2019 Carolina Reapers

[SmokinVOLfan]

Man those are going to be good. I got started too late this year to do any. But you know I'll gladly take any leftovers you have after the harvest

 

[DanMcG]

My reapers are going crazy after the last heat wave and rain.

 

[bluewhisper]

My ghosts have plenty of pods but they're all still green. My habs are nothing to brag about.

 

[DanMcG]

6 reapers in the one batch? I hope it's a big batch.

care to share the self watering pots Idea?

The fruits look wicked on mine and some are pointy but not a stinger like @danmcg.

 

[dr k]

Here's my buckets. These get watered on Sunday and take about 3 quarts. The herb garden built in a galvanized wash tub and the poinsettia peppers in clay pots get watered every other day if not every day when really hot.

Next season the wash tub is getting converted to self watering.

Gee guys lucky you. We had a storm downed trees in my yard and right on top of my pepper plants the chocolate habaneros.

That sucks Warren, If ya need some reapers let me know. It looks like I'm going to have a bumper crop.

Yikes! I'll stick with my Thai birds eye peppers. That's enough. But I DO like the watering system. Thanks for the info.

This so batch so far. Already had one cut. Made pineapple and reaper hot sauce

 

[DanMcG]

This is the first real harvest of reapers, depending on the weather I might get a couple more this season.

 

[DanMcG]

Ha, I couldn't figure out why my original post didn't show up on here.....then I realized there are two reaper posts going on. Sorry for the double post.

 

[dr k]

These two plants are perpetually flowering/fruiting with fruits at different stages. Big harvest this year.

Those are amazing looking plants.

So what are you all doing with your peppers? I ask because I have a few dozen dried and I love the top end heat stuff, yet I find myself lacking inspiration as to what to do with them.

Plus I'd like to grow my own next year, but I'll be left with more peppers that I'm not sure what do do with.

I'll be giving most of mine away, or selling them. I'm not a real big fan of super hots.

I use mind for a dry rub also I make a mango, reaper salsa, and different kinds of hot sauce.
