I ain't germinating this thing any time soon. It needs to grow into a beast first. I find plants slow down when they start their first pods. So on that note my fellow competitors, start germinating and podding up early!!!!

Okay I just harvested seeds from 5 ripe pods. Pm me for anyone who wants to send out SASBE for St. Lucia red seasoning and I will also through some bird peppers and mixed island seeds also. I just minced up most of the peppers with 5 onions, 3 heads of garlic and some green onion. I then put two...

Boom!!!! Flower! Double Boom!! I just got back today from St. Lucia and did a nute change since my trip caused me to delay nutes by a week. Also added some more thrive alive!

Well these are all St. Lucia red. Thanks for the input Joe. Does your friend sell fresh pods? I would be interested in purchasing large quantities if he has them available as my cooking has been suffering considerably since my move to the USA 5 years ago.

I will take some of these and send some bird peppers, st. lucia red seasoning pepper, bonda ma jaques and other various varieties I have on hand. My Ex-fiancee was Guyanese and I enjoyed these peppers at their NY home all the time. They are very hot for the size and great flavour.

Exactly Jeff!! It has no heat at all. I am growing Trinidad perfumes this year to try them out but I have grown Tobago seasoning peppers and they are the same as our seasoning pepper. Every island seems to use them in many dishes. I have been sharing the seeds out for these for a while on the...

Yeah we get them green mainly with a couple ripe pods. The ripe pods rot very quickly and the green still has great flavour and holds texture better.

I just got back from St. Lucia again and managed to bring back a bag full of seasoning peppers. I am growing them this year but no pods as yet. We use this pepper as a seasoning in all meals and I am surprised that it has not caught on at all in other parts of the world. It is an essential part...

I will post one next week. The system is at home cycling still. I am back in St. Lucia for a week and will be back to my peppers and aquaponics on Wednesday. I did get 15 yellow perch that my friend is storing in his aquaponic system until I get back. So when I get to Nebraska they will go into...

Sweet I hope in the end they do make fruit. I have seen young mango trees put out 2-3 mangoes.

Any updates on the mango trees? I have been following this thread. It's mango season now so you should start seeing maybe some buds and flowers. I just got back to St. Lucia yesterday and the mango trees here are in full flower and some already have lots of mangoes. I normally pick the...

Omg news update!!! Both good and bad. Bad first. It looks like I might lose both of those hail damaged plants. The bonda ma jaque was cut back and might put out some new growth but the butch t I had to cut to the stump and I imported, soaked roots in hormone and nutrients and then I replanted...

Sorry I will have update next week if it is still alive. I left it in Nebraska and I am in St. Lucia now. So I am missing a couple of nute changes which might affect it. We will see. The Caribbean plants are all healthy though back at home here so I am glad about that.

I grow indoors all year long so I will be in to help.

HERE IS AN UPDATE! As of today, I have received 6 SASBE's. I will wait for tomorrow to see what else I get and then they are all going out tomorrow. On Wednesday morning, I am flying to St. Lucia for a week and will be back the following Wednesday on May 1st. If there is an interest in bonda ma...

You think so? I have had great success with Bonda germ rates. They were the first to pop also when I did my first germination last year.

I want to get some seeds but I can't justify the price!

How many seeds did you get per package?

Okay this is what surprised me the most with this thread. NO one has mentioned the difference in climate between India and America? Indian farmers I am sure do not plant yearly like they would have to in the US. They most likely plant every 3 years and harvest many times a year as in a tropical...

Okay thanks everyone for participating. This is officially closed!!
