My first chilli pepper growing experience
- Thread starter rory
- Start date
awesome pods!
Hey everyone, hope the weeknd was good for everyone (I know its Tuesday, but I had an extended one
)
Another 'Wild' update as these have really kicked into gear, I m so excited for these..
First off is the Charapita, literally hundreds of little balls of excitement...
Brazilian Pumpkin, what a beautiful plant, with leaves the size of my hand and beautiful looking fruits
Had dinner at a friends last night and was gifted these beauties, wow first time ever trying them,
3 Naga Morich, Chocolate Habanero
Havent tasted the Naga Morich yet but the Choc. Hab is honestly one of the most unique and addictive flavours I have ever tasted, really good. Unfortunately they just have the one plant and could onky spare one fruit (honestly who could blame them, too good to share)
And finally some Bee pollination this morning of the Cherry Tomato plant, poor quality photo from my tablet...
...had such potential for a great shot , I feel I have left you guys down.
Thanks for reading thus far, have a great day/night

Nice plants, pods, and pasta dish !
I'm getting loaded with the Charapita chili's myself......problem is there's too many larger pods to pick. I keep looking at the Charapita's and thinking one of these days...ha
I'll probably dry most for powder and pickle the green ones at the end of the season.
The jar with the chili's looks cool !.....what type of oil is that ?

Thank you ! The pasta was delicious, one for yhe missus too who doesnt like too much heat.
Lol @Charapitas I m exactly the same, " Ya I ll get them another day"
How do you plan to use them once you finally get around to picking them?
Beautiful plants!
I have literally not done a thing, it s Mother Nature doing her thing, working her magic. The addiction has well and truly begun and I am already planning next year.... Hook, Line and sinker!!

Hook, Line and sinker!!....and a kilo of Brazilian Pumpkin, which in all honesty was so much easier, took me all of 5 mins to harvest 2 plants
Right, my other comment obviously didnt post...long story short:
1 Aji Charapita plant, the smaller of the two, yielded 250g.
Took all of 50mins to complete!! Not joking!!
I have been putting off the other plant so long now that they are beginning to fall off themselves! ! Yaaay joking.
As for photo s I have them, but I am locked out of my photobucket a/c for about a week now, a case of I cant remember my password and them not sending me an email to change it???
