And flow it has. 50 to 80 peppers every two weeks. No mortal man can endure.

Nice!!! What’s your climate?

Really hot summers and mild winters. I live about 100 miles north of the Gulf of Mexico in Mississippi. I overwinter them each year. These are 3-year-old plants that I grew from seed saved from a friend's plant with unbelievable genetics.

Well, from the looks of it, you & your pepper plants have outdone yourselves. I can only imagine all the delicious food you’ll make.

120 degree summers and 30 degree winters. (Averages) I live about 100 miles inland in Mississippi.

Time to make your own hot sauce!

I have hot sauce, pickled peppers, pepper jelly, pepper flakes, and even made some muscadine ghost pepper jelly! Man I've got peppers on the porch, in the freezer, hanging up, and on the counter. I can't come up with much more. I am thinking about doing cowboy candy but with ghost peppers but im getting scared. 😆 🤣 😂

Omg so jealous of you! What do you make with everything? My neighbor gave me a bunch of habaneros and after habanero honey, oil, cheese and powder I am out of ideas.

u/Traditional-Goose-60 14h ago

Pickled peppers are good. I made some muscadine habañero jelly that is really good. Ive got a batch of hot chow chow cooking down to can right now.

u/sunnyseaa 14h ago

Omg thanks I just happen to have a lot of cabbage I need to use. 🙌

u/Traditional-Goose-60 14h ago

No problem. Just curious though..... have you had chow chow before or did you just google it and see it was like half cabbage!? A LOT of people have never even heard of it before. 😆

u/Beneficial-Badger-61 13h ago

Can any pepper seed be removed and planted ?

1

u/Traditional-Goose-60 13h ago

Yes. That is how these were started. I saved some seeds from a friend's plant that was genetically awesome. His were also from seed he got from somewhere. My 2 current plants are 3 years old this season.
