Geeze, that is Insane amount of superhots for the comp! What was the prize?   Would have loved to be at the festival. Can you post some pics :-)

Evolka, what does your plants growing tips or terminal buds look like, also the same black spots.   If so I would look very, very closely (powerful magnifying  glass) for some nasties eg, mites.   D

Hehehe, it's sooooo juicy :-)   They take forever to get ripe!   I will hold thumbs for your one to make it, as they are worth the wait.

Finally, my first rocoto ripened, 10 years passed from the last time I tried to grow a red rocoto. Only thing they are yellow... sigh. Bought them online as red rocotos, what a surprise I got :-)   That said, they are one of the most amazing peppers I have ever tasted, juicy, fruity nice not...

Hi   Well there is a few of us, PeriPeri I would say is the biggest grower ( lots of envy :-)) Check out his glog, very impressive.   Also there is Chillie Whisperer, which is a chilihead in the making.   Me, after a 10 year break, I started growing some 7pod's, ghost's, rocotos, tabasco and...

So jealous!   Have been wanting to grow these for years! But seeds are very scares here in South Africa. Manage to find some Rocoto seeds (10) this year, and 3 germinated. And of those 3 the first one got its first fruit :-) ​So looking forward to tasting these.     On my to grow list is the...

Hi   Welcome, and yes keep us posted with your progress. We can learn so much from each other.   I've got some nagas and 7 pod in the hot category, will do the trinidad next year.    D

Thanx for the offer, but customs will say NO :-)   What size is the pots you are using, if you dont mind me asking.   That plant is that the 7 pod? Love the "mini tree" look.   D

In SA we have shops that sells mainly plastic products. I found they sell pots much cheaper than the nurseries.

Beautiful plants you have there, thank you for the pics.   I had my Rocoto's in mid/afternoon sun, and they did not seem to have liked the heat, after moving them to get just a little bit of afternoon sun, they seems much happier and flowering. Dont look like they are going to set fruit yet, but...

Hi   Nice peppers you have there! Would you mind posting some pics of your plants?   This is the first year I grow Rocotos. They are flowering now, very excited, hope they set fruit.   D

I also use these, they maximize the soil space under the grow lights, with round ones there is alot of wasted space around the cups.

Things are looking good!!    You wont believe how I was looking forward to your update after your holiday :-)

Hi   Welcome.   This is also my first year (really) growing peppers.   I have find that my peppers in the smaller pots seems to turn yellow, ones it the 20 and 25 liter pots are very happy. Some gets morning sun, others afternoon sun, and I dont see any difference in appearance.   They are all...

Hi. That's correct, Lekker by die see :-) I'm growing some ghost and 7 pot's for the insane class. And some rocoto's and tab ascots for the sane class and two types of pepperdew kind peppers for snacks. Then I also have some veggies going. Still lots to learn , but this form and google helps...

Hi. Yes, strange looking peppers with their hairy leaves. Looking foward in tasting the rocotos. The sauce sounds good. So every years will taste diffrent due to the kind and amount of peppers go into the sauce. Or do you go according to a recipe? D

Hi   Hehehe, yes I think it is kind of mental growing these things that make you cry like a little girl, but who am I to judge....hehehehe   I will appreciate a bottle or two, might try my hand at it myself this year. Have some naga ghost and 7pod busy growing, dont know why, they terrify me...

Thanx sarge, will do that for future seeding.   Smokin' Hot yes, the others I grew from the same packet was fine, I think I will keep the plant isolated and see what happens.  I am way to curious to see what the fruit will look like.   PeriPeri, thanx for the welcome, been following your blog...

If it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing! That is some serious growing list you have. Did some of your sauce ever made it down to Capetown?

Nice blog bud. I'm down in Capetown, grew some peppers about 10 years ago, then the bug bit again this year :-)
