What possessed me to think that doing a hot pepper Diddy Kong Racing speedrun challenge was a good idea? 🌶️ 🔥
Some of this year’s Carolina reaper harvest. They literally look scary—like the orange handle on a diner coffee carafe, nature’s way of saying, “Do not eat.”
I grow these for fun. I can only use them by processing into “insanity pepper” flakes and adding micrograms to make soup spicy. #hotpepper
Jax beer! It was big back then, all through that area. Long out of business now.
Mom's home country. Her sister owned and operated a beer bar not far from here.
Mystery #hotpepper in our #garden, unknown variety given the marker has been absconded by a rogue critter or lost to the elements.
A de Neyde #hotpepper from our #garden. These ripen to a dark purple / near black. First time growing them, and we're loving the look of the pods! Some sites have these at 100K-250K SHU, but we don't really know what to expect.

Peppers on a plant labelled Bode I got from the fantastic, ever enthusiastic, Hot Pepper Lady. Beautiful clusters of cherry sized goodness.

Look how pretty this pepper is. First bite was very bell pepper with a bit of something sharp. I told Dan to try it. While he was taking a bite, I realized it had a very delayed heat, and it wasn't going away. It's duller, but 15 min later i can still feel it. #hotpepper
Anyone able to help identify this chilli plant? It’s the one I lost the label to in the spring. I haven’t tried one yet so not sure how hot they are. #Chilli #HotPepper
