These are the first of my Fatalis to ripen. They're a bit on the small side, as the first pods tend to be (larger one's not much over an inch long), but it's a start. They started changing colour yesterday and I'm surpsised how quick they turned. The smaller one has already been scoffed on a sandwich and the other hasn't long to live. It's the first one I've ever eaten and won't be the last. Wasn't outrageous hot but I'm sure as the larger ones ripen that will change.... I just wish my 7pots will hurry up and ripen.
It came from the fatalii comparison plant ~9 months olds!
. There are plenty of others around here who do though. As for flower drop, my Dorset Nagas don't seem to be liking the heat, with only one pod set so far and lots of flower drop, and no Scorpions or Bihs have set. The Nagas seem to be the first plants to wilt with the heat. The Yellow7s and Jonah7s, however, are setting fruit like nobody's business, they never wilt even on the hottest days and they just keep on keeping on. I'm pretty impressed with these plants. The Fatalis are setting heaps too. All are in the same dirt and getting the same water and fertilizers. I think I need to update my grow log.... if only I could remember where I left it.
