South Eastern in bucket seams to be growing fine and I think the two you speak of are different types of pepper plants I have grown them both or a variation of the AjiElpicante said:Has anyone in the south west been successful in growing aji dulce? They also go by the name aji cachucha.
Grass Snake said:I have in Texas. No different than growing a habanero.
The problem I'm having is with seeds not germinating. I have successfully germinated about 10-12 habanero plants and they were from the $1 store. I'm currently seed starting 12 I got from eBay and so 1 has popped out about 3 weeks in the seed tray.Elpicante said:I have in Texas. No different than growing a habanero.

1small jar of pitted olives with half of the brine
2 Tbs of capers
2 bushels of cilantro
