The pods almost never come away clean; so I guess the answer is 'no'. I've been to Manteo many times over the years, but didn't know about the 'Mother Vine'. It'll be on my to-do list for my next visit (hopefully next month).

Not sure if it is deciduous, I don't over-winter my plants, so have never observed their full year habits. As far as taste goes, to me the fully ripe pod has a slight Scuppernong Grape taste when I first bite into it. But hey, I'm the guy that thinks most of them have a soapy taste!

Only done it once, and it seemed the same. But I suppose that depends on how they were frozen and for how long. I had "lightly" vacuum packed the peppers and dried them within a couple months of freezing.

Inca Red Drop. Sadly, it's the only Baccatum that doesn't taste like soap to me. And I've tried quite a few.

It's a massive producer! I've been picking ripe pods for the last couple weeks.

My first year growing this, but probably not my last. To my palate, it has excellent flavor, texture, and nice heat. Scoured the internet looking for info on its origins. Found that the late Massimo Biago, an Italian professor is credited as being the creator of this hybrid under the name...

I've only smoked peppers a couple of times, but they always turned out well. I did it on a converted Smokey Joe with Peach wood chunks (my personal favorite). I only smoke them for 2-3 hours with the temps around 215F. Then I put them into a dehydrator until they are completely dried out.

Love it!

I personally prefer MOA over Freeport bonnets. IMHO they have better flavor and have more flesh (probably at least in part owing to their Ministry of Agriculture status). I actually prefer MOA over all bonnets, with P.Dreadie coming in a close 2nd place.

In zone 9B Texas, that little bit of shade will be fine.

Me too! :D

@OP... If I was using tap water in Naples, I would at least let it sit out and out-gas for a while before putting it on my seedlings. Maybe even overnight.

In my experience... If there are still other seeds that haven't germinated yet, then I leave the dome on for a while longer. But once the seedlings get tall enough to tough the done, I remove the dome no matter what.

Only ever had Devil's Tongue from Pepperlover, and it was more elongated than the one in the photo. Reminds me more of a Yellow BBG7 I grew from Texas Hot Peppers a few years ago. Looks great regardless :dance:

They're red with a redish-orange calyx.

This is my second year ordering from Osborne. They're a bit pricey, but they are about the only place in the US that carries all the "Sun" tomato variety seeds. I have grown the Sungold variety for many years, but tried the newer Sunorange cherry tomato. It turned out to be a healthy/hearty...

Placed and received my tomato seed order from Victory Seed Company. I think this was my third year ordering from them. As with my previous orders, they processed and sent out my orders very quickly. If anyone is interested in growing some of the newer dwarf tomato varieties, then Victory Seed is...

Received my recent order from RFC a couple days ago. As always, Jim Duffy processed the order the day I placed it, and got it into the mail. Everything was perfect, and he included lots of extras. :dance:

My personal favorite is the frutescen x chinense cross Mojo Frutegum from Mojo Pepper in Italy. Unfortunately, its owner closed up shop and moved on to other interests. Here's a link to his old blog: http://mojopepper.blogspot.com/2015/12/mojo-frutegum-frutescens-x-chinense.html I was able to...
