Delicious garden cross
I grew these peppers this year from my cayenne pepper seeds I saved last year. They are thin walled, moderately hot, and about 5-6" long - clearly a cross. The other peppers I grew last year were serannos, poblanos, and Giant Marconis. Based on the size and taste I suspect they are a cross between the cayennes and Marconis.
These peppers are rich red, very prolific, and absolutely delicious, starting sweet and fruity, and then the heat slowly creeps in. After drying them I was just eating them whole and crispy before flaking the remainder! I saved the seed, knowing they will not grow true, but I may try anyhow. Does anyone know if seeds for this particular hybrid are available commercially? TomNJ/VA |
