first grow season

[Jonbob]

The Pusa Jwala, I've already picked a couple of ripe chillis from it

A trinidad scorpion, slow to grow but looking pretty good.

The best of the Purple tigers, I have more of these than anything else, but they are a very nice looking plants, can't wait to try the first ripe chilli from this one

This is a Siam Hot (or at least that's what the label on the plant I got from the nursery said) All other were started from seeds from Hippy Seed Co Neil.

Not sure if it is just me, but the photo links aren't working...

Sorry I just totally stuffed that up, the photos are on my blog http://petercundallisgod.blogspot.com/2010/02/chillies.html, probably easier to view them there, sorry about that

Great looking plants, thanks for sharing!

Nice plants JonBob, the Pusa Jwala looks like a good producer.

They taste good too. Nice plants jon.

great looking plants for a first timer...congratulations..

Some may differ with me, but if I were you, I would eliiminate any leaf touching the soil or mulch...reason being, this is a path nasties such as ants carrying aphids or cut worms/slugs can use to get on the plant...I keep my leaves at least one inch off the ground/mulch...

I've pushed the mulch out the way now, I'd hate to lose that scorpion.
the Pusa Jwala is a fantastic producer, the heat caught me by surprise when I ate one fresh off the plant
Came home last night and one of the Aji Lemons is ripe I'd post a picture, but for some reason I don't have permission I'm hoping I can overwinter them in a sun room and move two or three at a time under lights to keep getting crops over winter

This is the first ripe pod on the Aji Lemon and I got pictures working, thanks

 

[kiddc]

[Noshownate]

Can't wait to have some fresh pods of that variety myself
'
how was the flavor and heat on that?

Nice plant!

 

[Skydiver]

Looking good, mate.

 

[Jonbob]

Not sure about the Aji Lemon heat and taste yet, first taste test will be this weekend Neil (THSC) rates it about an 8 which is what he rated the Pusa Jwala and they knocked my socks off.

This was taken this morning, I still need to get in there and trim back some of the leaves touching the mulch.

Great looking plants

Just tasted the Aji Lemon, nice heat probably about a 7 or 8, I couldn't pick up much of a citrus flavour to them, it was there, but very faint.
I reckon they'll be great to use to make Thai fishcakes when I have a few more ripe ones

Nice healthy looking Pusa Jwala...
