Where did those Shabu seeds come from? Floricole accidentally shipped about a bunch of "fake" Shabu seeds last year by accident. He made up for it and reshipped with real seeds. Maybe these "Shabu" seeds came from that bad batch?? If they are the annuums, they are going to be a hatch style of pepper. Still Great!

Hi Ben, seeds came from Jenny Song who was selling them and space chill is on Facebook.
Will keep a eye on flowering as will know if there's one per nodule there will of been a mix up.
Out of interest what's a hatch style of pepper?

Here is a link that shows a brief history of the Hatch Pepper. I think there is a video somewhere as well.

Just one of my P. Dreadie select seedlings, showing the usual big foliage.
All 6 of my seedlings will go to my uncles heated greenhouse and grown in isolation.

One of my special peppers this year and looking forward go the pods Hainan Yellow Lantern.
Seeds we're hard to source so I'm lucky to be growing.

The chocolate bhutlah lol the one from Steve McClauren I wanted to grow this just to see what all the hype is about.

CGN 21500
Love the foliage colour very similar to Pauls and Trippas pdn x bmj.

Few pics from round the yard, beds are all Ramial chipped wood and we're out down 3 seasons ago, we just top up with about a inch of fresh stuff every year and let it do it's thing.

As you can see chilli security is out on patrol lol.

Few pics in the tent, few matas in their as well, want a good crop of them this season as I wanna try Ricks Gochu spicy ketchup he kindly shared his recipe for.

Happy gardening.
