I don't know how i missed this but yeah.. They are turning yellow before they turn red. Don't think I've seen that before.

Looking amazing back there! Lot's of pods ripe and turning...
 
On the left, the vine that looks almost like Maple leaves, what is it? Do you know? I have one that must be 40 feet long down the fence and cant get to the root area currently and will need to wait until fall.

It is wild hops. If the vine has little stingers all over it and almost burns like stinging nettle and leaves a red line on you that's what it is. Next time I'm there I'll send you some pics of it. Lol... It's all over and after it flowers I'm gonna make some beer.
 
Killer pics. Nice update with some tasty goodness. We canned some salsa today with Aji Lemons. But I have really been wanting to can some puree. I thinks you were the one that pointed me to Alabama Jack's puree thread in the first place. I just need to get me some pods.
 
smileyguy I will be driving through Peoria in 2 weeks to go see my momma in Decatur...good thing I don't know your address or I'd be stealing some pods for seeds...lmao. Amazing results though, I'm jealous.
ps I live up in Rock Falls.

This is a thread I posted a while back...should help you all out with the breeding.

I know there have been many questions on breeding/crossing chiles over the last couple of days and I thought it would be nice to post a guide of sorts to show those who are interested in breeding one way to accomplish it.

These pictures are not from me but are courtesy of www.fatalii.net

First, let's get to know the anatomy of the chile plant flower



The Sigma and Pistol are the female parts of the flower. The Stamens are the male parts of the flower

The next step is to choose the 2 compatiable types you would like to try to cross (I will post a chart below that shows which species are compatiable)

Choose the type you would like to be the female (mother) of your cross. Select an UNOPENED flower from your mother plant. If you wait until the flower is opened, there is a chance that it could have already been pollinated, either by another plant or itself.



Using tweezers, carefully remove the petals from your unopened flower. Sometimes a magnifying glass is needed. This process of removing the petals and stamens is called emasculating.





After all the petals are removed you should see this:



Next, using tweezers, carefully remove all of the stamens. Be extra careful not to damage the stigma or pistol



After all of the stamens are removed you should see this:



You now have a purely female flower.

Next step is to get yourself a q-tip and rub it around the center of the opened flower on your father plant. You then want to take the pollen on the q-tip and transfer it to the pistol of your pure female flower.



***You may want to emasculate more than one unopened flower on your mother plant to increase your chance of success.***

After this is done, you should label or mark the flowers on the female plant with the species you crossed and any other information you may need.

If the cross is successful you should see a pod start to form. if the flower drops off then you will know the cross didn't take. If this happens, it does not mean that the 2 species cannot cross, it just means that it did not take on that particular flower. Don't give up if it doesn't take on the first time.

The following chart shows which species will cross.



If you are lucky and do happen to get a pod from a flower you crossed, you will not be able to tell a difference. The genetic information for the cross is stored inside the seeds of that pod. You would have to harvest those seeds and plant them to see the results of your cross.

I hope this helps answer some questions anybody may have had about breeding chiles.

Thanks for looking,
Vincent
Also, here is a true SB7J pod from this season
