I'll definitely save some seeds. I'm very much looking forward to this one.

@Cole_Robbie:


I usually swipe the seeds of each superhot across the tip of my tongue to gauge their mojo. While I was sowing the naga and kraken I wolfed down the nibbles of red attached to the seed and oh yeah, wakes you up nicely. Super salsa will be formidable. The Fatalli is just about right on the heat level.

[Cole_Robbie]

LOL you're not supposed to eat those things fresh. I put 1-2 peppers per dried pound of beans or lentils I am cooking, and I take the seeds out.

See if you can tell Black Naga apart from Kraken Scorpion. They seemed indistinguishable to me.

I never heard of Pinky Tuscadero, but Wild Spudleaf and Brandyfred are both from the dwarf project. (I have both of them...)

I grew Spudakee last year. Fruits were quiet large. Loved the taste. Will grow it again in 2017.

Fish Lake Oxheart had raving reviews few years ago. But, as with so many great varieties, the interest shifts to new once too quickly here in TV. I never grew it myself. Maybe one day. Carolyn can tell you more about it.

Ella,here's what I can tell you about it.First,Tania's link.

http://t.tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Fish_Lake_Oxheart

Tania wrote that the reason for sometimes getting pink or red fruits was maybe that folks saw colors differently. But I can tell you that after I got seeds directly from Neil G that you could get some plants with red and some with pink, save seeds from pink fruits and you get both.

Several of us my seed producers, agreed that it looked like the epidermis had a high rate of mutation, Fish isn't the only one, so if the epi is clear,it's pink, if the epi is yellow it's red. And one tests for epi color.

Fact is, despite the fruit color,both have the same wonderful taste and for such a large fruited variety the yield is high as well.

Hello Carolyn et al,

Thanks for the input. I hear some of these varieties are real winners.

Here's the links on Pinky Tuscadero, I really liked Cowlicks so hoping it shows up in the offspring.

Besides, I didn't speak much English at the time, but I sure knew who Fonzie's girlfriend was so on the name alone I have to grow it. The other Blane Horton creation I tried, Pit Viper, did really well in my garden so, fingers crossed for Pinky T being a hit too.

I checked both links,thanks.

So new for 2016 and Blane or Marianne says some are saying it's the best large pink they've ever grown. So most getting seeds would have grown it out this past summer?

OK,I'll say no more, my fingers are taped together.

When I was still at Xanadu Blane sent me some seeds, they weren't right for the varieties,told him,and he got some from someone else, and resent them. What I remember is that Ami in Germany also asked if I needed some,so he sent them. I know one was Verdal, but got that one from Ilex in Spain in the last batch of seeds sent. And yes, Verdal is from Spain.

Those were the bathroom venting shafts in my old apt bldg, they were covered with a large piece of fiberglass, worked great for sun-hungry seedlings .
