Am growing aa few micro tomatoes. This one is
the smallest. Seed came from Bunny Hop.

"Alright back in the saddle again. More great
chili ripening weather on the way!"

What the hell is that?? Did you prune down it like that? No way it just grows that small..

Edit: Hope I didn't block your duck replying too soon..

That is it's natural growth habit.
There are a lot of varieties of micro tomatoes,
just like their full sized brethren. Or sisters. You
can find out more at the Tomato Talk website.

Thanks, Fabrizio, I'll try to keep everything alive
I've had some lucky breaks with the weather for the
most part. The hail storm was no fun

I had a nice Tepin crop last year - you need some seeds?

Thanks Paul! I've plenty tepin seeds but they're pretty old and were already hard to germinate when they were fresh LOL
I'll shot you a PM with my addy

The Yaki Blue Fawn is ripening a bunch of pods at once,
as is the red habanero that picked up the purple gene.
Above the ripening pods, you can see a bunch of pointed
bhutish pods that are still dark green and purple. Ripening
pods on one fork, pointy pods on the other. Go figure:

The red pods on the left are Yaki BF. The red pods on
the right from the Red Habanero. I wonder if my
Red Hab crossed with the Yaki BF last year. All the
pods ripening on the Red Habanero look about the
same:

The yellow pod is the first ripe Beth Boyd Scotch Bonnet.

The Yellow Scorpion is loaded with pods sporting stingers.
The pod in the shadows just left of center has a ‘rat tail’ like
the pod this seed came from:

The Trippaul Threat White Lightening in the eight-inch
bulb pan is growing out some nice erect pods. Can’t
wait to see if they maintain the white color:

Love the shape of those pods they look awesome and complimented by the leaves a real beauty.

Thanks talas. Trippa, then in AU, created this cross in 2012,
I believe. I have been growing this strain out since 2014. We
are at generation 9 this season. I think it is stable

I should hope so lol playing catch-up so I'm sorry for not going back in history but I've read a lot more posts here about since the change to the new site and it's really great pheno.

Got around to the first harvest yesterday.
Pulled a bunch of runts along with a few
decent pods

Got an impressive haul of JA Red Habaneros
that I think crossed with the Yaki Blue Fawn.

PaulG · Sep 5, 2021

Some runty Fatali and Beth Boyd Scotch Bonnets.
There are some great phenotypes of each left on
the plants. Hope they ripen up.

Yaki Blue Fawn, #2 nursery pot.

Yaki Blue Fawn, #15 nursery container.

These Yaki are ginormous pods. Still quite a few to pick,
and a ton of the pointy ones on the other side of the plant
in the big container.

Some lovely pods Paul nice to see Beth's name mentioned she was a lovely women.
The Yakis look great how's the flavor Paul.

JJJessee · Sep 6, 2021

Looking great!
I've been been researching this Yaki BF, and your pods have the most attractive phenotype in my book.

Hey, talas. Yeah she is sorely missed in the pepper community.

The Yakis are stunning pods all right, hotter than Hades.
I'm a lousy judge of taste, sorry.

Thanks, Jesse. The seed came from CaneDog.
Same great pods last year, but no ripe ones.
Making up for that this season! If you are interested
in seeds, let me know and I'll make a note of it.
Saving seed from the biggest pods, all OP of course..

Since I am in between harvests, here’s some pics of the
micro tomatoes. The fooking tree rats got into them night
before last and cleaned off the Pinocchio (pic at top of page)
totally. It was covered with about 10-12 nice ripe, red pods
I was going to pick yesterday

I said some not-very-nice
things.

The little bastiges only got a few off the other plants, so I moved
them to a safe zone, I hope. I think the drought here is driving
them to consume ripe fruit, as they have terrorized my big tomato
plants too, gnawing on them before they are even ripe. Last season
was the first time this happened, and they just picked up where they
left off last Fall.

Hope to have more harvest pics up soon. A few days of warmer
temps seems to have motivated the plants a little. Sure would
like this dry spell to end. We need a ship load of snow in the
mountains for a few years to bring things back to normal.

Cool looking micros Paul. I might grow a few over the Winter. You got any favorites yet?

talas · Sep 9, 2021

Lovely micros Paul we've had the problem with Squirrels although it hast been a Extra hot summer here we haven't had much rain and I've noticed young squirrels eating anything which we haven't had before.
Well at least those micros will be delicious soon enough.
