Santaka grows a little different, it grows in "clumps" you can snip a branch off with 10-12 peppers on it, the others are a pain to pickl

These plants are all crazy pretty.  I love it when peppers point to the sky. Cole's Chile Conga is another one...
I just cut the peppers off the big Guajillo plant in my living room and put the poor thing outdoors.  I will miss the plant but don't want to see another aphid for a long time.  I have a couple of peppers left in the basement, where aphids did not get in... fingers crossed.. |
