Charleston Hot
Anyone tried? Developed by Clemson researchers twenty some years ago at their research facility in Charleston County. Recall there was a lot of local publicity when it was introduced. I purchased some seeds to try this year.

I haven't grown it, first I have heard of it. I did enjoy the link and reading about its history. I especially was interested in the part talking about resistance to nematode.
I googled up the sister plant Carolina Cayenne and it looks interesting too. : ) What other peppers you planning on growing this year? You decided yet? |

Hi Ella!
I only grow a few peppers. I love them but my wife is unable to enjoy. I am growing some jalapeno with the Charleston Hot. Would you like a few seed? I still have your address and will send if you would like to try. T.. |

Can your wife eat sweet peppers? Does she like them? Corbaci and Lipstick are sweet and I've had women who were not big pepper eaters enjoy them.
I appreciate the offer, but I have so many already this year I am going to be growing. I know I wouldn't be able to get to them this year. If they grow good for you and you save seeds, maybe then I'll holler at you. What I thought was neat and interesting was that it was like an heirloom pepper. While I have seeds and grown the super hots, I enjoy learning and finding out about the heirlooms. Lots about heirloom tomatoes, but not so much on heirloom peppers. Maybe you'll make it popular again. : ) If I decide to add anything to my list this year, and that is a big if, it will be Farmer's Jalapeno. I have got to see what a potato colored, looking pepper looks like. Of course I will use my neighbor to try it first. : ) |

CHARLSTON
I grew them last year. Did very well and very colorful to maturity. Green to yellow to orange then to red. I dried all of mine and plan to grind to powder. I did put a couple into a batch of chili and it was just the right heat for me. Hope you enjoy.
