Apartment Garden Update 5

Time to eat the cayenne! After watching this pepper quickly grow and then seemingly do nothing for a couple of weeks to turning completely red in a few days. I'm drying the rest of it to see if that helps. I also have 5 other cayennes on that plat. I will let them ripen a bit longer as this was not even remotely hot.

advise for you if you want them hotter; Let them grow darker red, you picked it too soon. If you leave it there for longer you'll get a mouth numbing feeling. GOOD LUCK!

@MegaFoozi After letting them dry and grinding them up they now have a bit more zing. The flavor is AMAZING though. It was my first pepper to ripen this year. I had to try it! Thanks for you comment!

Thsi is pretty awsome! Glad no passerby stole it ;) AHHAHAHHAHA..he eats it! I did that too with my first pepper ;)

@jihadacadien I would have left it for a few days longer but I was worries someone would steal my first pepper! I would have been heart broken! The pepper was surprisingly not hot, I will let the other five peppers on that plant ripen a bit longer. I am drying out the pepper I took a bit of though. Maybe I make paprika out of it!

[jihadacadien]

@covertcriminal Cool! I hear the less hardship a pepper has the less spicy it will be. but the variety helps too. Still awsome to grow this in the city!

@jihadacadien Thanx!

I weirdly love seeing other peoples gardens grow. I have a ton of things growing at the moment but anticipating for my four little cayenne plants to get bigger so I can finally cook with them. I used to have one that had tons of chilis on it but never any as huge as yours.

I removed the comment because I was asking you to eat the chili, but later found out you did, lol
