After finding out most of my seed stock had gone bad, I decided to have some fun with what's left. I took the remainder of my Aji Dulce (Peru) seeds and let them soak in rainwater for 48 hours. The plan was to let the seeds soak and then plant in a pot as a last attempt. Today when I looked at the seeds closely, I noticed one had already sprouted! I decided to just change out the water and let them keep soaking. I'll change the water every couple of days for now. I put the one seed that germinated in a peat pellet, let's hope for the best.

You're going to have 200 sprouts, I guarantee it.

This experiment is a dud. The one germinated seed never popped up after planting. Even with frequent water changes there is no signs of anything else germinating in the cup. *Misson aborted*

You got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em, know when to walk away, know when to run.

Just ordered Datil seeds from 2 different sources and Aji Dulce seeds from Puerto Rico. These will be the last seeds I buy for now. Time to stop buying and start growing.

I'm still waiting for the rocoto seeds from Canada and have a few low to no heat varieties to drop, then I'm done. Gotta put the grow tent together tonight, just arrived today.

For 'now'?

For 'now'?

Yes I like to live in the moment. That moment is over so back to buying seeds

The Peruvian Cerezo really stands out from the crowd. It’s darker than the other peppers and the leaves seem a little thicker. It’s not trying to stretch and is happy growing in the canopy of the other plants. This baccatum should grow small peppers that look similar to pequin but possibly bigger. Not much info out there other than what’s on Texas Hot Pepper website : “South American variety that is rarely seen outside of local South American towns. Baccatum variety, great for culinary use.”

There are several varieties I've never heard of, such as "inek boynusu". For this Turkish-sounding name, Google gives me several images of the following type:

Only the best horn-y for OnlyPeppers

Yeah I had to Google that one too. I think it’s a cow horn pepper. @CaneDog what’s the story behind this one?

It's vigorous and produces early. Easy to grow. Big corked peppers.

You can see a pod picture in this post.


Haha. @ahayastani - these one's don't look anything like what that lady's got right there

That's super cool. Reminds me of the Farmer's Market Jalapeno.

Same for me, but the corking is different.
According to DeepL, inek boynuzu are cow horns . The pepper in CD's image does have some beef...

I had to search/look up the translation of "Inek Boynuzu" to learn that as well. Plus I'd seen the "Boynuzu" part spelled at least three different ways, so that's when I figured out the spelling and all made sense.

It's easier for me to just call them "Inek," which I supposed makes them just cows

More like a vezena piperka...

And, Albanian Red Hot, I grew it after watching a review of it by Nigel Carter on YouTube.
