That is one healthy looking plant gas. Do you think its producing as much as it can? Can really only see the green leaves.Yeah, it's been great! Even the grass is green now.
I'll tell you who's really been lovin' the rain though....
Butchie!
(He's not making it easy to get through that bloody gate though!)

Negatory.
It's not producing as well as it could but it's doing OK. This is what I've been able to keep so far (remember with fruit fly though, I've easily thrown twice as much--can only keep what I bag
):I've probably got about twice that in dried pods but the rest is in a bag I'm going to grind into a mixed powder (TS Butchies and Morugies, Bhuts, Choco Bhuts, Nagas and a few Doogies
).There's a few podies from the second wave of production hiding under there but they're maggot food:
Second wave was actually pretty pathetic due to the heat. A lot of flower drop. Didn't see many pods at all.
Coming into third wave now (hence all the bags around the top of the plant) which should be much better.
And the little Butchie resident fruit fly destroyer:
ATM he's hiding from the rain down around the bottom of the plant but he usually hangs out around the pods snagging fruit flies. He loooves 'em!
(I've so gotta get a shot of him tearing into one!). Obviously he doesn't make a difference but still, he's a friend of mine! 
Rain has been coming in waves. Went out during one of the breaks.
Speaking of which, got some pod picking I gotta get on to while it's only spitting ATM.Had to go out into the rain yesterday arvo to pick some wilds before they were knocked off:
In the short time it took me to harvest that small lot, I came back in soaked to the bone. Of course, not five minutes later, there was a break.
Ah, it was all in good fun though.
Biker Billys. No heat thoughI wonder if all the heat is concentrated in the placenta that you have to scrape out :/
Missus liked them so much (first time trying them) that she went to the garden and picked another 12 Jalapenos.
Yeah that was what gassy was saying as well. Weird as Biker Billy's seemed to be the Jalapeno of choice here not so long ago??
I just took a look in our freezer to see if I had any Jalepeno HTM's or anything that I could use as poppers. I found a couple plus Prik Luang's and I thought I would give a choc hab a go as well as a Bonda Ma Jacques for some extra hot poppers. WIll give it a burl tonight hopefully!!
How far away are the HTM's from coming into production??

Nah, they're just mild (don't know what all the rave was about heat??). At least mine were too anyway. But yeah, fantastic flavour! Got some real stonkers off my plant too.
Where did you obtain yours? Mine were official Burpee seeds (still in their original pack) sent to me via a generous member on another forum so there is no question of legitimacy. If BB's did have good heat at one time, perhaps they really are a hybrid and not just labelled as one like some companies do to encourage growers to return for their "F1" seeds.
I got my seeds from JR I think.
Here's the layout of the bed with the Jalapenos:
And a pic of the entire bed
Some HTM pods. They are quite dark compared to the Biker Billy's.
And I think the tomato plant is about 10ft. It freaking blew over in the wind and snapped some branches of a chilli plant in the bed behind it. Went straight to Bunnings at 8 am and hammered a massive wooden stake to try and keep this thing upright, it weighs a freaking ton at the moment.

Take 10C of those maxes and you have Melbourne's temps for the next week!
BTW, I read today that apparently we are returning to La Nina conditions again. Not sure what I like more, cool temps in summer + lots of rain or extremely high temps with no humidity. Can't we just have something in the bloody middle?

Yeah they are a darker colour normally ... but strangely enough this season I have had 2 plants and 1 produced extremely dark pods like yours and the other lighter pods like the biker billy's ... never had that before as all the other plants have had dark pods ... not sure why .,.. maybe just a slight genetic variation??
