Bruce,
Notice how one popped and the steam is oozing out? The NuMex Big Jims have the thickest skins and are really easy to peel. Having tried them and Anaheims I'm now looking for another NuMex type that's possible better in some way...

Thanks for your offer Michael, but you've already loaded me up very nicely thanks a million... hey, you know how you just prune and overwinter hot peppers, say habs like my three-year old orange one, and they come back? Well, will this happen with NuMex types (and sweets) delivering the same excellent if not better crop of peppers?

Jen,
Keen chanting. You are most welcome here, though my setup is a modest suburban one. Still, the beaches and stuff are really nice around here. And the baby will be walking, I think... I've been on this laptop since 4.36am... she's a bit grizzly tonight or this morning or whatever. Upshot, I bought a packet of biscuits with the milk and paper from 7-11

Grub, the small ones are sweet and fruity. They're Dulce #1 [red], Trinidad Perfume, and Sweet Datil. They've all got the flavor, but none of the heat.

Grub-I have never cut back a green chile or a sweet pepper, so I cannot help on whether or not they will come back and produce a second crop after overwintering.

I will grow my mother in laws chile and send you some dried chile to try.

Grub. Those peppers on the bbq look perfect for chile and cheese tamales.

Only thing I can say is that my wife and I had two great lipstick peppers tonight with dinner-got seed from Craig, and they are great!

Grub · February 13, 2007

My Lipstick is a pup just starting to flower, so that's great news.

cdntomato · February 13, 2007

Lipstick is wonderful, but liked David Pendergrass' Neapolitan even better for flavour and PRODUCTIVITY. Available though DP's New Hope Seeds or Victory.

John Fiedler is the NA king of pruning and overwintering (and without a greenhouse and in Maine!). A chile and container gardener extraordinaire. He posts here on occasion and at those chile links I shared earlier. There are some Fins who prune/overwinter with phenom results too. Plan to try it next year meeself.

Earl, love the seasoning peppers. Hope Grub will too.

Grub, thanks for the invite! Would definitely love to touch base while I'm in Oz!!! And to give Summer a cuddle or 2 or 3...

Cheers,
Jennifer

I'm sure I'm gonna love them, Jenn. Thanking you muchly... Neopolitan... we have an icecream here by thaqt name which is vanilla, strawberry and chocolate all in a bucket. Mmmm... And nice looking pepper at http://www.victoryseeds.com/catalog/...neopolitan.jpg

montanamato · February 13, 2007

Must chime in on Neopolitan too....I grew the Victory sourced one last summer....It was crowded in a tub with 3 other peppers and produced really well....Definately a pepper for people gardening in short seasons or less than ideal conditions...

Fatali is, indeed, fatal...

Grub · February 14, 2007

Fruitfly got my first Orange Manzano... tasted nice though, like a hot capsicum...

Jennifer aka Femmefatalii
really trying not to laugh so hard at Grub's expense

Manzanos (C. Pubescens), nice how not all heat is the same; this species really is different from other chiles and in a beautiful way.

Grub · February 15, 2007

You are the Femme Fatalli... lol. They pack a punch, a deep Chinense rolling lava kind of burn. Hey, I like the taste and sans seeds can handle one...

The C.Pubescens has a really nice taste... I want to make something south american with them

Thanks Jen... splutter

Spatzbear · February 16, 2007

Slowly I can see some chillies and capsicums coming on. I'm really happy with the plants. Especially as we are experiencing such extremes in weather.

Here's my African Fish Chilli. Really pretty. First time for me and I am yet to taste it.

Spatzbear · February 16, 2007

...and here's my Jimmy Nardello. I just love the deep red of the fruit. It'll always get a spot in my garden.
