I figured I could start one of these now that I have two different plants growing.
Some of last year's Cayenne seeds from a foaf who sells in a farmer's market. I started these back in June.
The dried pods from last year
Seedlings to be divided
Newly divided seedlings
Back in March I planted a packet of Minorcan Datil seeds.
I ended up with two plants which made it to maturity. One is a Datil, and one is either a hybrid, mutant, or another seed entirely.
The flower in singles, never doubles, so they aren't chinense, maybe annuum, or frutescens?
Who knows...they grow well, pretty prolifically, taste good, look good, and aren't too hot for "normal" people to enjoy. So I'm growing the heck out of them. They are thick skinned and somewhat fleshy, not like Thai peppers. They stay orange when ripe.
I'm calling them Hurricane peppers cause they're orange and look like Sebastian's beak...and I need to call them something.
I've planted out a tray of 4" pots with seeds on 7-2-12 and they've just started sprouting yesterday,
I did a tray of 70 peat pellets last week, and being impatient, I also started some in ziplocks with paper towels...
Now I need to build a new bench to hold all these babies.. that's next weekend's project.
