Great!!!!!!!!! ..... the tovarii is very beautiful

[Chuck 7]

Well done, nice plants.....they're very healthy!

[cmpman1974 504]

My plants have been in the ground for a month now almost. They aren't that big yet, but they usually just grow more roots underground until mid to late July and then they branch out. The weather has been good so far this year though!!

nice job.... well done....

[Lonewolf 18,625]

What a beautiful sight! Plants everywhere!

 

Your Parvifolium looks much more compact than mine, but same leaves; will it be a true Parvifolium?

Very nice the C.Tovarii too!

 

In one photo we see a ball near the plants No problem?

Hi CmpMan1974!

I've missed your thread and read it only now.

 

You sow a lot of variety!

But - I confess - I've never heard of many of them

 

I see you put them in the ground, now.

Maybe they are a little bit too close one with each other?

 

Watching mine, that are growing in the little pots (13 or 18cm) of my balcony, I see that much of them are widening their branch really much!

 

I have MANY real estate constrains, and I'm obliged to get them too close.

But I think that they could develop better if you can leave at least 80cm from plant to plant.

 

MISCELLANEOUS LETTUCE

Mmmmm...

Is it very hot?

 

 

:D just joking! :D

[cmpman1974 504]

Marlon, yes I realize spacing is very close. For me, I enjoy trying lots of different varieties more than getting super big plants. I agree spacing them more would get bigger yields for a variety, but the truth is I never run out of peppers anyways. lol. Also, my climate is MUCH different than Italy. I will never see the size plants many of you do as my growing season is only from June through late September most years. Maybe next year I'll focus on giving them more space.

 

Thanks Claudio. I look forward to seeing how Parvifolium ends up. I've seen so many variations that I have no idea what the 'real' one is. lol. I'm glad to hear yours has similar leaf structure. Any pictures?

 

It's my daughter's ball. She knows better than to hit my pepper plants. Kidding.

 

Thanks everyone!!

Climate apart (Italy is really long, and not everybody have sun and warm from march to november...) we share the same exact "vision" of the thing:

 

we enjoy the varieties even if the plants will remains a little bit smaller and less productive.

 

As you can see in my thread (starting from HERE), I have 40 plants in a tiny balcony

 

The pots are tiny as well, but we're happy (me and my plants )

[cmpman1974 504]

Some very large Yellow 7 Pots and a surprise cross (red strain of yellow 7 Pot)!!

beautiful fruits, as always

 

but the black naga has a black thing?

[LorenzoNeon 1]

Whatta beautiful pod! Compliments for all your growing

 

What are the differences of flavour and taste between Black Naga and Chocolate Habajolokia?

 

Thank you

[Lonewolf 18,625]

Nice pods!

More info about Black Naga, please

[Patahontas 5]

Great pics Chris! Looks deadly:)

I have not tasted them yet. My throat has been a bit sore and that may not be the best idea. lol. Lonewolf, the Black Naga was a pepper supposedly accidentally discovered in a field of regular nagas from ChiliPepperPete I think. They were from India-sourced seeds They seem to look like a Chocolate Bhut but somewhat different. More spiky, better producer. They don't turn 'black' though...dark brown like others. I enjoy it though.

 

Here's a Red Fatalii I harvested today. I don't see this one much. It's the real deal. Deadly heat, giant pods. Many Red Fataliis are not hot and small w/different pod shape. I got this one many years ago.
