That's some "hard core" stuff right there.

You southerners really got it nice. Ripe peppers in April.

Bruce

Yeah, always jealous of the southerners.... I've got a few lemon drops set (from overwintered plants), but, not ripe yet. Looking good, Jamie!!

That was going to be my first question. Are these over wintered plants, or did you grow these this year? I'm a newbie, so I was a little naive. I thought planting in March was a good start. I now know that these super hots need a LONG season. If you planted this year, when did you start? I'm very envious! Those are some beautiful pods!

Heh, you're obviously a few zones south from me. My peppers are just now getting flowers.

awesome peppers... very envious of both your peppers and your "know how"!

Very Nice!

4 zones and 4 - 5 months away from where you're at today. I gotta move south!

Great Pepper Porn!

Yep, moving south seems like a better idea everytime one of you southerns teases us northerns with the pepper porn!

Sandy

Thank you everone for the kind words. I am very luck to live in central Florida ( Daytona Beach area).

Peppernovice. Most of the plants that are producing the fat pods where started between June and September last year. Some are a couple years old . This was mildest winter I can remember. It only dropped below freezing once.When and if it does I can easily protect them for the short time needed.

Jamie

Here are a few more pics for you sicko's :)

7 Barrackpore

fat yellow 7 pods

And the 7 brain

nother brain different plant

Have a great weekend!

Awesome! Mine (from the seeds you sent) are still babies, no true leaves yet. I hope the brain strains I started turn out all wrinkly like your unripe one. :-)

I hope so too Tim. I am glad you started more than one . That will increase your odds. I only have two. Both plants have different shape pods and some pods are more wrinkled than others.

I see "pepper porn" and Romy6, I know I'm in for a treat. Great looking pods, It's not even Mother's Day yet for crying out loud!
Seriously impressive pics, I look forward to seeing more soon.

Wonderful plants and pods, Jaime!

And a choclate bhut stuck up!

Nothing wrong with a little Friday afternoon port!

You're making my mouth water!!!

Not nice... I haven't got my plants in their final pots yet and you're harvesting ;-))

Beautiful shots!

Yah, hard to believe some are harvesting now. I just got mine potted up for the summer two days ago. Supposed to hit 87 here today though.
Bruce

Just had my first harvest for the year.

Well, if you can call one pepper a harvest. My first Pinot Noir.

Its not technically fully ripe yet, they turn red when they're totally ripe (like practically every other pepper out there). But, I'm hoping they're good eating while still green (or in this case purple) like a bell is. Either way, the rest of them on there can ripen to red, but I wanna eat something out of my garden already!

Blasted corn will be another month or two (but it does have ears on it)...

Thanks guys for the kind words. I have been harvesting nonstop since January. I need to make more. And that looks like a perfect pepper Ed.

and more

Looking good! What's in the jars? Pepper puree, sauce, or mash? Looks cool though what type of pepper did you use for the orange look?

Hey, Jaime, great inspiration!

Josh

Thanks Mark. That is my own salsa with some home grown maters and barackpore and brain strain as the seasoning. Lots of fresh garlic and spices as well. It is more of a sauce because I boil it for thwenty minutes and then blend it .
Josh I can't wait to see what you come up with this year!
Here is the before shot

Dude, now that's just going too far!!!! A little pepper porn is one thing, but, you're killin' me here in zone 5!!! LOL

A mountain of tomatoes, no less!

Josh

in the "Chocolate Love" picture... are those Chocolate Bhut's or Chocolate Habanero's?
I have read some really great stuff about the flavor of the chocolate habaneros, I'm really hoping to get some seeds for next year.

Thanks Tim. Gotta love Florida !!!

Josh my man. Salsa Salsa Salsa !!!

Beam me up Scotty:) Those are chocolate habs. Send me an email. I have plenty of non isolated seeds if your not scared!

I ain't scared :). email on it's way.

Kinda slow so here is a little pornage!

red 7pod loves it's new home. In the ground

yellow cardi scorp

lil harvest

Cool Douglah cross. Notice how dark the pod next to it is. Not sure what causes this. Any ideas?

My chiltepin is startin to ripen again. Must be summer

Superb! Great color, Jaime! :-)
I don't know why certain pods are darker/lighter green than others, but it seems to happen
on all my plants.

Josh

Yep, those pods were very nice looking. I liked the Cardi Scorp. It actually looks like that little tail would be dangerous.

This is my second full year on Garden Web and I don't remember the zone 9-10 people being so obnoxious last year. This year is seems they are taunting us northerners without mercy.

Bruce

Hahaha! All gardening is local....

Those Cardi Scorpion pods are decidedly different than the plants that I grew last year,
so I must relabel my seeds.

Josh

Zone 6b checking in:

Click to visit my pepper album

my album with peppers, cowhorn+earlyjalepeno+black jalepeno+kung pao(no fruit yet)

Thanks Josh. Not all my yellow scorps have that tail. Just a few plants.

Ok growin. Thanks for stopping by. Your plants look great!

I know girls aren't supposed to like the porn, but I couldn't resist. Thank you to all you pepper pervs who posted the luscious pics. I have a long wait in zone 5. I may have to check back for a fix now and then. :)

Well, janmac, i have the same problem..zone 4b. Anyway, I snipped buds a week or so ago and many of my plants are putting out more buds now. I have decided I would let them go at this point. So, when I get something to post, I will. Of course you realize they will be "underage" little peppers.
Bruce

1 plant - bhut jolokia's - Second harvest

{{gwi:1161813}}

Have a great weekend:)

Awesome! Quite a bit of variety going on there!

4 pics? I need more! Nice harvest. Always looking good.

Rustacator, those don't look like true Bhuts, I'm sorry to say. They have more of a Naga shape,
although the skin is more blistered than the two Naga varieties that I've grown. A hybrid perhaps.

Jaime, another fantastic harvest!

Josh

Yea i was just talking about it on another post. The link is below.

Here is a link that might be useful: Guess that pepper!

Man that is great stuff! Those are some great pics, do you have any seeds to spare from those beauty's? I would love to try my hand at some HOT STUFF!!!!

Slimgoody send me an email:)

Been a while so here are some pics from the last week;)

Harvest shots

And my 7 foot mystery annuum. Only in Florida:)(

These are beautiful pics! I am so excited especially since romy6 is in my zone so that gives me hope for some beautiful peppers! Thanks for sharing!

Man, that's awesome!!! Though, I don't know what I'd do with all those coming on all the time! The dehydrator would be in demand, that's for sure! haha!

Thanks jrosko and Tim. Never enough heat to spead around.

Not much poddage with all the heat but still some plants are pumping out pods. Like the Brain!

Barrackpore

Donne sali

Small Harvest

making some smoked powder

Finished product.

Looks great!!! Hope it doesn't melt that bag! ;-)

So, you mesquite smoked them, then dehydrated them?

Yes sir smoked them for about 2 and 1/2 hours at about 175 degrees and then dehydrated them for a day at the lowest setting possible. 100 degrees.

And Tim it's hot.( lots of 7 pods) Face was on fire all night just from grinding:)
