A rack full of Ghost peppers, with a few Habaneros sprinkled in, ready for drying. That is a dehydrator rack but for now I am using the dashboard of my car to dry them out. Last time I checked it was 135 degrees inside and at that temperature it takes 1-2 days for the Ghosts and 2-3 days for the Habaneros. For now no Tabascos go out to dry. Any ripe ones I pick go directly into a jar that will end up as bottles of Tabasco sauce.

Do you dehydrate those peppers whole?
I have about 8 different varieties of hot peppers right now and usually I cut them up and freeze them but I would love to use my dehydrator on them!

Looks great! Thanks for the seeds. I got damping off on the first few I tried to germinate. A little research and I discovered that the ghost pepper can have as much as a thirty day period to germinate so this time I am doing three seeds in a “chinese food” tray with lid instead of directly into a 1 inch tray. That should keep the fungus and gnat larvae out until they are ready to go. Wish me luck.
Septoria spot is really eating up my potatoes, tomatoes and peppers and it looks like I am going to have to start using chemicals. If I only knew how important it was I would have put clean straw mulch under everything from the beginning. It probably would have saved me a lot.
