I second chiltepin! Received my box as well, and they look just as beautiful. Very excited to check them out, especially having heard several people say they prefer fataliis to datils (which so far have ownership of my heart).

I have a hodge podge of mild peppers that I've been playing with, and I decided to make some poppers to use up most of what remained. I used the recipe from the website below, and filled up some Brazilian starfish, sugar rush peppacream and peppapeach, and a couple of aji dulce.  While they all...

I would also be interested in this. I'm also in for the Volante Peach, so when I send my SASBE, they can be sent together. Thank you! This is very cool of you!

I'm interested

OK. I just didn't know how long peppers would sit on the plant without going bad. Thanks!

Hey there,   I JUST picked my first ripe peppers from my datil plants two days ago. They seem to be ripening ever faster. The catch is, I am leaving in a few days and won't be back for a little over a week. My plants live at my friends' house, so they can keep them watered (in containers...

Ruid, that's a new one to me. Thanks for the suggestion! Looking it up on THP and Khang Starr's channel, it sounds like something I need to check out. Willard and NE Chili Man - I definitely like serranos! They are my go to for any unspecified fresh chili, and I sometimes sub them in place of...

Hey all, So as I read these forums, I stumble across interesting things, and even though I KNOW I have to limit my pepper growing (since I don't actually have a place to grow them and have to house my peppers at a friend's place), I am super curious to taste more varieties. Maybe add 1 or 2...

I don't have a recipe but will be trying to create one this summer - I fell in love with some key lime-datil and guava-datil jellies when I lived in St. Augustine. I did some experimentation earlier this summer and found that I could get the heat without the taste of jalapenos by simmering...

Hey Jeff, After hearing people say that they like fataliis more than datils, I'm gonna have to try some. I'll PM you.

Out of curiosity, do you find that cilantro has a soapy taste? In the love-hate wars of cilantro, it seems to me that those who hate it find it has a soapy taste. I thought it had a soapy taste when I was younger, but as I kept eating it in various dishes, that taste went away. Now I can't...

I got your 2 hands of blue, but where's your "2 by"? ;)

Regardless of anything else, I've at least got these helpers. The female's been on this plant for 4 days now. A much more welcome sight than the tobacco hornworm earlier this week. He'd been there less than 24 hrs and did a good deal of damage to the sprig he was on. My friend's chickens had a...

So if mine are too curly, what could be the culprit? Pests? What other signs should I look for? (I don't see obvious bugs, but I'm not hunting for them specifically when I'm doing inspections) Or does figuring out which pest even matter? I've seen some people recommend neem oil - is that a good...

No, I haven't. My understanding was that this sort of curliness was typical of datil peppers. I'm guessing your datils aren't this curly?

I give them a 5-5-5 once a month. But that's something all 3 plants have in common, so I don't know why one would react differently.

No, they haven't been inside since I bought them in early May. It's just that my place is essentially in a mini-forest. I put the now-problem plant in the sunniest spot, still probably not 4 hrs worth - she flowered but no fruit set. The other 2 got only filtered sunlight plus 2 types of...

Hey everyone,   It's occurred to me recently that I may have a problem with one of my peppers. I noticed a couple of days ago that its leaves were more yellowish than the other 2 datil plants I am growing. All 3 are treated identically except for I have the other 2 in a different location, where...

Tybo, glad to hear you haven't had problems picking a little early. We got a "cold snap" this week, with lows in the upper 60s and highs in the low 80s, and it makes me a little nervous, though we're heading back into the 90s in another day or so. It's been such a hassle getting these guys going...

I've been hearing about the Fataliis since I've been looking up datils on here. Definitely curious about them. Not sure if I will try to grow them in the future - maybe if I move to a new place where I can grow them on my own and not have to beg a friend to give them a spot. :) But I'll have to...
