The Reaper is there as well!
Sorry guys, just a little humor! But seriously, I have a little over 3 pounds of Golden ghost peppers that I harvested from my garden, along with a couple of red ghost peppers, and one Carolina reaper pepper.
I'm currently waiting on the rest of the red ghost and reapers to ripen, but I've already picked 2 pounds of golden ghost prior to this bunch and I still have at least another 3 pounds waiting to ripen before I pick them. All this from three plants!
The golden variety is a little less hot that the red, but they still leave my mouth burning for at least 20 minutes.
Most will be dried out and made into a powder for ribs or seasonings, but some I plan on using to make hot sauce.
The reapers on the other hand will be dried and used to keep my neighbors cars and other outdoor critters out of my yard/garden.
I also have a bunch of other pepper and chilies that I have harvest as well. Most are a sweet variety that I can use in different dishes that my wife and daughter can easily eat.
In total, I planted over 50 pepper plants. Some did very well, while others did so so. Most are still not ready to harvest.
The two jalapeno plants did well also. I harvested a little under 10 pounds of jalapenos. The two pictures show both harvest.
The bell peppers didn't do well at all, but I suspect that they didn't get enough sun due to two very large tomatoe plants my wife planted near them. The tomatoes certainly made up for the lack of bell peppers though. We harvested nearly 100 pound of tomatoes.
I currently have about 11 pounds of tomatoes to use, seen in the last picture, with some still on the plants not ready to pick.
Anyone else have a large harvest this summer?
