“Five years ago you posted my attempt to grow insanity peppers in Mt Pleasant for my fiancee. I had more luck this year (we are in NE now). The peppers in the picture are a mixture of Trinidad Scorpion “Butch T” and my new hotness, the merciless Reaper of Carolina. My spice loving (now) wife is pleased, these peppers were previously the hottest in the world. The rumored Pepper X is supposed to be hotter but remains allusive to acquire, I will keep you posted if I manage to grow some of those next year and not “brain my damage” between now and then.”

Thanks to Betsy for the update from her 16th Street Heights Haul:

“Update: it’s a melon! (I was wrong. I thought it was a squash.) It tastes like a slightly earthier and less flavorful cantaloupe, though maybe it just needed more time on the vine.”

And thanks to all who entered their hauls this year!!

“wanted to submit a sort of unorthodox choice for the Great Garden Haul- three years to grow!

Here is a pineapple from Federal Triangle (literally grown in a window). As you can see, it was enjoyed by the office in pina coladas!”
