And another one

New ones are coming slowly, one by one:  

I had a tricot bishops crown that was the fastest growing plant of the batch, not by that much, buy noticeably, though It may that I put it in a privileged spot or something. Then I had a 4 cots that grew slightly slower than the rest, it is basically a siamese twin plant, or two plants sharing...

Hi. If you are in Córdoba and want to get seeds, in "mercado norte" you can buy locoto pods, aji amarillo's and a couple of other varieties. If they are ripe the seeds will probably germinate, that's where I got many of my seeds from. Some verdulerias also have purira pods (puriras are very...

I base most of my sauces on pumpkin or squash. I love the flavour and the thickness they give to the sauce, and I use it with about every food. My family and friend's that have tried it like it a lot as well.

  And a 3d one:

It looks like an eroded bishops crown

I don't think there's anything wrong with this kind of sunburn, the pods are fine, it's sort of a protective reaction i think, some peppers just do that. I wouldn't change anything unless something more serious happens, like sunscald or the leaves wilting.

Everything is looking great! The cayenne's are looking much more cayenne like to me now. Regarding the 3rd one, i don't know what variety it is, but the change in color looks like normal sunburn to me. (I asked about a similar change in color in my puriras a year ago here and everybody said...

The same thing happened to me a couple of weeks ago, lots of tomato seedlings arround my transplanted peppers, no idea where they came from.

It looks like a "pimiento Calahorra" to me, a heart shaped bell pepper variety, quite common where I live as a smaller bell pepper alternative. Edit: Added picture of my calahorras:

In my experience birds bitting tends to leave triangular holes in peppers, i don't think this is the work of birds. It looks similar to what i've seen done by pill bugs on a piece of cactus but i'm not sure pill bugs eat peppers (they do eat pepper stems for sure).

I had the exact same thing happen to me last week. Unfortunately I can't give you any valuable information, I threw it away (with great pain) just in case. Hope someone can tell what's going on here.

I've done this a lot of times and it works great. Sometimes it takes longer till they root. At first I used to change the water every few days to prevent algae and spoiling. Later I read somewhere that the natural rooting hormones of the plant get partially diffused in the water so it's not...

About the green pod, I think it grew quite prematurely in relation to the plant's development, and probably it wont get the regular shape/size it's supposed to be, whatever it is, so probably future pods, when the plant more mature, will be different. For it's shape and color I think it could be...
