S.Labuyo's 2010 grow log

Hello all!

I'm kinda new to this forum and I also grow chili peppers just like you. I'm located in the philippines so peepers here live longer because we don't have winter here. I had started several varieties during the start of this year but unfortunately most of them died due to the dry spell that hit of country, only a handful survived. thank god that the dry spell is over and i just started planting last month all over again.. most of my seeds where sent to me except for the indigenous cultivars.

here is my list(not really that impressive compared to you chili masters):
siling labuyo (indigenous here)
siling haba (indigenous here)
siling lara (indigenous here)
siling bilog (indigenous here)
long slim cayenne
golden cayenne
trifeti
ancho
peter
medusa
hot banana
inferno
golden bell
bhut jolokia red
yellow scotch bonnet
pequin firecracker
shishito
takanotsume


so far most of the are still in the plantlet stage, only a few reached their maturity due to the dry spell.

i just wanna ask were to get the exotic varieties of peppers both nuclear and ornamentals?

wish me luck guys.

hi siling_labuyo

how's your siling labuyo we bought yesterday? mine's looking good, i tried it already when we dine this evening

most leaves are used already for the ginisang munggo last sunday night. hehehehe

 

[siling_labuyo]

does that tastes like banana too?

actually im not really sure if hot banana and hungarian wax are the same. looks similar though. about the taste, its crunchy medium hot. might be good for sinigang or squid adobo.

 

[franzb69]

most folks in the states pickle the hot banana peppers to preserve them then slice them up and add them to their food like jalapenos afaik

 

[siling_labuyo]

love the flavor and heat of that pepper. crunchy and hot. good substitute for jalapenos.

 

[captain bhutter]

wonder how squid adobo taste when added with banana pepper

 

[franzb69]

Well erwin has pods. Ask him to cook some for ya. Hehe.

Banana peppers are usually harvested while yellow. Hehehe.

 

[captain bhutter]

siling_labuyo please do remember to bring a banana pepper together with squid on it on POS garden show

I'm on a chile quest for Siling Labuyo thought I better go to the source!

How are yours doing these days? Do they produce all year long in the Phils once established?

My wife unit and I had a fish soup in Bohol a few years ago that had 'sili' in a thin broth, and maybe some of the pepper leaves in there. I have dreams about re-creating that wonderful taste.

Somebody on the web told me the 'Thai Hot' from Seed Savers Exchange were Labuyo. Does the grouping of pods in the picture look right to you? They also refer them as c.annuum but others have said frutescens or chinsense?
Thai Hot at SSE

So I grew them, now 2" tall. These are at 6 wks, do the leaves look correct? You and Franz had good discussion about variations, what do you guys think? If it walks like a s.labuyo and burns like an s.labuyo, is it? I would like to get an authentic wild one but since its my first time, will settle for a close runner-up!

Most of my peters were fairly seedy last year. With low production, I probably harvested 1/8th of a cup.
