BigStewMan Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 @jimjimbo Jim, what are those tiny ones? I’ve really developed a liking for the ghost peppers thanks to @oldtimer latest batch of sauce. sadly, my bottle is nearly empty; but, i have three bottles of the other flavors still unopened--including a LARGE bottle of the green.

CECAA850 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Looks good Jim. I've had a weird harvest this year. All my plants but 2 are still producing fruit. The 5 color plant is absolutely full. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC39693 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Ok, while your harvest is on ... we Calgarians are getting ready for the first snow fall of the year and bringing all my plants inside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are the Aji Charapita, which are from South America, and are considered some of the rarest peppers, very unusual and hard to find. They have a citrus character and are mighty hot..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too, most of the time. Early Fall here means early Winter. Get your snow shovel out! Next couple weeks good time to plant garlic for next year. 😉 Wb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillyBob Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 asking for a snow shovel will get funny looks here Jim, Do you notice a change in potency if you stress the plants for water during fruiting? I've heard that comes into play [to a certain extent. I know genetics matters] in some varieties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillyBob Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Record high temp is 117` in Tucson. It rarely breaks 100` where I live. Phoenicians can say that, too... unless the A/C goes down. They live indoors. We get snow twice a year [on average]. Too cold to grow oranges. Near enough cold to reliably grow apples. Freezes regularly in the winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In some varieties I do (like the gorgeous orange habaneros), but in others, (like reapers), it's very hard to tell, given their natural potency..... I intentionally stress all of them regardless though. They are all fruiting now, flowering is pretty much done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC39693 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 @WillyBob no problem re. SA, it's deserved when ... I have a house on Vancouver Island yet still find myself somehow here in Cow Town waiting for the snow to arrive. I like hot sauce, keep it around to make sure I'm alive when it's -25 Celsius out. That and Scotch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frzninvt Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 The little ones look like chile' pequin peppers (bird's eye peppers) I brought seeds from South, Texas and grew some up here in the great white North. I bring the plant insude during the witner months and take it back out in the spring. I thought is was a goner this past year as it got scale and after treating it with warm water/soap solution three times only to have it come back I cut off every limb and leaf but it bounced back! I love the flavor they have. Also a fan of serranos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
