Is a big crash coming? July 29th is one predicted date where earnings calls may spell the downfall of Ai.
Still getting a few peppers this summer when the temps drop from afternoon and nighttime thunderstorms this random pepper grew up in my hedge 🌶️
Dendrobium crumenatum - thunderstorm orchids going crazy on this Live Oak tree. 🌴 #orchid
My Father's day gifts from my bestest daughter. She knows me so well. Mead, hot sauce, and Dungeon Crawler Carl merch. #fathersday
My spring season has ended...these are some of the last stragglers. 🌶️ #hotpeppers #hybridpeppers
Two phenos of the same cross. These are three way cross of Brazilian Starfish x Habanero Adalberto x Aji Rainforest. The red is an F4 and the Orange is an F3. 🌶️ #peppercrosses
I grew these labeled as Fried Chicken Pepper, which they obviously aren't... but I also have Bahamian Goat growing so I thought maybe I messed up the tags, but no,after a taste these have almost zero heat. Nada, zilch. I ate a whole pepper and it was just like a seasoning pepper. 🌶️
Today's harvest with lots of Primotalii. Luckily I have two co-workers who like to make sauce and salsa so most of these will go to them. 🌶️
Today's harvest pulled a lot of my evergreen habanero hybrids and a few Datils. Also Aji Inca Berry XL and a couple Hungarian Black. 🌶️
Today's rogue's gallery. One Black Hungarian, two Fried Chicken, two Buena Mulata, and Two Unknown Superhots that I call BRS. 🌶️ #superhotpeppers
Mid-week harvest time. Lots of Primotalii in here. 🌶️ These I pulled yesterday and today. Last harvest was on Friday. My season is ending soon...
Here's another weird phenotype of Ghostbird. This one looks like a scorpion but points upwards when developing. 🌶️
I made two potentially successful crosses this year, both on Murasaki Purple. The first crossed with Aji Inca Berry XL and the second was crossed with Primotalii. The Primotalii cross doesn't look viable, the pepper is a runt, so I'm not sure it will produce viable offspring. 🌶️
My pepper patch. 34 plants are in this area, with another 7 nearby out of frame. These range from 4" to 25 gallon size. 🌶️ Next year I'm downsizing, I swear. 😂
Our King's Crepe Myrtle - Lagerstroemia macrocarpa - is blooming again. 🌴
The sidewalks are going into the new Centennial Palmetum 🌴 at Flamingo Gardens 🌴
My Indian Clock Vine - Thunbergia mysorensis is flowering now. I really need to build a proper arbor for this thing. 🌴
