old now.

Cool! Thanks PG! I think you'll like the NagaBrain…I'll get you some seeds out in the next couple weeks.

There's just nothing else quite like a really good Aji Amarillo—Spicy Candy! There's just no describing it.

Wow, Jamie, thanks so much for this freaking killer care package dude! What are these crazy huge Bhut-looking pods? Should I be very afraid? I can't wait to taste the powder…I'll report back real soon…You are da man!

Penny · Nov 19, 2013

Nice indeed!! :dance:

Devv · Nov 19, 2013

Very nice score Gary!

That Jamie's mas generous!

windchicken · Nov 20, 2013

Thanks guys! As the saying goes, there are no friends like chile head friends!

Shot this video last week, in anticipation of the hard freeze that would finish my 2013 Grow:

(Because of YouTube's 15-minute limit, I split it into 2 parts, about 10 minutes each.)

Oh, I'm afraid! Had the blossom half of a Giant Naga this morning….tasty!

You've got some colorful peppers in those video's...question, in the first video around the 9:35 point, what is that pepper? My volume wasn't working and I wasn't sure if you named the pepper or not?

its a bummer about your freeze...

Devv · Nov 20, 2013

Gary enjoyed the plant tour!

You have great variety and beautiful plants for sure!

So did it freeze? We had 36° and a mild frost, just some minor damage.

Now what's headed our way this weekend could be a game ender.

Take care!

Thanks Penny! That's the Italian pepper Calabrese a Mazzetto, seeds from Meatfreak. My wife saw David Rocco cooking with them on Food Network and said I should grow them for her....Let me know if you want seeds...

Thanks Denniz! Todd is supplying seeds for the Chocolate NagaBrain (I haven't heard from him either), I'm saving seeds for the regular red NagaBrain...I'll be getting you some out in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks Scott! We had 2 nights of 28ºF—It shut me down completely, except for the plants in the garage. I'm praying that your garden dodges this next one!

Lol, thanks J Daddy! I haven't heard from Ray in a while, but then I haven't been around THP much lately either. You talked to him?

By the way, your powder spanked me real good on my pizza tonight...NICE!
