Bagging is described here. I've tried all kinds of different methods and to me, the critical point is when the seedlings outgrow the initial pot and you have to repot them. Then you realize that there must be good ways and not so good ways to get them started. If you're like me, and not so clever, you'll do crosses with multiple pollen parents of very different sizes (say B. distachia with Cryptanthus, Neo and with Portea) on one stigma and then you'll be trying to pop out the huge seedlings (xPorteas?) while leaving the other much smaller ones undisturbed.

first ripe pod of the year

That pod was maybe 3 inches. Big maybe. It was labeled as birdseye when I got them but now I'm confused. I got 2 different "birdseye" from 2 different places....one looks like the first pod I posted and the other looks like an elongated hot cherry. The pods on both plants grow up. Which is the real birdseye?

got home from my trip only to find ripe pods

thanks for the support guys. I made chicken curry last night and dropped a thai in the pot to add some heat. the wife and I were quite disappointed by how hot it was, so we just diced up the hab and mixed it in. of course I had to try it by itself, so I just ate about a quarter of the hab on its own. it was really good, up until I wiped my eye later in the night. I really thought I had washed my hands well enough. lesson learned. I was so excited that my ghost finally set a pod. so when I got home from work, of course the first thing I did was go try to see if it had gotten any bigger. but I couldn't find it. ...until I looked on the ground under the plant. looks like I spoke too soon. though on the plus side the hab is beginning to have lil baby buds starting to be visible again. they're a good month away from becoming pods, but at least there's still hope that it'll turn around and become a champ again. now all they gotta do is survive the 2-3 hr ride in the moving truck.

First (almost) ripe pod!
Q

Thanks Jamie (just saw your "real" name). DH pulled all the rocks out 3 years ago then doubled the size of the garden last fall, we've been liming it and adding composted wood chips from highway dept and compost from our kitchen when we had it (but only moved in 4 yrs ago so not much). It tested pretty good on everything. Wish my tomato patch down by the pond was as good but we just started that this spring and didn't have it amended (I did get about 60 gal of UCG from Starbucks) enough by June when I planted. Soil is really rocky and acid, low in N around here. About the only thing that likes it are wild berries. I picked a HH pod this AM - something had eaten a hole in the side :-( But the 1 cayenne is nearly ripe - I'm picking that tomorrow for DH to add to the salsa I made. Oh, I did have aphids when I brought the plants home from greenhouse (could have gotten varieties mixed up when I was "quarantining" some) but strong spray of water got rid of most of those (plus squishing). That whole left-hand row of smaller plants near the tomatoes are "rescues" from my cousin who had them sitting in the weeds by the greenhouse - they were potbound and yellow, sorry-looking things. I also have 6 HP and 6 jals I rescued from Agaway and have repotted 2x now, looking pretty good by side of garage (used a little neptune's harvest on them the last repotting), I'll move them into garage tomorrow and may plant them out next week if the garden gets trashed this w/e. Where are you? Hope Irene leaves you alone!

I'm growing Trinidad seasoning for the first time this year. I hope I like it as much as you like the Trinidad perfume. Pods look great. I'm sure they are the first of many.

Thanks Tim! You as well.

I have one in a container and one in-ground. My in-ground has about 20 pods on it! That bottom one was the only ripe one and it literally ripened over night. I'm sure they will all be yellow soon!

Yep, with all this hot weather were having, the plants are really taking off now. Looking forward to the taste of those.

I have not tried the Jimmy Nardello. How is the taste? Grew Big Jim once but reminded me a of a mildly spicy bell pepper. Probably too use to heat to eat mild ones unless they have good flavor. LOL

Ronny: What??? I absolutely detest green bells and absolutely love Anaheims. I thought MY taste buds were off due to all the smoking. Apparently, yours are WAY off...lol :P
