A thread for hot pepper-a-holics...

[Squam256]

Bump!

Thus far I've already started or am starting the following:

Tabasco
Orange Habanero
Anaheim
Grove (Pequin)
Cayenne
Thai hot
Poblano
Sweet Banana
California Wonder Bell
Cascabella

[PennyG]

Good list so far Squam

[conejov]

You guys are making me hungry!
I started Red green, and orange Bell peppers.

Serrano
Bhut Jolokia (hopefully I will have better luck this time.

[PennyG]

I have started some of mine too, and plan on more, just awaiting a few trades.

look what I picked in the greenhouse. I hadn't really been looking at this plant, just watering it. I knew it had some peppers on it that were about ripe.

[Squam256]

Looks good sandy. Save the seeds!

[r3tic]

Don't save the seeds Sandy.....Send them to me!

[conejov]

Sandy those look more like Serranos than Bhut jolokia,

Heres a picture I found of Bhut Jolokia.

they're definitely not serranos, but the plant looks like crap, it's super stressed. I didn't know if it was even going to make it. The guy who brought it to me put it in the worst potting soil from the dollar store, packed it in real tight and brought it to me after a frost. The plant is still in that same crappy potting soil, and I've pretty much neglected it too other than pollenating it when it bloomed. I thought it would make them as hot as possible, like the "angry onions" on that whopper commercial! It seemed to make the fruit smaller though.
All three of us couldn't eat more than 3 very small 1/8" slices from the center of one fruit. It is so hot it makes your tongue go numb, and then about 5 minutes later, you wish it was numb again.

I grew some dorset naga last year, which are pretty much the same variety. I didn't have the guts to try one having watched a guy on youtube eat one, but they made excellent chilli oil.

I felt guilty after typing out that message and repotted it in some good potting soil yesterday, and in a bigger pot. I'm sure the next batch of peppers will be bigger. I also watched that video on you tube, after already trying the pepper. The guy that ate a piece with me and my hubby, he actually got sick after eating it, about an hour later. That guy on the video didn't look too good either. I'm glad I spit mine out! My hubby didn't have any ill effects, but he only ate a slice about 1/8th of an inch thick.

Hello Pepper Pals!


Here's a seed grown "Black Pearl" pepper plant that I grew all winter in the laundry room window, and noticed how great it's looking this Spring despite my negect of it...





It wasn't in full sun so that's why the leaves are currently more green than black but that will change soon because I've moved it to a sunnier location. It's already producing fruits...





How's everyone's capsicum plants doing anyway?

I picked up some cayenne peppers today from lowes.....Also picked up some pimento peppers also by accident. Some one put them back it the wrong place and of course im the one to grab them...lol

I want to make some hot sauce out of the cayenne's. Does anybody have any tips on how to make it??

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Cayenne are my favorite for heat and flavor.

This is a newly opened 'black pearl' blossom...





The fruits begin dark purple, appearing black, then ripen red.

Wow! Looks great, Ante.

You're in for a real treat - just be careful with the kids, as they're very attracted to the rainbow colors of the ripening fruits.

Aurora is my favorite. Hope you enjoy.
