Hot sauce season i make up new recipe variations some very hot others more palatable for the less insane.

I always name my sauces, this one Bulgarian Cannon Fire
Others named in the past 25 years-
Capt’n Insanos Flaming Death Peppers
Whisker Sauce
Aji Moto
I have fun

I bought some Chocolate Bhutlah and Brazilian Starfish pepper seeds. Didn't get them planted this year but my plan is to make them into a hot sauce and call it "Flaming Chocolate Starfish" then design some horrible merchandise

Yea that one's a "superhot" it will probably be 99% Starfish, 1% Chocolate. I have decent collection of superhot seeds, including a naturalized to northern Florida Trinidad scorpion that's been living in a compost pile and hasn't died over winter, I think the guy I got it from said 4 or 5 years it's been wild.

Do you overwinter it in a greenhouse?

I thought I had some of those seeds, turns out I have aji charapita, similar tiny pepper. I can't miss the boat this year, gotta get seeds started in January.

If you want a chili to be a perennial you have to bring them indoors for the winter, not necessarily a greenhouse. Prune them back and leave them near a window.

Ok on flavor, I think I'll do some later with more developed natural sugars. This came out fine with the low sugar pectin though. We'll see what the kids think.

End of the tomato season for me.
Rain is coming this week so pulled the plug today. Decent season after a slow start.

Do you have good luck getting those green ones to ripen after picked?

Do you have good luck getting those green ones to ripen after picked?

Yes, I just put them on the window sill.
Some will go to the neighbors to do the same.

Clean them first. Any with a blemish will usually rot before ripening. Put them in a paper sack out of the way. Check every 4-5 days and you'll be pleased how good they can be. Don't let the culls linger, get them out of there before they ruin everything...

Single layer works best for us.
Ripening occurs with ethylene gas, so apples or other fruits that ripen via ethylene gas can all be kept together for efficiency.
A light cover over things concentrates the gas...so ripening is faster.

I was saving this little 60” x 8”x 9” deep planter box for Lillie to dig. But Jeanne’s grandkids have not been around very often. I saw a break in the rain and dug them up. Growing since late June. One looks like an octopus missing some legs.

Carrots are about the only crop that consistently work for me. I've about finished my April patch. I also planted a crop, in June, that I'll eat all Winter. Carrots keep well left right in the ground if you keep the bulb top covered. Lasted me through Spring last year..

Yeah i decided to dig them and plant arugula, tatsoi and biennial broc all will germinate and grow into the winter season and broc beyond it

A couple days ago I moved some potted lemon aji’s into the greenhouse, turned on grow lights and an oil filled heater on low and picked these off one of the plants. Lights go on at about 8am and off right after dusk
