Hi everyone,
I have been reading this forum for some time now, it has been very helpful to grow my first chili pepper plant ever "Bhut Jolokia"
I have been gardening for some years now but never tried chili peppers (called just chilli here, we reserve the word pepper for the real pepper), but that changed after I read about Bhut...
Its been a wonderful journey till now with my Bhuts, they have just started forming flower buds and I am hopping to harvest some by end of October
I had seen the below plant in a village and its called "Kappal Milagai" which literally means Ship peppers, probably because they came through some one who traveled abroad on a ship or because the pods are erect as a ships sail....
not sure which variety this is though?
Regards,
Sujai
