Well Craig, disaster struck when a critter with long ears got into my peppers and chewed them off at ground level.

Pretty interesting year for this project; from each of my original 8 F2 selections, I planted 2 plants - so there are now 16 plants in the project at the F3 stage. There is variation in shape (blocky bell vs a more elongated bell), and seems to be four major color combinations - purple ripening gold, purple ripening red, cream ripening golden yellow, and cream ripening orange red. There is still great variation, and the progeny of last year's plants didn't align with what I saw (meaning a purple to red F2 could have given a cream to yellow, etc). All are productive, very sweet when ripe and very attractive....I will try to make sense of it all and report back in a more detailed fashion. Right now, saving lots of seed and looking forward to continuing it next year!

Now here's one that, for the time being at least, we can participate in. If you'd like a few grown out downunder, just holler. I've got some Islander F1 in this season, along with a number of other peppers I want to try, mainly hot though.
