Howdy, read through this entire thread, took me a week, a bit at a time. I planted several pepper seeds (21 varieties) the end of January, then bought 5 plants later on this year choosing a wide variety of seeds and plants including one wild Tepin. At the time I didn't know what a wild was, it just looked like a pepper I wanted to grow. After that I started wandering around the net reading up on peppers (including watching Nigel's videos), which I guess I shoulda done before I started growing them all because I would have more wilds growing now. Early May I placed an order on ebay for some Aji Charapitas from Peru, but they never made it. Just found another place them get them and some Cumari do Paras (very much liked Nigel's video on them). Ordered some Aji jobito seeds from Lindberg on this forum, but not sure if they will make it past the USDA either. I have a backup of most peppers, (2 of some) so growing over 50 plants. Anyway I thought i would like to post a picture of each of my 5 1/2 mo old tepins
This is really such a nice delicate looking plant that hardly looks like a pepper, I love this plant. Although I now understand that it may not return my love and try to kill me later on when the peppers get ripe.
This last one was growing straight up and real thin, so I cut it off, you can see where I cut it. Starting to branch out now.
Compared to the rest of the pictures on this thread, looks like I am going to have to study up a bit on how to take better pictures, or I may get a "D" in Wild pepper 101
