    Just heard that a new pepper will be hitting the market soon called "Dragon's Breath". Suppose to be the hottest pepper ever :)

    If anyone knows where I can get some seeds please let me know.

    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.

    @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!

    Your peppers look great, I'm sure they are loving the heat wave.

    Wait. You guys are into summer already??
    Dammit. I definitely live in the wrong place.

    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.

    edited June 2017
    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."

    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 :)

    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.

    @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  :D

    Man those elk are just crazy and their like 10ft. away from your truck! Good thing ruttin season is over.

    That's great, Allan.

    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 :)

    My oleander is blooming nicely and the fragrance is astounding. 


    Hope you washed your hands good!!! That plant/shrub is extremely poisonous. Looks nice though.

    So I've been told.  I find that eating a couple blossoms gets me a great buzz w/o killing me.  ;-)

    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.
    A little dirt never hurt

    You're doing better than me, Randy. I took a page from the Metallica album "Kill Em All."

    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
