When the pods look like this you can start to harvest them, they will still be quite firm but with fully developed flavour and the best looks. If you let them ripen a bit longer they lose their blush and become completely peach colored. The latter will give you more soft and juicy pods!

First substantial harvest this year! peppapeach stripey Peppapeach stripey... 🤔 Not quite stable yet, cause these look more like Malawi peppadew if you ask me! Cgn 21500 Took of all the tiny pods hanging on the lower branches. Didn't count them, but there must be at least 200 of them...

So glad to see i am not the only one looking at videos with chinese woman cooking and gardening on youtube! 😅 I'm a great fan of the Liziqi channel! I can spend hours watching these videos!!! Although i don't understand chinese at all, these just speak for themselves. It's the combination of...

I got four "Kiss of the raven" plants. (Cross between Jalapeno and Pequin) I saw quite early on that there were some differences in the individual plants like leafshape and growth habit. pheno 1: Compact plant Chinense type pods? (Berries :P) Canopy shot Pheno 2: Compact bushy plant...

Long due update from the Netherlands! It has been quite a busy year and with the rotten weather we had in the north of Europe there was not much to update for a long time. Normally i would be knee deep in peppers allready, but this year everything is 2 months behind. Tasmanian black: (the green...

Aphids!

Found some differences in the individual Kiss of the Raven seedlings. Some have lancet shaped leaves and others have more heart shaped leaves. Curious to see how they will develop over time. Being a cross between Jalapeno and Pequin some genetics from both may turn up. Growing a lot of...

Commercially grown jalapenos are a disgrace. I don't really mind that they selected the heat out of them (plenty other options for that) but in this process they also made the flavor disappear and it's exactly that unique flavor that makes a good jalapeno in my opinion. Will be growing a lot of...
