There is nothing wrong with them, just a little tanning going on. The plant reacts to the sun exposure by making some anthocyanin on the exposed side of the fruit. They will ripen just fine!

It's a hell of a job, but once they are done and cleaned they are absolutely delicious!

Capsaicin can cause bloodpressure drop and the irritation on your stomach could have led to some postprandial hypotension, that together with the heat maybe made your brain reset for a moment? I ate 2 big whole habanero red last year that made me lie on the floor gasping for air and drowning in...

:flamethrower:WWWOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSHHHHH :D

I love this time of the year! I went to pick some more piquillos yesterday. Just shy of 4,5 kg. this time.

That makes sense! I've been thinking about that also, mostly in the direction of some alternaria strain. The plot has not seen much capsicums in the past but plenty of potatoes, so some alternaria in the soil sure is possible. Strangely there are no other signs of it on the plant itself, they...

Anyone here any experience growing ancho negro? I'm growing them for the first time and they are doing great, but i have a lot of issues when it comes to ripening. Plants produce nice shiny green pods, but when the colors start to appear everything seem to go wrong. Either they fall of the plant...

Great looking Bahamian goat pod

Up to now things are going great, hoping that the weather in fall will be equally good up here in the north! Hoping that the weather in your neck of the woods will become a bit more pepperfriendly! You still got a few months to go, so plenty of time to make up for a sucky spring! 🍀 Not bad...

It sure is a nice time of the year! Everything is starting to color in our northern grow. Nice looking pods on those lemon starbursts

:dance:

Good thing in your climate is that you can simply start over. Hope you're doing well healthwise! 🍀

First decent harvest of the Piquillos... about 3,5 kg. and still lots to come! 😀

🤣

Every now and then i take some plants out of the jungle to do some grooming and some close up inspections. Today i took out the O.W. Habanero red. It's her second year now and she's getting quite big horizontally and is loading up with pods very well. These pods are very hot to me, but after the...

They sure are special peppers! Sweet and silky, and a quite unique flavor.

Time for a little update from the Netherlands. Just had two weeks off work to do some painting on the house and restoring my dormers. A lot of work, but it all looks brand new again! Not much happening on the pepperfront, just a lot of watering and waiting on some colored pods. Most plants throw...

No it didn't have those symptoms and it does not look like advancing Phytophthora too. Then you would have round watery spots on the leaves or sections of the stem becoming watery and rotten. Sometimes you just have to wait a while and see how it develops. I had lots of issues this spring, but...

Pretty much all the peppers are loading up nicely The annuums The baccatums are really productive, sadly the color of the aji mango and lemon drops are the exact same color as the leaves and are well hidden under the foliage. Impossible to make a picture to show the huge amount of pods hiding...

Harvested the last of the runted little pods and my first lemon drop today. Next year i will remove early fruitset on the chinense till temperatures are above 18C or so. Next round of chinense will be bigger and better!
