Yeah, I'm have to give another variety a try. Where did you get Yellow Olle from?PaulG said:Yikes! Awesome pic, TBF!
Some great pods in post #158.
And #160
BTW had a great season with the micro
tomatoes. Will definitely do a couple of
varieties next season. Yellow Olle was
probably my favorite, although not a true
micro.
Making a small dent in the 1 gal tabasco sauce, been adding 4 teaspoons per 2gts of Clamato, to myself it's the perfect blend still taste the tomato and medium taste of clam. Other notes: the plants got hit by frost last week although they were covered, I brought two plants inside(AS, and death spiral) the pods are ripening well and showing new growth. Might cut them back to over winter, haven't decided yet.
Dehydrating some apoc scorpion, choc bhutlah, death spiral, and reaper peppers. Probably going to make flakes out of this batch.
Some plants I've been growing inside strictly, might have some pods midwinter maybe.

I got my potted peppers, tomatoes, and figs into the greenhouse to overwinter. This will be the 1st winter for this, I've used my garage in the past.
I have two LED grow lights in there that will come on for about 5 hours a day (7:30am-12:30, when the sun gets around the roof), and an oil radiator. The greenhouse is built over a basement window, which is open and has a fan blowing warm house air into the greenhouse, across the radiator. Temp sensors will turn the heater off if it gets above 15 C in the greenhouse. A couple other fans in there for recirc as well.
Hoping my trinidad scorpions, ghost peppers, and south american peppers all survive the winter so I get good headstart next year.
We had our first frost warning yesterday, and I still have 20+ pepper plants in the garden. They have a row cover on them and a small space heater that runs at night, but I doubt I'll get much more from them before they die.
I'm hoping to grow some lettuce and herbs on the shelf in the greenhouse, for eating over the winter, as well as getting my 2021 stuff started in February.
Picked several dozen green tomatoes yesterday, will see if they ripen up inside. Still some Kale in the garden which will still produce most or all winter, and some lettuces.
All in all, a pretty good 2020 growing season. I made lots of hot sauce, dried a bunch as well. 12 or so gallons of tomato sauce, a few dozen jars of salsa, good hops crop for my beer making.
