After travelling to Colombia and practically being force fed the juice of these at every sitting,I kind of developed a taste. My contempt for tomatoes is no secret,but these are quite different. The terrible qualities of a tomato,but extra tangy with a guava flavor.So,here I am again attempting...

Here is a mustard colored spinoff of the iconic Mini Olive Rocoto. This season I was trying to grow the original again as they are one of the best tasting peppers out there. I grew two plants and this is how one turned out. These are substantially hotter than the original with the flavor being a...

First time growing this interesting one. Would love if someone else was able to share their experience or photos.                     

It's been awhile since I posted any plants so here goes. My chili grows are all boring,small and annuums,so I might as well start posting plants in this section. This is a Jaltomata very closely related to procumbens and darcyana. These plants tolerate more heat like their Mexican sisters and...

I had zero success with mine and I am looking for a legit source. We can set up a trade or purchase,your choice. I have countless Solanaceae for trade.  

Typical large podded yellow variety. Literally translates to yellow giant. I have another large yellow growing that is more prolific,but these are super blocky and uniform,really nice genes. I am biased to the flavors of yellow and orange pods so I won't go into a lot of detail.  Less grassy and...

First time growing this fairly rare variety. Seems to be a spin-off of the mini yellow but it's genesis is not quite clear. Surprisingly good flavor!

This plant is from pods that Judy (pepperlover) sent me years ago. It produces smallish pods but makes up for it in flavor and heat. These pods are more appealing to me as I prefer yellows and oranges over red varieties. Fruit on these are damn hot,and have the juiciness of citrus fruit.     ...

New variety for me this year.  Plant was a bit off in the early going but is putting on the pods now. Above average heat for C.pubescens and a very nice sweetness. Always a fine line when harvesting reds in my opinion,and better to leave them ripen long enough to avoid the grassy flavor that...

Damn hot,juicy,and one of the nicest tasting reds I have grown. This one is hard to leave off of the list every year.                

Large version of the Brown Rocoto. More of the classic apple shape as opposed to the other browns that have been in our circles for years. Fairly rare one that should be more freely available soon.                

Another cool Solanaceae like Capsicum and Solanum. Not as widespread or useful,but should be fun plants.   I figured I would do a running glog of these instead of a big photo dump at the end of the season. I have 5 species sown and will document them here if things play out properly. First up is...

C.praetermissum variety from Espirito Santo.                          

                   

Had the pleasure of growing this species after years of trying to procure pure seed. Not sure if this is 100% legit,but it's as close as what I have seen sketches of and what's been described in Capsicum literature. Definitely different than any eximium or Rocopica I have grown to date.      ...

Spin-off of the quintessential red tepin. Same prolificacy,habit,and pinchy lip burn you get with the original.                      

Thought I would post a couple photos of this one being as it isn't your typical round podded,juicy leafed pube. Was digging the super stellate flowers and lanceolate leaves. Mid-March sowing and early August harvest for this one. Very prolific and minimal flower drop with a scorching summer that...
