nitwit 2011 growlog thingie

[nitwit]

yes, there is actually two of those pubes
the smaller one is on the left and really not a factor here.
the container is 24" od pipe cut in half and it is 20' long


sorry my camera is a POS

this is taken just before when they went to a friend with some cherokees

these are some red rocoto seedlings from another member sent me seeds

this is my scorpion (thanks uncle steve ) setting some pods

and this is a yellow 7 pot (thanks peppermania )showing lots of stingered pods
you would think the trinidad 7 pots and scorpions are kinda cousins from this action

nice I'm, at this very moment, trying to sprout a 7-pod. Those yellow pubes look nice too not to mention the scorps.

What was your growing rate success nitwit? Any pepper- type not cooperate?

 

[nitwit]

sorry missed this
yes some types will not grow for me

might be i need more patience or stick to it iveness?

today december 4 start germinating for spring 2012 now

My Rocoto's are @ the same size as yours. I suspect they'll be ripening before long. I'm in no big hurry although I'm very eager to see how they taste. Been patiently waiting all season. I guess the longer the wait, the sweeter the reward

 

[slashroot]

Can't wait to taste the rocotos for first time. Mine is still refusing to pod so yours is doing much better hehe You're sure more experienced at growing peppers than me

Have you tasted both Red rocotos and yellow, are they the same in texture/taste?

Sure would love to see more plant pics, keep posting when you got time! Anyway an old thread, hope you make a glog for this year

 

[nitwit]

the truth is the peppers do all the heavy lifting please see smokemaster or zanderspice
growing pictures for the really successful pube growers

me i am spoiled; the spanish supermarkets carry pubes at ±$5.99 a pound and usually have them all the time
i still like to try to grow them ( even though i can almost always buy them )

there is a bit of damage here on this rocoto

warning the following pictures may be viewed as DISTASTEFUL by some


culprits:

slug pelletssss

 

[slashroot]

Only peppers available fresh here in stores are red habanero and some cayenne hybrid, very mild.

Rain sure brings nasty creatures to life like slugs.

You go under three different names, smokemaster or zanderspice are other accounts you have?

 

[nitwit]

"You go under three different names, smokemaster or zanderspice are other accounts you have?"

NO

these other two growers have much better skills growing the pubes and much better grow facilities and variety

than i do.

"Have you tasted both Red rocotos and yellow, are they the same in texture/taste?"

texture is same for all
find the reds to be a little milder,

yellows and oranges can come with some bad ass creeper heat

the core between the seeds and the stem is where it is 'at'

good growing

the pubes are one groovy pepper and i only try to promote their growing

it is a continuous learn to grow as you go
