Yeah, that's sure!

Thanks for the love folks.

ShitGum is my Shishito x Yellow BBG

I did grow the HRS x MP last year malarky and I had a few really nice pheno's pop up. I really enjoy growing F2's because of all the diversity you get between offspring. When I find the "one" I can't live without I will try and bring it into a stable variety. Cheers

Holy shit .... that's a nice list FB ... all the very best for this season looking forward to a mature ScotchBubble

Good to see you got your shit in order!

Couldn't resist

We hope you didn't say "That's enough of this shit" this spring...

Glad to see you're keeping your hand in D... even if you're not getting too ambitious. +1 on #10... anybody who can grow as well as you do at your latitude definitely has their shit straight.

I love shishito peppers. I think I have about 7 or 8 going this year. I love the bleeding calyx too. Any chance I might be able to score some seeds on a trade? Probably too late to start them now but maybe next year..

Edit: any pics of what the plants look like? All my shishito have the slender leaves. Be interesting to see how that crossed with the chinense.

Hi Rick thanks for stopping by. This year was up in the air due to my mother being really sick and taking care of her and getting married in a couple months it didn't look like I had time or the ambition. But I guess I couldn't get away from growing a few of my favorites no matter what. All the best to you and yours.

If you look in my glog from last season you should see some of the plants. They were all slightly different from each other in the F1 stage, so the F2's should be really interesting and all over the place. I don't have any seed as I planted all of them to try and find something really cool in the F2 stage. Cheers

ShitGum #2 looks promising. Shape is there, bbg calyx is there, taste is there so far, now if turns yellow it's a keeper.

tctenten · Jul 18, 2018

Hey man. Nice looking pepper you have there.

Hello my friend! I was thinking about you the other day, I hope you and the family are well and enjoying your summer.

tctenten · Jul 19, 2018

Everything and everyone is well. Enjoying the summer so far, any little ones running around yet?

Another ShitGum that is on the flavor list for next season. About Jalapeno heat, thin walls, excellent flavor.

Another stand out for flavor is one of my Jalafeugo x Yellow BBG's. Doesn't have the BBG calyx but the flavor is improved and the heat is almost double normal Jala heat.

Cheers

You're doing some cool work, FB.

Nice crosses that look like peppers one could actually eat! There is such an obsession with superhots that,IMO, are often too hot for most of us to enjoy unless we make use of them in sauces etc.

Thanks, I'm on a mission for peppers that taste really good, look really cool and are mild-medium in heat level. Cheers
