When you're making a cross you won't know what you're gonna get, although you might have an idea... After making a cross you will need to isolate and grow the variety for some generations, i.e. F2, F3, F4, F5 and so on...the plants will look more and more alike for every year/generation given...

Oh, very nice, then I guess this means your wife is not from Germany, am I right? Well, great that you succeeded, and got the chance to see Copenhagen as well...:D

"Yes, I'm sorry, I do not speak English, okay.... Yes, yes. Hot dog, hot dog. Yes sir, no sir. Maybe, okay. " :D From 3F11

From what I've read, I share Pam's opinion... Bhut Jolokia and Naga Morich may come close if not almost identical, maybe they are just different strains of the same "mother variety" - might I add that seeds going by the same name from different sources could very likely be just as different as...

Do I really have to? Okay, I will spice up a nice curry and rice dish with one of the lads tomorrow...:D

:D You call that a short growing season!? THIS is a short growing season...:evil: http://www.dmi.dk/dmi/index/verden/verdensvejr.htm?city=900061002&country=Australien (Scroll down to see year average weather data for Sydney - and choose "Sammenlign med danske klimadata" to see what a short...

Well, I could send you seeds at the end of the season if you send me a PM, but as it figures I cannot promise you that they will come true to the variety, although my 2 plants have been grown isolated this year...

Those Orange Habs are just stunningly beautiful! Will give your jelly recipe a shot - maybe I will try it with blackberries and rocotos instead, though...:shocked:

Yeah, it certainly is beautiful and early and productive, too... Cannot say anything about flavour yet, but will catch up on this shortly.:shocked: But I guess hot as hell (I am one of those who find pubescens as hot or even hotter than chinense) with regular, great pubescens taste, the...

Despite low temps (12-15 C) and lots of rain these beauties have ripened into amazingly hot stuff with a pronounced lemony aroma to it...

:shocked: it should have been "PI387838 - Locato turned out red...Doh!"...

I am growing two plants of this very nice and promising variety, they should have been maturing to yellow, but both of them turned red. The two plants look identical, though, so maybe it will be worth saving seeds and growing them again, will give it a try...

Nice corking on this strain of Jalapeño...

A cap. pubescens variety certainly is a qualified guess! Although I know of a annuum variety called Goat's Weed a.k.a. Goats Weed which would make any pubescens jealous... I grow it this year but due to rainy, cold conditions during the past 4-5 weeks it is not doing that great at all any...

Looking great, Lenny! Might I ask from where you obtained this variety..:) ;)

So, finally they're here...:onfire: Thanks again, Mark, for the seeds! Has anyone else received seeds from Mark (The Chile Man) - if so we could do a comparison of plants and pods. Also it would be nice to see some other strains, for instance Bhut Jolokia...

Wauw, that looks awesome, Pepp3rFreak, no need to feel shame!:onfire: I also really like those raised rows, think this is a good idea if you experience a lot of rain, like you just did... When growing cabbage (and carrots) I put over something we call "fiber cloth" if translating directly. It...

What a great idea, chilehunter! I live in Denmark in Scandinavia where growing season is short and for periods we experience lots of rain (120 mm for June alone) combined with temperatures down to 14-15 degrees Celsius. 20-25 degrees is normal here, but 30 for short periods is also normal. Last...

Yes, I believe "pre-roots" is a good name for it... I don't think it's a problem at all, although I experience this mostly on plants that need more space for their roots, a larger container for instance...

;) Sure, you Americans can have that honour, Willard - but what I meant was that the "genetic sport" I dare to call Shipkas or Bulgarian Carrot has most likely arisen in Bulgaria and been grown in Bulgaria for many years, possibly generations - so it is an heirloom from Bulgaria and it has not...
