What??

Those are current pics?

Did you overwinter in the greenhouse?

Spatzbear · March 22, 2007

Beautiful! I love the look of Black Hungarian. What flower is it sharing the pot with? Marigold?

NCTIM · March 22, 2007

Looks great Rena. I plan on growing some of my peppers in pots too.

Mine are just a teeny bit behind yours.

I should catch up by July.

I planted in November. I overwintered ONCE it was not a good idea as it infected the whole ghouse with bugs.

I got tired of having tomatoes but not peppers to make salsa so I started early

I stick flowers everywhere, it is a marigold. I like to add dwarf Zinnias to my pots.

How do those black ones taste?

That picture actually made me research Black Hungarian and everything I found says it has pretty mild heat. Comments from those who have tasted it themselves? Sounds like it would be a variety that would appeal to a lot of people, not just for the color but also the heat level.

I would say equal to a jalapeno. It is a pretty plant and very productive. I believe my seeds came from SSE the site.

Edited to add they look more purple in person.

Rena, looking good! So, how are the tomatoes coming along?

Rena · March 23, 2007

They are getting big. I will post some pics later. It is a little scary as I am doing a heart grow out everything looks wispy (wimpy)................ But we shall see how they take this GA heat.

Nice looking peppers, really nice!! I only started gardening back in 2002...heirloom tomatoes got me started and forever hooked. I would have to say that tomatoes are my #1 all around fave crop for a variety of reasons but peppers are my favorite to grow.

Have grown Hungarian Black the past three seasons and it hasn't ever let me down....so needless to say I have a bunch in flats as we speak. Can't ask for a better pepp in IMO. Hardy, prolific, beautiful and versitile. Your fruits, on that particular plant are more elongated than any my plants have produced. Think so anyway, sometimes its hard to tell obviously. Mine, for whatever reason have preferred pots but they performed admirably in the ground too.

Other pics are great too. This is one of my Black Hungarians from last year. Sowed seed 3/5, date of pic is 6/15...vigorous little buggers!!
