Chile pepper growing

Entries in this blog

 

Guess the pepper!

Can you guess the pepper! This pepper is related to Trinidad Scorpion, the seeds I planted are from a Trinidad Scorpion FG pod.   Here is a picture of the peppers that I will have on my balcony this year. Not included on this photo is Rocoto Brown and P. Padron.

Grilled peppers

A week ago we grilled some peppers, it was really nice. We also smoked 1 kg jalapenos (with some other annuums for our special recipe;)). Really nice but it took a whole weekend. The taste was great, but not as great as Jukkas Savukristalli (best hot pepper powder I have ever tasted!).       Some of the peppers of 2009

Greenhouse, Morouga and germinated peppers

Yesterday we bought a small greenhouse This will hopefully improve my harvest!   Yesterday I planted Scorpion Morouga seeds.   So far so good (peppers that germinated)     Bhut Jolokia chinense Big sun scotch bonnet chinense Cajamarca chinense Clavo chinense Devils Tounge chinense Fatalii chinense Habanero cappuccino chinense Habanero Condors Beak chinense Habanero white giant chinense Peruivan Serlano chinense Pimenta da neyde chinense Purple hazel chinense Bradleys Bahamian frutescens Chile de seda pubescens Hyper pube, cap 217 pubescens Pi 355811 (aji rocoto) pubescens San isidro pubescens

Green house, 2xJolokia and Bubba

The Green House is now complete with peppers, mostly very hot ones like Bhut Jolokia and the hot ones from Trinidad. Also some tomatoes, cucumbers and borlotto beans.     Bhut Jolokia   Chocolate Bhut Jolokia   Bubba, Capsicum baccatum. Tasty hot baccatum with the typical taste of the red baccatums.   I have been eating a lot of Hot Paper Lantern (sorry for calling it Hot Pepper Lantern before ). Its a great even as green.

Green house project finally ready

Finally our garden house is ready.     Lila Purpur in its new home.     Not white at all (yet!?) - White Rocoto. This pods looks much more healthy than the first pod that changed color. The only problem is that it is yellow like a lemon! Time will tell if it will turn into a white.     Many of the peppers now has small pods, like this small capsicum chinense Condors Beak ( It looks like it has some annuum genes)

Four capsicum chinense and one capsicum annuum

Shiny Red   Maraba   Cumari   Misqucho Colorado PI 152225 I love this one when the pods changes color.   Etkezipaprika, a very nice paprika from Hungary. Sweet and tasty. In my care more prolific than the bellpeppers, but almost as big. If your looking for a pepper that could replace the bellpeppers and you also would like a pepper that has a little heat, this colud be the one. Somehow my wife loves this one.   Edit 20081023: Just triend another pod. It was a lot hotter than the other pods. But still very tasty. I think I will grow this one again.//Patrik

For Francesco

This year I got loads of beans from Francesco, this one was very special, I dont know its name and if I can eat it - but it looks great!   Some other beans, once again some of them from Francesco, Thanks!   Another non pepper, I love growing tomatoes and they are particular great with hot peppers!   ...and something to balance the heat;)   Regards   Patrik

Flowers, pods and hybrids

Now many of my peppers have flowers (Cumari, Criolla Sella, Inca Red Drop, TopGirl, Tasmanian Red)   Tasmanian Red   The Jaloro F? now have four pods. The pods are darkgreen - it looks more like an regular Jalapeno than the Jaloro F1. Jaloro is a hybrid (F1) so my plant which I call Jaloro is actually Jaloro F2. I think I should call it "Jaloro Hybrid F2".   I grow some hybrids this year. If you look at my Tasmanian Red, you can see that it is not a pure Capsicum Chinense, It seems to be a cross with a annuum. I dont know if it stable, but I hope so. It looks amazing at a pepperfriends page Tasmansian RED   I also grow Trindiad Scorpion FG. It is a hybrid from Trindad Scorpion. Dont know what generation I am growing. F2 or F3? I hope it will turn out like this Trinidad Scorpion FG   Cant wait to see how they turn out.   Jaloro Hybrid f2   Patrik
