We had a few days of warmer weather which kicked started some of the pods to ripening (FINNALY). Here’s some pics for you all to enjoy! Feel free to discuss and ask any questions.

Aji Lemon

Big Piquins (a possible new variety)

Illinois Bundle Flower’s…uh…flower

These were Chocolate Habaneros but they look to have crossed since they are not chocolate colored anymore.

These are their fruit that I picked up off the ground today (I opened one of them up so you can see the fruit)

Ahhh yes, the great composter of nature. Mushrooms growing on a wood pile in my friends garden.

Are those wild Brazil a close cousin of wild tepin chillies from Mexico?

Ya know those ground cherry things are related to our good friend the Tomatillo AKA the Mexican Groundcherry?

Nope, different species (Annum vs Chinense). But they sure do like alike at first!

Not that great, mushy and papery.....what? you're not supposed to eat the husk?


Actually, they taste pritty good. Slightly sweet with a hint of tartness. Imagine a tomato crossed with a cherry and you got the flavor.

Ahh, like a cherry tomato, only not.

What color do the Wild Brazils ripen too? How do they taste? They look very similar to my cumari plant.

Yep, Kirk Hammet of Metallica was the person responsable for my addiction to that pick. 0.88 mm, not heavy, but not medium as well. Perfect for both metal, blues, noise, rock and everything in between. I usually go through a pack of them every 6 months. I like to keep them semi fresh, lends alot to tone.
