OK I'm going upstairs to start some alfalfa sprouts. It's on now :-)

 

[skullbiker]

Another one in the cup too darn long!
 

 
Flower on my Arequipa Giant Red Rocoto.
 

 
A few of the ones I picked this morning. Ripe Hatch Green Lumbre X-Hot, Paquime Hybrid Jalapeno, Tibetan Lhasa, and Orange Pepperoncini.

Makes my mouth water, friend!

 

[Harry_Dangler]

Damn nice.  Fully ripe Lumbres  ..... I've got a bunch but they're about 3.5 weeks from plant out!  I've also got Rattlesnakes and some Barker's Hot .... was going to compare them.

Better get the bib on..... looks like things are rolling along, for now!

I have not tried either of those other ones, will see what you think of them first. I think the Lumbres are going to make a good fermented sauce!

 

[skullbiker]

So I planted a few White Habanero seeds out of some of my OLD seeds and was expecting to see the little white jelly bean like pods. As this is the first plant to have a pod, this definitely is not that pheno. I guess I will just have to wait and see the final color on this pod and maybe what the other plant produces.

Woohoo unintended crosses are fun

And I have a lot of them! March onward with open pollination, as nature intended.

 

[skullbiker]

Looks like we have Brazilian Starfish in the area.
 

 

[skullbiker]

Ugh, double post!

 

[skullbiker]

I was walking through the garden area this morning when I heard a crack, and then a snap, and thats when I saw one of my rocotos in a 2 gal pot had a problem!
 

 
I tied up the half of the Y that was still hanging on and sealed it. Now to wait and see.
 

 
The half that broke completely off just had its first flower.
 

 

[skullbiker]

Got a few ripe or close to it.
Tibetan Lhasa
 

 
Douce D Espagne
 

 
Marconi Red
 

 
Antep Aci Dolma
 

 
World Record Big Jim(I had got these seeds from chileseed.usa a few years ago)
 

 
Equidorian Sweet Rocoto(getting gnawed on tonite)
 

 
Meanwhile, the lizards could care less as they have other things on their little minds!
 

 
 

 

[skullbiker]

Well, I tried that Rocoto Equidorian Sweet Pepper. I am going to hold judgement on it as it was the first pod and first pods are not always a good indicator. It had medium heat but I did not taste any sweetness, just kind of a bland taste on this pod. 
 

 

[skullbiker]

I picked a few of the Antep Aci Dolma pods. I had a good sample from the center one. The taste seemed to me to be sweet pepper/bell pepper cross, slight heat in the main wall of the pod but the ribs(and I assume the placenta) has the heat of a good Jalapeno. I think I will try these in a fermented sauce but i think they would be good in stir-fry or diced up in a salad. 
 

 
Is this a Jalazard or a Lizapeno?  Inquiring minds want to know!
 

 

[Tybo]

I bet you don't have much of a bug problem with those lizards around!

 

[skullbiker]

I bet you don't have much of a bug problem with those lizards around!

Between those and the garden spiders a lot of the bugs are taken care of. I also have a number of Four Tooth Mason Wasps in the garden, they are pollinators as they collect nectar but they also capture non-hairy type caterpillars to feed their larvae.

 

[skullbiker]

Look at all the flowers and buds on this Rocoto San Isidro.
 

 
And this is one of the guardians of that plant.
