Todays Meager Harvest

[HotPeppersFlyFishing]

Pick a few chile's today not many but enough
that I was happy :) I think this is how it will
be for me this yr a lil here a lil there.Picked
the Big Jims because I have 4 about to turn red
(seed saving) and the plant has about 25 to 30
new pods growing and I want them to grow quick now that
the season has (at best) 2 months left. Try a Fatalli
gotta say I loved it!!! Dehydrated most pickled the
jims and picked a few more Tams (not in Pic) to add
with the pickled jims.
pic pods are
Fatalli Tams 1 Hab Jims

Not THAT much more. I think your expectation of 2 more months might be overly optimistic. Your night time temps are averaging low to mid 50's dipping into the upper 40's. Unless your location is not actually south eastern Michigan.

I'd call it a month maybe, unless you grow indoors or are planning to bring those babies inside. If not your nights are gonna be solidly in the 40's in just a few weeks and while that wont kill them, its gonna slow then down a lot. One or two frosts and yer all done.

Do the lakes keep the temp from dropping as quickly as elsewhere?

[RowBear]

Might be a small harvest, but they look good.

[915river]

Nice harvest small or big it is good my friend be happy & enjoy.

[whocares]

I love the colour of the Fataliis :) Still waiting for mine to give me some fruits ! I'm sure you'll have a great harvest on the next months :)

[HotPeppersFlyFishing]

Thanks again everyone.Got another harvest coming up
on Sunday:)I probably have til mid October before I
start to think about moving them in or stopping. Last
8 yrs or so I have been taking my G/F apple picking and
at the orchard we go to they have Chile plants and I pick
a ton for about $1.09 a pound and that is right around
Halloween!!:)

[talas]

[HotPeppersFlyFishing]

Mornin Talas!! Dont fall out of the tree:lol:The 1st
time me and the G/F went apple picking I said to her
"ok lets get some apples you stand here" (I pointed to the
base of the tree) the I climbed up and said "are you ready"
she said "yes" then I started shaking the crap outta the tree
she said "you son of a b*tch":lol:

[Pepperfreak]

Tom, that does look like a nice harvest. Sometimes it's not the quantity that counts but the quality :)

[chilehunter]

thats a good harvest, & ditto what skyjerk said about the season length, Oct. is the end for me (begining or mid depends) & thats really pushing my grow time cuz I'm already bringing the plants inside the shed or house for the nights for some weeks.

[HotPeppersFlyFishing]

Well dang it wouldnt you know..I had another harvest today
3 nice Big Jims about 20 or so Fatalli's about the same amount
of Jalapeno Tams and 1 Tabasco and after i got them all
into the dehydrator I realized I didnt take a pic:(
but on another note there was 1 very small Fatalli (ripe)
that I decided to munch on.....HOLY CRAP :lol:

[Pepperfreak]

Sounds great Tom. BTW, don't worry too much about missing a photo opt. I have had several harvests that I just didn't have time to photograph. The important thing is that you are getting some good harvests. :)

[AlabamaJack]

nice Tom...I don't know how I missed this thread a couple of days ago...and the Fataliis WILL lite you up...

[skealo]

I'm planning on bringing mine in probably the first week of Oct. It got into the upper 40's last night (46 here actually) and I won't chance to much. I remember opening day of bow season a few years ago on the first of Oct and sure enough we got some snow flurries that day. My plants are still producing, but the growth is already slowing down. As long as there's no threat of frost they are staying out. With a threat of frost though. They are coming into the growlights.

I'm still waiting on my Naga's. From my timing I'm thinking the last weekend of Sept I'll get some ripe ones. Ya gotta let me know what ya think of the Naga since you'll be eating one sooner than me;):D

Rabbit,Do you actually expect me to eat 1??? :lol::lol:

.........of course that's what they are for aren't they? Ok, either you mean you'll be so addicted it will be more than one, or you're using it for sauces. Most of mine I plan on using for sauces, salsas, and powders. Ya still gotta let me know how the flavor is though:P:cool:

Nope was a good boy and made a Plumb crumble (well 5 actually) when i got back and didn't et a chance to eat anything till yesterday as i put them in the freezer :)

[chilehunter]

the other night it got down to 38F (well that was the temp when I woke up might of got colder dont know) there was a slight frost here, & the frost warnings were for 150 miles north of me. glad I covered plants (garden) & moved plants (containers)

we always get these fluke frosts (spring & fall) & then back to warmer temps

[chilehunter]
