    Alex_K - 2022/2023 - Growing peppers in Brazil!

    Well, I'm seriously thinking about giving some of the plants to relatives, neighbors, friends... since I won't have space for so many. I think I'm totally screwed! 😅

    Alex_K - 2022/2023 - Growing peppers in Brazil!

    I think this season I will become a pepper plant hoarder as I received over 100 different varieties from my brother and ended up planting them all, I honestly don't know how I will accommodate so many plants! My original plan for this season was the wild species, the native varieties from Brazil...

    Resurrecting this thread just to show PDNxBMJ (white) in fully ripe state as you can see this variety goes through various shades of purple during the ripening process... It's cool! 😎

    Wild, Indeed, Community Thread

    @CaneDog I hope so... It's the first time I'm growing this species, I didn't expect it to become so tall, it seems to be a characteristic of this species.

    I see everyone is doing great with the wilds! I took some pictures of my rhomboideum over the weekend, this plant has already reached 1.5M in height but no flowers yet! 🙂

    Caigua (Cyclanthera pedata) From Peru this vine survived the winter and produced a few pods... Great vegetable to stuff as it is hollow inside. 😋

    Very interesting @ChilliCrosser first time I hear about the species C. rabenii is it related to C. baccatum or C. praetemissum? The Sugar Rush Stripey x Pimenta Da Neyde has really nice flowers, it looks like a baccatum with purple flowers, very nice!

    This is probably the last harvest of the season, too cold for my peppers to produce, I hope they make it through the winter and can resprout in the spring! 🥶

    @PaulG If everything goes well in the next season we will see how this variety will grow, from the little information I got on the internet it looks a lot like C. praetemissum, but at the same time it seems to have characteristics of other species too, very interesting! 😲 @Wiriwiri So there's...

    Occasionally making some Indian dishes like curries I ended up buying this Curry tree plant, but I confess that I rarely use it, because it has a very strong aroma, I found it difficult to balance its pungency with another ingredients in the dish. I think I need to find a better recipe to use...
