pics Harvest

[nmlarson]

It was getting a bit late last evening and I was too tired to post the rest of the harvest then, so here it is.
 
Here are the rest of the "Gourmet" bells, destined to be marinated and canned.

 

Clockwise, from right:  "Elephant Ear," from Uprising Seeds.  These need to ripen up a bit more before processing, but there's a Farmers' Market every Sunday next to the Community Gardens and, inevitably, there's always some pilferage over the weekend.  There are still a few "Gypsy" on the plants there, and fingers are crossed they are still there this evening when I head back to the Gardens.  The Elephant Ears will also be peeled, marinated & canned with Aleppo.  Next are a few "Padron,"  one "Tam" jalapeno, a San Marzano, a couple of "Diva" cucumbers, some "Amish Finger" heirloom hot peppers, the "NuMex Sauve Orange" from the previous post, and in the center, another San Marzano.  For those who are interested, I'll post photos of the grill, marinate & canning process in an appropriate thread somewhere else on the site.
 

A group shot, along with the "Northeaster" pole beans.

I am a small-scale recreational grower.  We finally had some hot drier days, so ripening was on the increase while things dry out.

Nice haul! I have been wanting to try growing the Yellow Starfish. How does it taste compared to the red?

To me, the yellow is sweeter tasting with slightly less heat. Somewhat like a red ripe bell with a little heat. My taste palate is not very complex so someone else may be able to give you a better description.

That description will work just fine. Can you point me to a reliable seed source?

The seed I used came from PuckerButt Pepper Co. in 2015. You can check out the many venders here on THP also. I would think one of them would have them.

WTF, all of these have a hard bottom, what is causing this ??

The "exotics," at least for me, are beginning to produce a bit.  A bit of a personal critique of each plant is included here, also.
 
NuMex Sauve Orange, "Distinctive fruity flavor and aroma of a habanero with only a hint of pungency. Compared to Habanero, the avg. 2¼" fruits are slightly larger, plumper, more wrinkled, and ripen to a bright yellow-orange (contrasting Habanero's orange)." 
 
I REALLY like this pepper for adding lots of flavor and just a bit of heat.  This is my new favorite of the new varieties I'm growing this year.
 

 
Mad Hatter, "Slightly hot bishop's crown type.  These unusually shaped peppers resemble a bishop's crown. Fruits avg. 2 1/4" in diameter and are borne on big, bushy plants. Moderately sweet flesh with floral and citrus notes and a touch of heat near the seed cavity. AAS winner." 
 
Sweet, tastes like a bell pepper.  I didn't pick up any heat at all in the fruit I sampled, even in the placenta near the core.  The plant is very healthy and bushy, despite all the rain we've had.  It hasn't lost nearly as many leaves as the other pepper plants and is loaded.
 

 
Aji Jobito.  This seed came from The Hippie Seed Company.   The other two pepper seeds came from Johnny's Seeds.  "Aji Jobito is an extremely rare chilli pepper from Venezuela. Lots of the Aji peppers are from the Baccatum family, but not this beautiful chilli – it is a Chinense like the  Aji Panca. According to some people that have had the pleasure of trying it, this should be the best tasting non-hot C. Chinense.  The chilli plant looks amazing. It is a solid plant with big leaves and it grows to about 70 cm tall in a pot. The pods have an oval shape and are about 4 cm long and 3 cm wide. Starts off a light green and ends up orange, when the pod is ripe.  It is quite an exclusive one we have here and it’s not easy to get them.  Flavour wise: Sweet with a light Chinense flavour"  
 
This is an odd one.  Has the texture of like a bell pepper, in that it's crisp and juicy, but has no pepper flavor.  Yes, it's not hot, but I wouldn't call it sweet, like a sweet pepper, either.  I'm not picking up any pepper flavor of any sort.   It could be I picked it too early, or it could be all the rain we've had, or the fact I've never tasted a Chinense.  I'll try a more ripe one when I haven't had any other peppers to eat.  The plant is another one that has tolerated our rains, holding lots of fruit, still being bushy and retaining a lot of its leaves.
