Lee's 2010 WildChilli Grow season

Thx Brito. Just give me a piece of your land..

Tried a C.flexuosum pod and they taste so good, sweet at the beginning and some nice heat to it as well. I'm glad it's the "hot" variety. I collected 12 seeds from 1 pod and they all passed the sinker/floater test. Will germinated some as soon as they dried but I'm sure they will do just fine..

Splitted C.schottianum var. flexuosum pod.

The weather hasn't been to good lately here in Holland so we decided to go on a short trip to Corfu (Greece). Nice island and the weather has been good before it rained continuously for 2 days. Did some exploring on the island but without any luck.

Ok back to the Wilds. Harvested some of them before I left. Also got a chance to taste the Tepin from Eastern Travis county and all I can say is that those little things are very hot and made me feel a little uncomfortable. At first they taste like a regular green bell pepper followed by a piercing burning sensation witch caused a waterfall in my mouth, luckily it ended within 10 min or so.. Was kinda happy with it

C.chacoense, C. schottianum var. flexuosum and Heart Throb.

The weather is good here in the Netherlands for this time of the year but I can say that we had a lousy summer, most plants are still ripening there fruits.. But in case winter kicks I have a backup plan. Remarkable is that most species bear the cold very well. Especially C.praetermissum (different vars.) and C.flexuosum have no problems with low temperatures. C.rhomboideum doesn't like the cold at all! Like last year it dropped most of it's leaves. The C. eximium varieties I have all dropped there leaves. C. cardenasii on the other hand maintained it's bushy/shrubby foliage.. Anyway I took some pictures of my crop this weekend.
