I try to stay away from this thread as it is dangerously close to work, but I must say well done to everyone and thanks for sharing your beautiful pictures and stories

It’s that time of year:

Saw this beautiful thing on this morning’s walk. Turns out it’s a “silver cock’s comb”. Okay then

@goosehd are those Carolina Reapers? If so, I have grown them before too. I didnt know what to do with them all so I dehydrated them and ground 'em up. Used in place of red pepper flakes. What do you use them for? Such a beautiful crimson red.

@Oaktavia reapers and ghost peppers. I do the same with dehydrating and grinding to flakes. Then share them with other pepper enthusiasts…

Last year’s batch was pretty hot (ghosts, reapers, and habaneros). I like the habanero pepper for extra volume/flavour and to decrease the overall heat threshold to something manageable.

@goosehd right on man that makes me want to try to grow some more next year! Really cool, thanks for sharing.

Last weekend harvested sicilian lemons (that is what everyone calls them here) from 3 plants in a friend’s rural cottage. They all went to another buddy who will turn them into limoncello. Those things smell INCREDIBLE while you pluck them off the plant!

You can barely see some of the ripe lemons over the top of the bike’s handlebar

We don’t get these at home so they are quite impressive en masse.
