Pepper Questions

[Grub]

Hi,
Honu (Ann) in Hawaii kindly sent me some pepper seeds.

Mantis did too.

And so did Jen in Canada.

And I have some nice ones from Patrina.

Oh, my, do I have some peppers to sow.

Thanks you everyone.

Any must-grows besides Jimmy Nardello among the following?Any ideas about these and what I can expect?

Thanks in advance. Grub.

Grub,

Nice list of pubescens!

Question(s): Any history on the Dwarf Orange Manzana? And the Yellow Rocoto... the one that developes little 'corking' marks?

My advice.... grow all the pubes you can get your hands on!

Grub-for sure, grow the new mex big jim-the green chile capital is about 40 miles or so from my house. This chile was developed in 1975 and is medium hot. We stuff them-you can make chile rellenos with them.

Hi Grub,
This was the first time I tried a hab, and this yellow one was not as hot as I expected, which was fine with me, because I got to taste that nice flavor. Could have been due to me watering too much or something.
Very cool looking plant:


Serrano on the left is an interesting one. Keeps pumping out fruit, and every once in awhile will drop all its leaves and appear to be dying, then come back to life w/ new leaves and a new crop. I have no idea what's going on w/ this plant, but it keeps pumping out nice, medium heat peppers.

Red fatalii shown in the center was hot with a nice flavor. Had a nice spicy smell.

Thai Red on the right was HOT. Gave these to my Thai friend who has a restaurant, and he said those are the ones he loves.

Thai Yellow is a vigorous and unfussy plant, didn't mind that I left it in a too small 3 inch pot, never fertilized, forgot to water, and let it wilt several times. I'm waiting to see it turn color.


Lipstick turned out to be very thin walled here, flavor was ok, mild & sweet when it turned a deep red color.[img=http://thumb4.webshots.com/t/53/553/6/46/55/2629646550094911424TCDpvy_th.jpg]
Have fun w/ all your peppers!

Yeah, grow them all. 2 of each, 1 in the ground and 1 in a pot. You can then overwinter the one in the pot. Looks great in the house, on a sunny window sill. And you get a head-start next season. And you get to report back on ALL of them. 8)

I'm feeling pretty ordinary, so I cam home and here I am sorting through the pepper seeds making my final decision. I have also decided - and been given the green light - to grow whatever I want in the front garden. So the whole front bed is going to be a tangle of peppers: red, yellow, oranges and blacks, long and short; a sea of colour and contrast. Should look good I think.
