Where did you pick them up?

Hat's off to HEB for getting some good plants in this year. The hatch plant I bought came loaded down already. I'd like to find a Scorpion plant, been keeping my eyes open for one or two..

They make for some good hot sauce

Also, the Ghost and Reaper HEB plants I got are also both actively growing pods right now. Pretty nice to see that, again, for $10 each.

Who cares you have an electric vehicle.

The car doesn't tow the toy hauler though. I drove the truck this weekend, 600 miles with no fill up. I give it another 20 years before low scale electric towing becomes viable. I still burn through ~70 gallons of diesel a month with the car vs 170-200 gallons before I bought it.

How many peppers will each of these HEB plants bear while they're young?

It depends. Mine don't like 90-100 degree weather. They will drop the blooms, but when it cools off to high 80's to low 90's they really take off. Between my reaper and habanero I had 2 1 gallon zip lock full.

I recently read that some pepper growers started putting up shade nets over their plants during the heat of the summer. Something about the temperature at the root system being too hot will slow down or even stall growth/production. So they still get sunlight, but not direct sunlight all day long.

Also, leaving some leaves at the base of the plant, rather than pruning them can be a good thing to keep shade on the soil during the day.

Seems to make sense

Some of my Reapers:

Got 3 bottles of this on pre-order... Co-worker got some and it's delicious.

Nice, while I don’t have a serious pepper game like y’all, my garden is producing very well so far.

Roma tomatoes
Sweet corn
Zucchini
Green beans
Broccoli
Red grapes
Cucumbers
Jalepeño peppers

The zucchini is a great substitute for starches like bread and potatoes, trying to make better choices :/

My wife likes to used "spiraled zucchini" in place of pasta noodles for her new diet. Actually not bad at all.
