Every year when Orto Novo are ready to clean thier 1000m2 "pepper"greenhouse they let the Swedish Pepper society (Svenska Chilepeppar föreningen) harvest the last of the peppers. This year the plants was somewhat affeted by fungus, but still there where plenty of very nice peppers to pick. About 70 people attended this event. Orto Novos greenhouses are situated close to Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. Afterwards we hade coffe and very tasty applepie spiced with Ancho chile.

Very interesting ... and nice harvest!We should suggest to Azienda Stuard to do the same ... free harvest just before frost kill all of the plant in open field :thumbsup: At Orto Novo plants are all in pots (as it seems looking at some photoes) or even grown with hydroponics?

Yes your are right (as allways) it is the wonderful Aji Omnicolor. Omnicolor is also one of my favorites and very useful, in the taste it reminds me a little bit of another favorite of mine: Hot Lemon/Lemon Drop. RegardsPatrik

completely agreed with you. Sometimes by the name of variety the people think about an ornamental or others. This consideration is not so good flavor, not tasty ecc ecc....but when i tried aji omnicolor i say "oh my god, it's absolute fantastic" . A big thank you for give me the possibility for grown it by your seeds.Regards :thumbsup:
