How did I get 6 quarts of jam out of 2 quarts of peaches? Easy Mr P... I made three 2-quart batches. :)  The hot, dry weather out your way has certainly jump-started your supers. I'll bet your powder this year kicks ass and takes names! Yowza!
Doh!    :doh:    :rofl:
 
Right on, Rick.  The pods grow amazingly fast in the hot weather.
Come on out to the NWCF in September and sample a few!

Wow nice im a little jealous! 
 
Been lucky this season, Charles.  You have chosen a tough place to grow peppers!
Your grow season must be pretty short?
 
Is that your doggie?  Does it eat peppers    ;)   Very cute

Did some harvesting today - will post pics tomorrow, but here's a little 
look at some 7 Pot BrainStrains lit up by the late afternoon sun.  
Last year I had 4 pods, this year, 7, so far:

But they are awesome; great color and phenotype on the golf-ball sized pods!

Hey, buddy.  Thanks for the kind words!
 

The c. rhomboidium has a zillion little green pods on it:

The bees seem to love it:

Nice rhombodium. Mine is nearly.9 months mm no buds
..
Pods looking good... wish I could join the NW chili meet up. ...
 
All those pod shots... :shocked:
That's a lot of victory right there Paul!
 
Cool to see the Cabe Gendot.  How different are those from a Red Rocoto in taste? 
 
Beautiful shots and an awesome year for you!
 
Just got caught up Paul. Fantastic pics. Plants look amazing as usual. Bonchi is looking good. Do you get pods to set on her?
Inca Lost sounds like a winner. Congrats on another great season. Always enjoy your Glogs.

Have a great weekend.

Chuck
 
Hey Paul. Awesome chiles as usual. I have only checked out the last couple pages, but once again, your growing skills are so impressive! I had a feeling this hot/dry season we have going on would be good for your plants. Your Primo shots really got me jonsing for fresh superhots again. Please bring some of those gorgeous Primos to the Fest. Looking forward to seeing you again my friend. 
 
Hey Paul,
 
Looks like things are going beautifully as usual.
 
It's been awhile. Glad your still kicking butt!

My Rhombo came from 1fowlone at last year's NWCF,
so it's at least 12 months old!  Started podding in serious
at 10-11 months.  Hang in there Denniz!
 
Nice culinary peppers; Brown Eggs and Cabe Gendot (last small pods):

Thanks, Andy - never really had a good red rocoto tasting.  
 
I do have some Red Rococo seeds from Peru our friend
brought back in late Spring.
 
Thanks for the visit and kind words, Andy.
 
Got a fistful of Black Pearls:

Thanks, brother.  The season has been good to us here in PNW so far:
 
The summer heat has produced a bounty of large Datil pods:

Hey Richard, definitely bringing up some Primos, buddy!
 
Hope your schedule works out so you can hang out for a while.

Sorry I've been a stranger, Scott!  
 
Your Red Habaneros are awesome.  Going to harvest a few more in a day
or two and will show pics; they may be bigger than the last round!
 
Hot weather has really kicked the Thai into high gear:

No way can I get caught up here, Paul, but it's nice to see you're getting a decent harvest.

Don't even try, brother!
 
I'm the worst for visiting grow logs, myself.

 I second or third what the others have said . Beautonimous 
 
Oh, Jamie, you are so generous!  Remember, some of the
seed came from pods you sent me in 2012!
 
turbo said:
Wow, your peppers look awesome!  I really like the JA Red Mushrooms
 
Thanks, Turbo!  Actually the JA red mushrooms have a little
heat this season.  Two seasons ago, they had none.

Yes, it is, Jeremy Anthony (my apologies!)!  Thanks for the kind words.
 
For the first time in 4 seasons, I have a decent setting of Manzanos.  We'll be
eating some this weekend!  The seed came from Shane (stc3248) in 2012, these
are the 4th generation of this line.  Looks like I'll get about 30 pods in all:

Will be posting up some more pod pics shortly.
