step 1 in the coffee upgrades of 2025: a sub to Perc Coffee. highly recommended in the internets, but I hadn't heard of them before a week ago.

Its difficult to get great beans in a small town so until I start roasting again (2025 goals), I was happy to find a good direct mail subscription vs something like Trade.

it ain't over until I say it's over.

featuring my first (and probably only) Purple Peach Reaper.

almost 300 days to ripe fruit is crazy.

now is when peppers kick into high gear around here. a race against the 1st frost but looks like I'll have a few more weeks of this, at least.

hitting some grails now with my first Gator Jigsaw Purple. took longer than the gold reaper so my math says it must be even hotter.

my 1st Carolina reaper (golden) is almost ready. I'm not even sure what to do with it. I grew these as a challenge, to see if I could. but...now what? 😂

9 months from seed.

to follow up on over wintered peppers...

yes, even though they start very slow, year 2 peppers are almost comically prolific. I have 4 overwintered peppers that all look like this.

we're moving past the hot hots to the entry level super hots. here's my first ripe Pockmark Peach. lightly variable pheno as these were probably F5 seeds, absolutely gorgeous, heading towards 850k-1m+ SHU.

it's powder szn.

directly into the dehydrator.

left: purple murupi

right: supposed to be Khang Starr pumpkin habanero but I think it got crossed with something. tastes like a lemon citrus hab and it's awesome. Will save seeds if the powder is as awesome as they are fresh.
it takes so long to grow super hots.

seeds started in February. Here in 6a I legit have to wonder if these will ripen before the fall nights kick in later in October.

Gator Jigsaw Purple. (ripens to a deep purple/red blend)

Scoville 1.5 million+

it was almost 2 months for this Mattapeño X mutant jalapeño to ripen. like a small cherry bomb pepper, but one of the most gorgeous plants in the yard. starting deep purple, the a long stage back to green, the first pepper is finally ripened to red.

I love Matt's Peppers, the coolest crosses you can buy online.

I'm really not sure overwintering peppers is worth the effort yet. here is a chocolate habanero that took a very long time to restart, but it's catching up to my 1st year plants very quickly. neat how most of the plant definitely died but it's still holding on by one limb. yield will decide if I do this again.
https://imagedelivery.net/BXluQx4ige9GuW0Ia56BHw/9e67c7fd-5c55-45de-292c-97e365400400/original
going to give these to my line cooks today to find out how hot everything is 😂

ltr:
cayennetta
Purple murupi
jalafuego

zapotec
PJs blue ice
pockmark peach

everything is a little under ripe but it's getting close.

🍅 for scale.

starting to feel like summer.

and the truth is, I won't grow these larger tomatoes again. both dwarfs I grew (orions belt & boxers rebellion), had problems keeping alive, upright, and had poor yields despite tons of green tomatoes.

these micro dwarf cherries are awesome tho. some issues but that's user error.

Honestly this one is just scary to look at as they get bigger.

Purple Murupi.

will start to add spots of peach/pink when ripe.
https://imagedelivery.net/BXluQx4ige9GuW0Ia56BHw/bcb98df9-4993-44d1-9700-7acfaa16cc00/original
an early contender for best shape this year might be the Crushed Heart. a large plum tomato great for all uses. I have much more unique purple tomatoes but this wavy boi has stolen my heart a bit.

it's about to get spicy in here. baby Purple Murupi.

notice I'm still dealing with some leaf damage from sluggy bois but I'm starting to win the battle.

support your tomatoes properly or you might literally watch it split in half down the stem from its own weight. a cautionary tale after celebrating how many tomatoes these dwarfs have yesterday 😂

it might be a 2 foot tall dwarf plant but there's nothing small about these bunches, all over it.

really feel like basket / microdwarf toms will blow up soon if it becomes easier to get your hands on them.

I'm losing the battle to gastropods.

these 2 reapers were once the same size. the rear purple/peach reaper I was most excited for..

coffee ground weren't enough.
beer caught dozens of slugs daily but not enough.

applied kaolin clay last night as last resort. I have ~6 pepper plants I'm hoping to save, let's seeee.
