Potawie's Pepper Progress 2008

Here's a few more pics taken yesterday.

Here's a bishop's crown so full of peppers it can hardly support itself


And here's a chupetinha that I can't pick fast enough. I can almost taste a touch of heat in them this year


I found this fella, and he kept asking about IGGy and his martian giants:lol:
 
The plants look just beautiful with all these peppers!!! The tomatoe looks really funny. :) What variety is it? Is it just the pic or does it have a pink tint?
I certainly wouldn't mind a few tasty fresh tomatoes now, hmmmm.....
 
wonderful pics....yup...bishops crown going on the list for next year...what is their heat level?
 
The tomato is a mini Omar's lebanese so yes its pink. I have a big one just about ready to pick probably over 1 1/2lbs:P

The bishop's crown peppers are very mild. Some notice the "wings" are hotter but I rarely notice any real heat. They are great for stuffing and great for introducing non-chileheads(or chileheads' wives) to cool chiles without scaring them off. Also great for a garden snack.
 
I got three of these Aji dulce#2 plants that are a bit short but just loaded with peppers. I tried one the other day and they definitely aren't mild, and the pics I've seen look quite different from what I have. I think the seeds were purchased from tomatogrowers but I could be wrong.

Its late summer now and I'm starting to get lots of pods growing.
I've got this cili Goronong plant that doesn't want to grow tall, instead it continues to grow sideways. Its getting huge now and I just hope the branches don't snap

Here's an overhead pic


And here's the pods starting to really produce.
 
Late August pepper pics

Finally we're getting some nice summer days and things are perking up...well, not the tomatoes. Its just nice to walk around the garden without geting wet feet.

Here's my little greenhouse with some smaller plants recently added

The only hanging tomato I had this year was due to laziness:) It did alright but it was a determinate type and is finished producing now. My upside-down planters did poorly this year but the weather sure didn't help

You're actually growing it? they're some of the local weeds I just can't get rid of. they're everywhere! there's another type of plant very similar around work that is much more interesting. will take a picture later, but for now a real huge plant I took a shot of:

They've actually developed several ornamental varieties of Castor bean. Its funny too that the highly poisonous seeds were once used as baby rattles in some places
