Flavours of the Caribbean (Mainly)

Thought it was about time I put on blog on here as requested by a good friend Gary (wind chicken).
I got to know Gary having done a seed trade over 2 years ago via fb, and have always admired his growing.
As title says most of my grow will be bonnets as I love Caribbean cuisine especially Jerk chicken, curry goat etc.

I started some rocotos quite early as I know they take forever to ripen..

First time I've ever grown rocoto and pleased with progress so far.

The rocoto,s are red rocoto, tropical orange f3, and De seda.

Will make a proper grow list when I receive the p.dreadie select seeds kindly sent by Gary and one I'm pleased to have as a memory to Erin.

Another one already up and waiting to be potted on is Carrot Jolokia which I was kindly sent by Ben (bpiela), took ages to sprout a hook, but got one in the end.

Just waiting on a few stubborn bonnets to show hooks before finalizing what's a keeper.
 
Know quite a few of the british growers on here as there active members of a forum we all share

Dennish

Rick that Chocolate Bhutlah is destined for a real hot curry buddy, the other pods will be smoked over cherry dust then dried. And added to some Caribbean jams. [emoji41] [emoji106]

All is looking good your way Sim!
 
So glad to see the beautiful pods that came out of your grow
 
And Paul, it may not be you, this site has been lagged lately, AKA as slow. I type and it takes 15 seconds to see my typo butchery....LOL

I think we're all praying for a Indian summer to get a lot of green pods fully ripened.

Just pulled these Hainan Yellow Lanterns, and Cappuccinho Scotch bonnets. ( cheers Mike USMC)

Naga Morich need some sun to fully ripen. Decent size pods. [emoji35] [emoji35] lol.

Thanks for looking and happy growing. [emoji6]

Just like you, our season has no rules. It's usually the middle of October sometimes longer. But we're looking at over a week of 80°(F) days. It's only been in the 60's for highs and 40's for lows, Fahrenheit. I'm betting a lot more will ripen up for me.

The bonnets look great Sim! Congrats on a successful grow this season!
 
I'm leaning towards a more bonnet grow next season for the hotter ones. They're simply great, and at least the wife will consider dealing with one as opposed to the supers. Although I really need a Reaper to make pods, I simply love the flavor, they have this cherry thing going on   But small amounts here and there...lol

So cool to see CGN21500 growing. Hadn't seen too many folks this year with those. Can't believe I left it off the list. One of the best tasting peppers on the planet! Good time reading over your blog man. Cheers!

CGN21500 look like my Roxas, just mine are purple pink.
