Aussie Peppers 2007

[Grub]

Hi Shelley,

I really liked Sonora and, like everything, it was quite spicy. I thought it hotter than Anaheim and Big Jim. Only reason I'm not growing it, he he, I have two of them still in the bed Productive, too. I pickled some as well. Not as big or seedy and not as much of a stuffer as a flavour one.

Here's a pic of an overwintered Anaheim from today's garden. Thanks to MDVCP for all your help. This one's for you.

Best, Grub.

Those look absolutely wonderful and a prolific plant. Two years ago I got seeds for it in a trade, but most of the seeds were crushed in mailing and the ones which were not, did not germinate. I have one seed left, but I do not have high hopes for it.

Your pictures make me drool and forget all the snow outside. I hope that seven months from now I will have plants looking like yours.

Svalli,

I don't bag flowers and, as you can see, the distances between them aren't great, but I will save seeds from the early Amazon Chili Roma fruit and you are welcome to some if you email me.

Best, Grub.

Sounds great GH... I am trying amethyst this year too... only a small plant but on its way. Let me know how yours do. I love Thai food.

[gardenhappy]

have any of you tried these:
wenk's yellow hots,king of north,fatalii,tolli's sweet itaian???
Are they good??

[Grub]

Yes, fatalli. Grew two last year and they were huge plants and very very high yielding. Red C. Chinense flavour. Got so many in the end I turned my back on it and now the front bed is a mass of seedlings. Almost daily clearing needed. A great one if you need a big yield for sauce making.

[gardenhappy]

of the Aussie's which would be best for sause?
for stir fries?
for drying?
for wreaths?
for jelly?

In our local Continental Market, they sell a pepper with the name "Little Red Devils' which have a price tag of $50.00 per kg. I'm at a loss as to what variety they belong to. Can anyone tell just by looking at the fruit alone. They are hot, handling them will make your skin feel like it's on fire, so I assume they taste like 'fire' too.

Re: Amazon Chile Roma...Grub, I know where yours are from, but Svalli, were your crushed ones from me too??? I will send more and to Finland, if need be. Apologies, if I was the faulty sender; I didn't know. That would be the first time I've ever had destructive-type mailing problems. Am very concerned about not having a repeat so please describe how the package came to be so mangled if you can. Ta!

Grub, I am sending you my absolutely finest peppers this coming NH summer. Well, one comes on an advance mission in January and he's a sailing chile pepper(head) originally from Kanga Island (sp?) but married to a Canuck by way of Japan. Both mature (Peg and Pete, mature? yeah right!) chileheads are also chefs; unripe chileheads (Ayla and Saille) are maturing nicely and are, like parents, ardent fisherpersons and gardeners. Please take care of them as they are my prized peppers. Patrina has already been assigned chief welcomer-home, but needs assistance from other seed and sailor enablers.

I've lost track, so am posting this question here....is anyone in the SH growing any of the dehybridizing of Islander project peppers that I sent to Patrina? If so, how are they doing???

[mcsee]

I found reference to the Birdseye Chilli/Pepper - also being known as the 'Red Devil' with a rating of 175,000 Scoville units, which is hot, so possibly what these are.

[cosmicgardener]

Craig - I am growing Islanders #1 - 7 in pots in my hothouse. They are just starting to produce flower buds. Peppers always a bit late in Tasmania, but looking forward to some interesting results.

Cheers
