Dwarf Chiltepin 'Hermosillo', Semillas la Palma 2022

Time to quit dragging my feet and get this season underway.
Last season was OW plants only with two exceptions. This
year I am growing all new plants from seed gathered from
my 2022 harvest and limited to Tepin and Chiltepin varieties.
If the spirit moves me I might try for some OW chinenses
varieties later on.

Plants are looking awesome, Paul! You're gonna have to hire somebody to come pick all those little berries, lol.

Do tell, DR! As usual, hoping for a nice Oct.-Nov.
stretch of ripening weather! I'll be looking for volunteers : )

Thanks, Marc! Do you know which variety you are growing?
Grinding use as a powder/seasoning. Other wise just too darn hot for me.

The packet from Vivian says it's F4 (Yellow/Caramel).
Here's a pic.

So you're saying they're hot? They'll probably go into the yellow powder batch then, but I need to taste them properly first.
Still around 20 pods on the plant.

Moved plants into greenhouse.

Left these tall plants outside; c. chacoense, Purple Thunder F5 yellow,
Trippaul Threat F7 violet, all over 40-42" (around 1+ meter):

Wish I had a greenhouse need one about that size to extend my growing season maybe someday

Your grow is doing great fall weather here so season will be done before you know it .

Those pods look right on, Uros! I’m growing the F5 version this season.

For the crazy growing weather we’ve had, not too bad.
Aside from the wind related incident it has been pretty
uneventful. I can feel the cool Fall temperatures settling
In already. Hoping for a nice October and November.

Great, and they're really darn hot, just as you said.

Same plant, really getting the ripening paintbrush out:

The broken branch from the Red Habanero finally is giving up the ghost,
The new growth underneath the break looks very promising, eh?
