There is also a report out that this pepper can kill you. It is a hybrid that came about because of an accidental and unanticipated result of looking for a hybrid flower.
I always plant the largest of my ghost peppers in a pot and give it extra attention. This one is doing great and is already starting to flower. This one should reach 3-4 feet tall in the next month or so
Strawberries are doing great. Lots of flowers. Can't wait
Planted my habanero peppers in this bed with a few strawberry plants. So far so good
Planted the rest of the ghost peppers here and had a few basil volunteer plants come up with a few sunflowers.
Weather is taking a turn and its going to be 101 today and will hit 107 on Wednesday. Summer is here
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt
@WaterNerd, Your cigar plant is going bonkers back behind the ghost pepper in the first pic, even got the purple on the ends of the blooms, mine don't do well, deer keep eating them and everything else, got another in a pot on the deck but it looks nothing like your cigar plant.
Your all your plants look great man!
If you quote me do the @TX98Z28 in your text or I won't be notified of your quote, Thanks.
Wait. You guys are into summer already?? Dammit. I definitely live in the wrong place.
People say this place is hell, but hell is warmer and dryer.
No, your in the right place. I'd gladly trade weather with you or for warmer and dryer. 97 here today heat index 111, no wind or breeze. It only gets worse, this is just the beginning. It's the super high humidity and no wind mixed with the heat that kills me.

The other day, we spent a couple hours cleaning up the storm damage. Branches of trees everywhere and water all over.
This is freakin June! The monsoons are supposed to have let up by now. And it's barely hitting 60 degrees.
It's like someone was making the earth and went, let's make a place so freakin wet, only the crap they don't want to grow, will. Oh and make it so that the summer weather is just warm enough to make some things grow, but not the good stuff, like watermelon, citrus and all of that. But apples, lots of apples will grow. But they will hardly get any, cause the elk and deer will eat them all. They will live on Salmon, venison and apples.
Sounds great, at first. But 150-170 days into the rain, you'll be like "Crap! Make it stop!!"
Even the weather man is like, "I got nothing. More rain. Sorry." Or you ask Alexa or Google, What's the forcast for tomorrow? And the response is, "What, are you stupid? It's gonna rain again. Dumbass."
In Fumo Pax Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.

Thank you. I took a class on Plant Cutting back in 2015 at UCR and this was my first project. It has done great here and the humming birds just love it. Funny thing is I never know it was called a Cigar Plant

Good stuff there Allan @WaterNerd ! Your peppers look great, I'm sure they are loving the heat wave.
Already getting flowers on several of the Ghost pepper plants. I'm taking per-orders on fresh pods (no charge of course just enjoy sharing what I grow). If your interested PM me and I'll put you on the list

Before you trade anything come visit Reno in the summer. 103 with 0 percent humidity literally burns the nose when you inhale. I would take Texas in July over Reno in August (I have been to Tx in July)

@WaterNerd, Yep thats one hell of a cigar plant you got growing. I believe thats the large variety, I had one in a bed but it died, the smaller less invasive variety planted the deer pillage, along with the roses and everything else. The one on the deck I'll take a picture of tomorrow to show the difference.
@0patience, I hear you on the never ending rain. Last year we had the 1000 year flood and the house nearly flooded, with that in mind I take back the trade.
@Wylaff, Im no stranger to 100+ with extra low to no humidity. Uncle has a farm in NW Colorado in the middle of know where, been up there during harvest in July. Was 109+ one year, I couldn't put on enough lotion or shoot enough saline up my nose.

Just a few pict of our garden. Eating mustard greens,chard,radishes,arugula,oak leaf and butter crunch lettuce. Squash, pole beans, potatoes,and cukes should start making in a couple of weeks.
@0patience, And I thought the possum king I shot last night was a problem…well that and the next door neighbor yelled "@sshole" at me after I pumped 4 heavy 12ga. loads of #4 into him, she probably spilled her wine all over the place
Man those elk are just crazy and their like 10ft. away from your truck! Good thing ruttin season is over.

Took some photos of my peppers after work today. They are loving this heat and starting to bloom Going to get a great crop of ghost peppers with year with 12 plants!
Had some basil pop up in the middle (2). Love the smell and tastes excellent! 5 pepper plants in this bed with lots of room for them to grow
Lot going on in this bed. 5 pepper plants and several strawberry plants that are trying to take over the bed. I also have some "Yellow Bells" growing that I started from seed and will be transplanted this weekend
These strawberry plants are from Mexico and are doing amazing and producing great tasting strawberries.
I always pick out the best ghost pepper seedling and put it in this pot. Already have a few peppers on this one
Peter @peter4jc Going to send you a few pods so you can test them out for me and make sure they are hot
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt
My experience planting peppers this year can be best described as "failure to launch." My daughter has taken over my infrastructure for her basil, mint, and pea plants.

Those basil plants are a first for me. Going to dry up a bunch so I can use them later. They taste great fresh. Made some homemade marinara sauce that was amazing. Even the kids liked it

Allan was kind enough to send me a selection of pepper seeds early this spring and I have managed to kill every one of them except this single ghost pepper. The Sketchy cigar stand is there for scale. Maybe I will just stick with cactus.

Keep at it Randy. You just need one Keep it watered and in full sun. Try to keep the bugs off of it and you should been good. They are slow growers

Well, not so much, they destroyed all kinds of stuff. LOL!
