Second harvest and we may get a third one if the weather holds for another few weeks.
Season notes:
MVP: the purple gator jigsaw. I got the seeds from Matt’s Peppers and both of the plants I kept for myself were enormous (over 7 feet tall) beautiful, crazy productive and fairly early for a super hot. Will grow again for sure and highly recommend to anyone. Really nice flavor and the pods are breathtaking. Heat level above ghosts.
Favorite pods:
…and still!!! Chocolate Habanero. I love this variety. Love. The look, the orange inside, the smell, the flavor and most of all the heat profile. It’s unlike anything else I’ve tried yet. Warms the whole mouth like wood heat in a cabin. Manageable so I can eat a lot of it. I put it in everything and make sauce with it. Next year I’m growing 10.
Jay’s Peach Ghost Scorpion is my favorite new variety. It’s so flippin tasty! It does make me pay later on (no stomach cramps but the other revenge) but I’ll pay the price while they are fresh. They were the latest to ripen which is a bummer but still well worth the wait. Seeds also from Matt’s peppers.
Khang Starr Lemon Starburst. I love these also. I got the seeds from Matt’s Peppers and although they are not on pheno for shape they live up to the hype for taste.
Honorable mentions:
Fatalli x yellow Brain Strain. Productive, tasty, early and very manageable heat below habanero.
Robb’s Folly. I loved growing these because I’m a big 7 Pot Club fan and it was fun to do. I got two seeds for free from Matt’s Peppers when I ordered and it was the push I needed to get seeds from Matt which was a great success. If you follow Robb’s channel you know this is an unstable cross from his amazing front yard garden. I got a single plant that sprouted and it was a throwback recessive to one of the parents! I don’t like the fruit much tbh, but it was absolutely laden with little tomato cherry size and shaped pods.
Shishito. Delicious.
Not for me: I finally tried two scotch bonnet varieties—yellow and safi. They were productive but o didn’t care for the taste or heat profile much, especially the safi which had an unpleasant heat for me. Easy to sell, though!

Mini pumpkins for everyone!!
Nice haul!
Dig in, kids!
How are your pods so big
1.) Those are some big peppers and nice plants.
2.) Holy shit
3.) This is the candy for this year right?
Love the review. Thanks.
And where do we go to trick or treat?!!!!
Karen, why are the neighbours kids crying?
Uhhhh, if I do a trick can I still get a pepper?
I’m coming to your place for Halloween! 
Can I ask more about chocolate habaneros? I love heat but really I put habanero in EVERYTHING for the flavor. I’ve only had orange and red, and prefer the orange.
Does the chocolate or any variety have more of that flavor?
Truly a stunning collection of peppers and what a vibrant melange of colors!
