That reminds me of the time the boss asked me what I meant by 'NFG' on a requisition form; that he didn't mind but other office staff who were more sensitive did. Hmm. What is wrong with' Not Found Good? ' All in the mind of the reader. More than one started to use NFG after that.

Upon further review, I believe what I posted earlier as Black Naga are actually Kraken Scorpion F3. The tag fell out, and I was guessing. Here is the one that was marked, the plants and pods looks identical: http://i.imgur.com/P5RQFjk.jpg

Those don't bear much resemblance to the Kraken pics I've seen, either in shape or color. How's the heat?

In any case, I would be surprised if Kraken is fully stable...

My black nagas looked exactly like the pic from post #54

Searching google images for the two different varieties, I can't tell them apart. My pods are probably a little smaller from the plant being grown in a small pot. That plant is from seed that came to me in a non-tville swap marked 'Kraken Scorpion F3," I am fairly certain. But of course that doesn't mean that's what it is.

Your pods do resemble those found on Images. I recalled a more crimson, even orangey, color.

I think my memory is starting to go.

The plants that made the cut enough for me to save seeds were:

Roseto - tiny peppers, but prolific and beautiful
Razzmatazz - a very small plant, very pretty, does well in 1-2 gallon pots, most edible of the ornamentals
Chile Congo - neat little miniature plant, very pretty, very small, hottest of the ornamentals
Mrs Jarvis - Grew bigger than Black Pearl, will try them in the ground next year.
Black Pearl - prettiest purple potted pepper
Fatali - my favorite pepper of the year
Black Naga - can't tell apart from Kraken
Naga Viper - smells like cherries, wicked hot
Kraken Scorpion F3 - smells like cranberries and roses
White Bullet Habanero (potted plant was a dud, garden plant was like a tree)
Big Sun Habanero - best hab flavor, huge pods. Too thick-walled to dry on counter-top.
Cherry Moon - best fresh-eating hot of the year, jalapeno heat, prolific

I will include these with my upcoming seed offer after I get all my tomato seeds organized.

I really really want to get in on your offer. Will you post/link to the offer in this thread Cole?

[dmforcier]

CR, thanks for the feedback! I will pass it along.

Anything that you had particularly bad experience with?

[Cole_Robbie]

Sure, I will post a link when I have the offer up.

My Numex Halloween was a disappointment. It was a fine plant, but the peppers were supposed to be orange and black, thus the name. Mine were red and black. None of them ever turned orange. I had hoped to be able to sell the plants in October as Halloween decorations, thus my disappointment.

Golden Treasures, White Bullet Habanero, and Big Sun Habanero. The first two are from the outdoor garden. White Bullet turns red when very ripe. I picked those for seed. Big Sun is from the porch peppers. It has great flavor. White Bullet grows outdoors like a weed.

White Bullet Habs should stay an off-white, almost cream color when over-ripe. The fruit also has a rounded tip, like a bullet, not a sharp point. At least that was my experience when I grew them. I'm not sure what you've got there.

What did you think about the Golden Treasure?

[Cole_Robbie]

Interesting. My potted plant did look that way, stubby white peppers that never turned red. I thought it was stunted from being in a small pot. The one in the garden is the biggest pepper plant I have ever seen: http://i.imgur.com/WuIS87k.jpg
It outgrew the weeds after I abandoned the garden in mid summer.

This link refers to white bullet as a hybrid:

It also says they mature to be white. There are also a Peruvian and a Yucatan white, but it looks like they also mature to white. The only thing I can find that is white and matures to red is a pic of a hab crossed with a ghost pepper.

I liked Golden Treasures a lot. It is similar to Yellow Corno di Toro, but I think it yields better.

That sauce looks awesome! Next year I will be able to double down on the powders. I love to sprinkle it on my meals & snacks. Things are looking up!
