Harry's 2012/2013

With Spring officially arriving I have kicked off the season a couple of seeds from a Red Rocoto pod that found its way to me. The seeds are currently soaking in distilled water after being dipped in H2O2 solution for a few minutes.

Many of the plants from previous season remain. The vast majority of the mature non C. Pubescens plants have not regrown thus far. As of Friday I have one Not Locato (plant #2) in bloom with the other (plant #1) developing buds. Today marks the first day an orange Rocoto plant in the garden has re-entered bloom.

Yellow7 runt of a pod that's been a long time coming:

Ripening Yellow7

Spotted the yellow on this pod a couple of days before I took the photo.

Nice color.  Looks more like a Yellow Congo in the pic.
The only other plant I have seen with pods that ripen to a nice bright yellow are the C. chinense Limón. The Carmine pods ended up a shade of orange to my eye.

The first pod on the plant, that aborted after a grub bored a hole into it, had a shape and texture more typical of a yellow 7.

This plant is among the group of young plants that was hit by a bronzing and then die back of the young leaves and tips. My guess is the pod in the photo set during a warmer than usual period (not hot though) in late April to early May.
 
Moving on to a 2013-2014 thread. I had a plant of most of the varieties pull through. Gone include:
  • Bhut Jolokia Chocolate
  • Jamaican Hot Chocolate
  • Peach HabNot
  • Trinidad Moruga Red
