These little pods are pretty tasty and they have decent heat...

Potawie...yes, a pequin taste to them but the burn is different...I will eat one in a little while and describe the taste and burn better...

Thanks Paul and Omri....

Omri...just remember they are ornamentals and only get about 14 inches tall in a 6inch pot...they remind me of the trees in africa that have a long trunk with a flat top...almost shaped like a "T"...

I have smaller ones, so that's ok. :lol:
Do you have the name of a proper source? a link is good, too. :)
Thanks.
 
Just ate one....hard to describe the taste...earthy?...burn is immediate up front, top of tongue, lips, upper back of palate, harsh burn goes away quickly with a warm sensation lingering for several minutes....
 
I have pics but I must warn you...they have been completely ravaged by aphids...I wasn't watching the plants and before I knew it...the stems were white with the nasty sobs...the plants are in ICU now because I resorted to chemical warfare...

Here is a "not so good" shot with lots of peppers so imagine all the different colors of what I picked strewn about the plant..

That is horrible AJ...I hope you slaughter every last one!!! But, please...what ever ya do don't send them north...I'm stressed as it is right now ;)

BTW (and I'm scared to ask) how many plants did you have to put in ICU? I hope that they all bounce back even stronger than before.
 
I only have the 2 little elfs actually in ICU but am still fighting the aphids on most of the others outside. Slowly, so ever slowly I am gaining on the aphids. Will have all out war on them within the next two or three days. I have enough ammo for full out chemical warfare on the whole crop.

Ahh!!! got on there, selected a Little Elf pack and suddenly I found myself buying $40 worth of seeds! grr... you did this to me! it's all your fault! enabler!!!

Still think you're the man! ;)
 
I hate to even go to any seed supplier site. It makes me want to get seeds for next year. But it is way too early for me now.

I think you will be pleased with the Tomato Growers seeds. I had good results from their products this year.
 
AlabamaJack every time i think ive finshed sowing seeds for the season you tempt me again..pretty little peppers and thx for the link to as ever,cheers buddy my credit card comes out again :lol:

omri i no what you mean lol
 
Nice looking plant. For aphids outside I use a garden hose with some soap in my fertilizer injector and spray at as high a pressure as I can and I try to do it away from other plants so that the surviving aphids don't come back right away.
 
i no its a silly question POTAWIE but what soap do you use..as i have just bought a new hose with a fertilizer fitting for my none organics.:)
