glog Marturos 2025 Glog.

Hello everyone, welcome to my 2025 Glog.
2024 was a great year for peppers we grew many new varieties with great tasting pods.

2025 is looking good so far we just got the seeds planted & on the heating mats.
A little later than last season however with LEDs we needed to start the plants later.
Last season the plants were a little root bound by plant out..

I have 2 Puya plants or so I thought.
The one on the left looks like a Puya but the 2 on the right look like shishito.
Taste citrusy with a strong pepper taste tough skin like a Guajillo.

This is only one example of odd couples, we have 2 Aji Amarillos one 1.5" to 2" the other is 6" long still waiting for a color change.

Are those from the Puya seeds I sent you, Marturo? The reason I ask is I'm growing a Puya plant sourced from Sandia Seeds that I let open pollinate last year and its pods look hybridized just like yours on the right - they have the same three lobe nose and grow somewhat upward pointing. The Sandia puya is really good when grown true and I'm trying to recapture that and isolate seeds.

The thing is though, I'm pretty sure the puya seeds I sent you were isolated, indoor-grown seeds from a different source so... 🤔
 
Peppa peach stripey.

After my first bite I said let's cut the Asian pear up & eat it with this pepper. Pears well with pears LOL.
This is an eating pepper best raw I would guess, it's sweet & fruity with a low spice, now I have also been eating fresh scotchie sooo. 😉
A cool spreading plant with tons of pods all over I will grow this again. Thanks for the seeds @Bou

curious, does anyone have experience with sugar rush (stripey and/or peach) to compare in taste and heat to the peppapeach? i am a fan of SRP but they can take ages to ripen, and i wonder if smaller and more numerous pods on the peppa might make it a better choice overall due to the pod size decreasing ripening completion time...?

while we're at it, does anyone else think of peppa pig every time they read the name of this pepper?

@Marturo would have a better idea of that, but I will say that @Bou mentioned that the Sugar Rush Amarillo has {Edit: very good flavor, like SRP*}, and I am starting to see some blushing on my Sugar Rush Amarillo now. I believe I transplanted it on 5/11 and it started fruiting very shortly after (probably within a week and a half), so that's about 10 weeks from transplant to ripening. Not bad!

I will now!

*Note: this was edited for accuracy, Bou had said that the flavor of SRA was very good, like SRP, but I don't think was the person who said it was superior. I believe I read that somewhere else but I can't find the source.

This is the second season growing SRS & as for flavor heat & a long time to ripen it's king.
The Peppa Peach stripey is for snacking & eating out of hand a fine salad pepper we had some in fruit salad for lunch.

I am interested in growing the Sugar Rush Amarillo next season, sounds like a good pepper.
