i got ARGG from marsha last winter( along with many other ) and was amazed at the flavor - however, i believe due to lack of sun, the plant was very "determinant" - it put on 12 fruits, then quit?? sun?? i am trying fert and h2o and may prune some branches from a shade tree to get Aunt to "come back" as i am trying from several other distressed plants?? is Aunt RGG a true determinant( gives it up then croaks)? or is it the lack of sun? I see my Tennessee Suited and Dana"s, Olive Hills trying to put on a second tier of stems and fruits which they are doing!! gotta quit the TT
just a bunch of experiments, and thanks be to marsha, i will know what to grow next year - was picking 40#'s /day for a week and i don't sell 'em. I don't think i like the Red Barn but maybe i did not let it ripen enough - or did i mix up my identifying stakes with rebel yell?? i just know that the 24 varieties / 110 plants will get whittled down next year as everyone says pray for rockporter pete |

Hi Marsha,
ARGG is far from a determinate, but it does slow down on growth while it's developing a round of large fruit. But then it grows again when those mature and are removed. The contrary, it becomes a 12 foot vine for me. It probably is not enough sun. And I can't grow peppers very well either |

Awesome list Marsha. You sure are going to be busy and yes, you definitely need to post pics. Your pics are high lights all through the winter. Some of us would be lost without your pics to drool and slobber over the keyboard at.
Some really cool names. They make me smile. Hope they taste as good. Just hope you have a fantastic growing season and bugs in short supply and weather is good for you. : ) |

no way ARGG is determinant. Mine is probably 8 ft tall and has no determinant growth habit. It is one of the few varieties that has fruits in the dog days of summer.

Oh my, what a list! Will be waiting for reports/pictures. ...
I grew only few from this list. Esterina and Sweet Aperitif have been loved by all this summer. |

Thank you. I hope I love those also. I have little pepper 2" seedlings poking up. It's exciting, this starting time of the season. Now if we can just safely negotiate Hurricane Irma......
