Had frost last night. Glad I picked these jalapenos, Bell and poblano peppers.

We are going to be 15-20 degrees below normal next week. Lows in the high 40's and highs in the low 60's or high 50's. But I'm guessing I have at least a month or two of pepper growing season left. I've got some young stuff coming along. I thought I only had one hab'ish and the deer ate it, but it looks like I had another one after all.

Speaking of deer ate, I saved this Cayenne from the garden into a grow bag. It had been protected by briars when the deer ate the rest of the peppers. After only three or four days it's already starting to perk up.



This is all the hots. (I only have four sweets left. A couple of the older ones that had been in three gallons pots crashed and burned after a month or so in the bags)

Like everyone else, I am pulling all my things for incoming hostile temperatures. I'm working on labels for my fall batch of hot sauces.

My poor-man's dehydrator.
My ancient dehydrator finally died and I decided to try the warming drawer in the oven.
It'll keep the temp around 130f. I put a small fan in to create a little air movement.
It works just as well as the dedicated dehydrator ever did.
Adding the fan was key; it shortened the drying time in half.

It's always dicey to try and grow peppers for me. They get going, then it cools down right when fruits start to set and everything slows way down. I get some vine-ripe ones, but I typically have to pick them at first blush and then let then ripen off the vine. That's why I tend to grow things like jalapeños, habaneros and serranos. My wife has good luck with Anaheims and poblanos. My Carolina Reaper plant is healthy but the fruits are small and still very green. I'm hoping to get a few....mmmmmaybe.

I've been growing hot peppers since I was a teen, ultra-hots for the past decade or so. I've found they mature a few weeks slower than habaneros but by mid August they're producing more fruits than I can handle. I did have one Reaper this year that lagged behind the others so maybe there's a lot of variability, but I can usually count on getting fruits in ~100 days.

I picked what looked ready before the low temps set in, the super hots are still cranking out peppers as fast as I pick them, it’s crazy how the long dry spell we had here changed the growing season completely.
