Aussie Pepper Update Thread - Page 8

Mantis · February 5, 2007

Thought of starting a new thread but, thinking is not my strong point.

Gotta question: Do orange Habs ripen from the top down??
Had a stinking hot day today and noticed some orange colour on the tops of a few fruit. Does not look like sun scald as this plant is in the GH/shade house.

Uneven ripening happens as much with chillies as tomatoes. I think the majority of them should be fine.

How is the rest of the crop? I have only just planted out many of your kindly sent seeds.

Cheers, Grub.

Mariachi hybrid in the greenhouse is giving me lots of fruit. Nice amount of heat as well. Big jims of course but the outside peppers are all suffering what looks like blossum end rot. Garden Salsa, Anaheim and Cherapeno amongst them.
Going to dig them up and put them in the greenhouse soon.

I grew these a couple years back. Just wanted Y'all to know it's gonna be us {NHers} having a turn at it soon, if these below karo degrees ever leaves. :-)

Mantis · February 5, 2007

Nah, that ain't gonna happen Earl. Its global warming. We are getting warmer and you are getting colder LOL

Grub · February 5, 2007

Hi ya Unc' Earl,

What are the peppers in your pic? You sure picked a peck or two. The yellow bonnet ones look h-o-t. Did you pickle them?

Mantis,

What is Cherapeno lik? Big, small, hot or not? I just put two in the patch.

Grub, I'm not Mantis, but since I am the seed source for both of you, I'm going to butt in here.

Cherapeno is a stable cross between Hot Cherry and Jalapeno. Breeder was the famous (amongst chileheads) Matts Peterson of Sweden.

Plant not too big, with round, jal-hot fruits in quite good numbers.

Hope that you both like it.

PS. Any help on my Wanted varieties post would be deeply appreciated. Grub, you have a standing invite to the fresh water sailing capital of NA (that being here in Kingston), guided by said sailing/fishing enthuast Aussie friends now in need of Aussie seeds.

Ta muchly and cheers to all,
Jennifer

Heading over now to see if I can help my favourite (note "u") Cannuck and champion Commonwealth crewmate.

Havent got any fruit from Cherapeno. It is struggling. Going to dig the outside peppers and pot them up for the greenhouse tommorow.

Grub · February 12, 2007

Here's one to make Michael drool...Anaheims, NuMex Big Jims, Hungarian Wax...

Grub · February 12, 2007

Chervena Chushka has been great, a really nice swet red (couple of Red Cheese to the right [the sweetest of all])

Grub · February 12, 2007

Couple of nice Dwarf Orange Manzano are approaching ripeness. I belive this almost apple-sized hottie is from Peru...

That made me drool! One look and I could smell 'em cooking. When they're roasting on the grill like that they smell even better than a ripe tomato.

:wink:

Grub-Great looking chile! Glad that you have gotten into these chiles. Now I have to send you seed from my mother in laws wild chile pequin-it reseeds itself every year-has for the last I dont know how many years-very small red chile that is really hot.
