Default Peppers in PNW 2014

We have got a beautiful fruit set on many peppers this year.

Slugs and aphids are the usual problem, and this year we are using biological control (aphidoletes, hoverfly larva). It worked quite well, but now the plants are so big that aphids have much better opportunity to hide under leaves and they are multiplying faster than the predators.

Rats and voles already figured out where our peppers are and they chewed up a few cayennes (they seem to love cayenne peppers!).

But overall, it has been a good season so far.

If you are wondering how we managed to get such a lovely fruit set on our peppers so early in the season, it is a combination of two things: our pepper cold frames and the great warm spring we had this year.

Happy pepper growing!

Tatiana

Default Bogyiszloi

Bogyiszloi seeds came to me from Hungary. I was expecting more of a cherry pepper, but it is not.

Default Jimmy Nardello

This pepper has a long history. It came from Jimmy Nardello family of Naugatuck, Connecticut. Jimmy's parents, Giuseppe and Angela Nardiello, immigrated to America from village of Ruoti in the Basilicata region of Southern Italy in 1887, and brought the seeds with them.

Default Ram's Horn

Ram's Horn

A very old heirloom obtained from Jim Fischer of Elkhart, Indiana, whose family grew this variety in Asheville, North Carolina since circa 1885. It was listed by many SSE members in the SSE Yearbook in the 80-90s, but becoming quite rare these days.
SSE PEPPER 13 - looks like it was one of the fist peppers in the SSE pepper seed collection, so I could not resist growing it

Default Hidalgo

Hidalgo hot pepper - it may have come from Hidalgo region in Eastern Mexico, and according to some sources, it is an heirloom pepper.

It was vended by Baxter Seed Co. in the early 1990s.

Plants are quite unusual, with woolly stems and leaves.

I am curious about the Ram's Horn. A friend on The Hot Pepper.com forum has some family connection to the Ram's Horn and she lives near Asheville, NC. I'll ask her about it.

Out of all your peppers, which ones are the earliest to ripen? Always looking for early ones to grow here.

Sue,

I am not sure yet which one out of these will ripen first. They all look advanced enough at this time.

I think it may be Smooth Orange - it has had fruits sitting on the plants and not growing any more for the last 3 weeks. I think they'll start turning color soon.

I'm not positive but I think the Hidalgo is a type of Serrano, which would explain the wooliness. Did you start any of your Tasmanian Black seeds? Mine are flowering but no fruit yet.

Fine looking peppers you have there!

I thought I was doing well, with lots of flowers blooming, but Tania's peppers
are amazing.

But now, I don't think I will be getting any. A skinny young doe managed to squeeze in
through a gate. She munched peas and cauliflowers, and then discovered the peppers.
They were her very favourite. Every leaf is gone.
