It was a first for me and I still don't understand well how/why it happened. It was not particularly hot, I was not that long out in the sun, and I even wore a hat - something I normally never doRight on, brother. Heat exhaustion and sunstroke
are no laughing matter. I experienced it climbing
a mountain in the summer when I was young and
bullet-proof.
Based on the length of that shadow the sun must still be quite high in the sky, even though it's winter...

And the right location!You certainly live on the right continent to do so!
The "dump the seeds in" trick usually gets results!
I like the idea of tracking down local heirlooms, who knows how much beautys are out there to be discovered.

I dried them up and used some this past weekend to make piri-piri chicken by following Chillichump's recipe
Nice "tiger"pod shape mate, spot onTaj Mahal Pink/Peach, a variety that has been developed by Bryan Townshend from Taj Mahal Orange Tiger, a creation from Enrico Lai. This is quite a big plant, at least 1.5 m in a 4 g grow bag. It has only recently begun to set fruit.
Nice "tiger"pod shape mate, spot onI love the taste of Bryan's Taj Mahal orange (tiger/minion). I've tried to grow the mustard variation 2 years in a row but my growing season is not long enough for this one... damn I should have sent the remaining seeds your way!
Strange cause I had better luck with the orange minions back in 2020. Don't know about the pink/peach but the orange was very flavorfull and so were the few mustard I harvested!Even under my growing conditions, this plant has taken its time... It was sown in (early) September I believe.

I fell for the looks of that pepper. The pod shape indeed agrees with the advertised shapeJust imagine, half a year of growing to find out the pheno is off... And I'm already very happy with what you've sent, no worries

Cool, they are both awesome producers and on my must grow list!!Time to introduce two new players in the game: Aji Ahuachapan and Bih Jolokia Caramel.
I'm growing two plants of Aji Ahuachapan. I've placed one plant at each side of a palm tree (in container) in the corner of the terrace garden. One plant is larger than the other, but both are flowering with many more buds ready. There are some runner beans there as well (I'm growing them to obtain more seeds only).
Bih Jolokia Caramel is taking off. By the looks of it, it'll become one heck of a plant...
