    14 scorpion plants and only one produced. The last two years, my ghosts dropped all their flowers, but seeing as how all I’ve heard about Dorsets is that they produce pods like a weed, I think I’m going to get some of those seeds for next year. Such a bummer of working so hard since February and only getting a whopping 8 pods.
    Here’s to next year!

    I still have 3 Dorset Naga plants going, all in-ground, but no ripe chilis yet. #1 is in my Old Garden which has the most fertile soil and part shade; at 4 1/2 feet tall it is not even the biggest pepper plant in its vicinity (a Sugar Rush Red next to it and a couple of Tabaneros a couple feet away are bigger probably thanks to starting earlier than the late January date when I received the seeds). #1 is very healthy-looking and starting to flower. #2 is in a friend's full-sun allotment, and is nearly as large as #1, with denser foliage and with a few green pods. #3 is in my New Garden in a spot that has done well in the past, but it was the smallest to begin with and is still only 18" tall. (All three of these spent a long time under 6" tall this spring, with their broad leaves dragging on the ground and taking damage from slugs).
    I did have a ghost pepper plant near where #1 is a few years ago that achieved over 100 ripe pods, so some potential is still there.

By the time it was warm enough to get them to germinate, they baked in the sun either before putting out any fruit or after only a handful.

Do you keep your plants alive for multiple seasons? 3. Until. today I have never heard of the Dorset Naga pepper, how does it compare to the Ghost pepper (heat, flavor & size).
