It's hard to explain to someone who doesn't grow vegetables/fruits how exhilarating it is to walk outside and see your first ripe pod. Congratulations.

Gratz yup she looks ready to pick ......if that a regular TS or Butch T ?

Tim - Indeed. Fortunately my wife and kids all enjoy gardening (not hot peppers though), so they "get it".

Armageddon - It's actually a 7 Pot. :) I am keeping my eyes open for some Butch T seeds for next season.

Looking good mbellot!

Perfect illustration of pod variation in 7 Pots etc.

Let us know how it tastes.

Very nice! :-)

congrats I had mine ripen last week I almost cried because at one point I thought I had a black thumb and killed the plant. haha

Bill - Took it to lunch today (tostada Wednesday at the local Mexican place), the owner is a bit of a chilehead too.

Only three of us were brave/stupid enough to try a small piece.

The flavor was nice, my initial impression is has a more pleasant flavor than a Bhut. Shortly after the flavor was the heat. It started slow but built fast and lingered for a good ten minutes or more.

Should make for some good eats. :)

On a side note, I think I've pulled off a minor miracle thanks to the god awful hot weather. I had two 7 Pot Douglahs I started from your seed back in January that I killed in May. I figured what the heck, dropped another seed in a a pot and started it directly outside.

Yesterday I noticed it has a pod growing on it. Three months from seed to pod, not too bad for a super hot. Now I play the waiting game hoping it will grow and ripen before frost hits.
