Not as many pepper varieties as I normally do. I will purchase some at the

garden center as well.



If all goes well I will be dehydrating, freezing, and canning.


This will be my first time with Tolli's. I really dislike raw peppers and all I grow are for cooking, drying, fermenting/pickling, or roasting. I'm hoping Tolli's does well so that I have a sweet variety for frying.

I am going to try to develop a niche for restaurant sales of dried/smoked peppers and it's my thought that the pimiento type would work best with their thick walls.
Red Cheese 17
Joe Dill 15
Liebesapfel 16
Sweet pimiento 35
Klara Baby cheese 38

Yes at one time all cheese was white or light orange or yellow.
The orange color was due to the caws eating rich grasses and getting the beta carotene from it.
This was considered high quality cheese.
They started using things like carrots saffron and sweet peppers and such to fake this color.
This is why we now have orange cheese.
There is no such thing as natural orange cheese.
Maybe just maybe if you fed the cows basket fulls of carrots it would be orange.

Interesting. I never knew that there's no orange cheese. Now that I think of it, it makes sense. So does this mean that chocolate milk doesn't come from brown cows??? (Just kidding with that)

ok, so it is a hot pepper. Is it the same as Fatali White?
Cole ... Here some more info

http://www.tradewindsfruit.com/conte...am-pepper.html

Their site says can take 2 week to 10 to germinate.


I have dial up and my dial up must still be sleeping as it taking forever to load a page.

Go to google and put in Pepper Cream Fatalii seeds
and it will bring up a bunch of sites for you.

Also, don't know if you know there is a Fatalii site:

www.fataliiseed.net/New-products

You might find better info there. I would say no because some of the sites say that the Cream Fatalii goes from green to cream to pale orange. Guess that must be if left long time on vine.

I think that 'cheese' also can refer to a round, flattened shape, as in a wheel of cheese.

The last seeds arrived, so my list is finalized. Beaver Dam, Greygo, and Pizza are favorites, the only ones I grow every year.

Trials/seed increases:
Aji Cristal (hot)
Amfora (sweet)(testing for stability)
Djuric (sweet, trial)
Doe Hill (sweet)
Early Jalapeno (hot)
Karlo (hot, trial)
Numex Sunset (hot, trial)
Pelso (hot)
PI 315008 (hot)(USDA, to compare with SSE's strain)
Pizza sport (hot)(attempting to stabilize dwarf plants)
Professor Meader's Chocolate (sweet, trial)
Suptol (sweet)
Tennessee Cheese (sweet)
Tequila Sunrise (sweet, trial)

its flavor. So we will find out. My next HOTTEST pepper is now Scotch Bonnet. Bhut Jalokia takes the first place.
