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

[The Hollyberry Lady]

The colors are starting already, even though the plant is just beginning to set it's fruit. Notice in the 2nd shot, one of the peppers is bright purple and one is mauvey/violet? They even go through a white stage too! They're just the absolute best and I grow them every year. The fruits are super hot and surprisingly flavorful also. I'd have to say it's my all-time favorite type. You'll soon see why...

Wow how neat! Bonsai peppers

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Very nice, Millworkman...and thanks for sharing!


Love the Bonsai Pepper plant. How adorable!

Ok so here are three more "Explosive Amber" plants in one pot, but they're just getting started...





They're beginning to set fruits and will grow more full over the season.



I'm ashamed to say these are my "Filius Blue" pepper plants in desperate need of fertilization, which they received today...





There are actually 4 plants in one pot but I got the seeds later in the season and so they got neglected a bit because I was busy tending to all my other pepper varieties with fruits on them!


Don't underestimate those 'filius blue' plants though...I'll have them looking great in no time. They're already setting buds and I can't wait to see the fruits because they're as close to actual blue as you can get (except for the ones my grandmother used to grow).


Will show soon...


: )

[Willow87]

As usual those are nice plants. I added some Epsom salts to my AG so I hope that helps my peppers out. I can't wait to see the peppers on the Filius Blue. So how big are the pots that you have them in?

[The Hollyberry Lady]

I've shamefully got the Filius Blue plants in a 3 and a 1/2 inch pot because I'm dwarfing them!


I didn't realize I was getting the seeds until I had already sown my indoor pepper crops and I didn't have a lot of room left in my south windows, which is where I wanted them to grow.


Some pepper plants I just grew this year for seed though and once I collect them I'm giving the plants to my girlfriends. I will have more room in mid to late summer and I grow some of my best peppers in Autumn. Oh wait until you see what I will have. I'm even sowing more pepper seeds now to get ready for a late Autumn harvest!


Ok these mystery fruits from Janan are super duper HOT






I mean VERY hot!


: )

[Willow87]

You should open up your own pepper nursery lol. I like the little red peppers, they remind me of Christmas

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Not that I'd need the money (I could donate the proceeds to the little girl I sponsor in Africa) but if I grew many of my beautiful pepper varieties and set up a little table...they'd sell like crazy! I just know it. Especially these ones...





See the green one with orange stripes?!


: )

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Christmas?!


Oh wait until you see Fish pepper plant Cam, when it's white & green with red fruits all over it!!!


: )

[Jananas Bananas]

That green with orange stripes is really cute! Is that the same plant that had the chocolate and purple stripe?

[Willow87]

Wow Sherry that's a cool pepper! That's so wonderful that you are sponsoring a child.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Yup, I've been sponsoring her for over three years now, Cam. Through a reputable place though, where 100% of your money actually goes to the child!


Yes Janan, it's the same plant. Isn't it too cool?! It grows like an actual tree and the branches are horizontal!!! It totally reminds me of "purple tiger" in a huge way. I just absolutely love it and know people who would go nuts over it.


: )

[Willow87]

Thats so wonderful Sherry. I think my Fish pepper is growing a new leaf

[Jananas Bananas]

Your fish will be very happy in your AG Cam. It will be putting out a leaf or two every day or every other day once it gets started.

Sherry can you use your macro and take some tight close ups of those striped peppers? I really like those a lot.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Best I can do until I get the sony back, Janan...















: )

[Jananas Bananas]

Thank you very much! The top one almost looks like a teeny watermelon. They (the mystery peppers) have a rounded rectangle look to them don't they, or is it just how they photograph? Is there any other known peppers that have that shape?

Love those FISH! I keep checking mine every day for little buds.

[Willow87]

I look forward to seeing some new growth Janan. I guess I need more patience lol. Sherry those are beautiful pictures. I love the Fish Pepper the most

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Yes Janan, the mystery peppers are block shaped, and rectangular! That's why they remind me of 'purple tiger' as well, because of the shape. I really am enjoying them and have seeds collected already.
