I'm back again for another season at Pepperfriends. I have not been very active here,and my interest for capsicum is very low at this moment. This year I have a few wild Capsicum growing,but I haven't planted seeds for any domesticated species yet. I hope to sow chinense and pubescens before Easter Sunday. In total,I should have less than 20 plants total.

 

 

Here is a nice plant that I am very excited about. This is the first time growing Cappuccino Tepin. So far it is healthy.

 

 

C.galapagoense is healthy and has the amazing scent! I have not grown this in 2 years,but always a special plant.

 

 

C.tovarii The king of Capsicum to me. I will grow this plant until my death.

 

 

C.lanceolatum flower and fruit early this season.

 

This is an accidental cross that turned out to be a beautiful plant and it might need some future work. I think the original parents were galapagoense x purple tepin. Then last season some C.chinense genes were mixed in. I will find photos of the F1 which was an amazing plant! This F2 isn't like the F1,but still a great looking plant.

HI, Pr0digal_son

I read yours topic on the THP, I learned a lot of knowledge about capsicum. Thank you!

I'm glad to find this topic, because of a big chili player is back.

Look forward to more of your pictures.

[Luigi Lombardi 635]

Wonderful plants! I'm impressed!
I really like them all expecially C.tovarii and C.lanceolatum

[Demoniacal666 1,505]

Hey mate, really good plants as always! See you soon

[WILDS 98]

Hello, Pr0digal_son

The C.lanceolatum that I planted always failed. First of all, it is difficult to germinate. Secondly, when I put it in the soil, it would die soon after germination in rockwool,approximately 2 cm high.

Do you have any suggestions for me? On improving seed germination and planting after germination.
Look forward to your suggestions. Thank you.

Ciao john, gl 4 2016!

[Lonewolf 18,106]

Very nice plants ... and photos!

 

I never saw a C.lanceolatum flowering and fruiting so early, you're a true magician

[Pr0digal_son 1,395]

Hi John, i hope you have a great growing season!

 

 

Why, if i can know?

 

3 reasons.

 

 

1.Salvelinus fontinalis

 

2.Salmo trutto

 

3.Oncorhynchus mykiss

 

 

 

 

 

To be honest,I have been consumed by other hobbies,fly fishing being paramount. In Pittsburgh it still snows and temperatures are still -5C at times. In June I will be more excited for Capsicum. I do have a few rare and interesting plants that I am looking forward to sharing with Pepperfriends.

I consider it luck! The lanceolatum is in a constricted vessel for now,that probably aids it in setting fruit early. Sow date was 12/12/2015.

I don't use rockwool,so I can't comment with confidence. I would flush and pH rockwool cubes if I were using them. And with germination of any plant or Capsicum,the first key is good seed. Historically,C.lanceolatum has not been a problem for me to germinate. 15-30 days typically. A problem that I see with lanceolatum is the seed sticks to cotyledons after germination. Plant many seeds,and pick the vigorous sprouts to grow.

 

 

 

This is a plant called Cabai Burung Ungu

 

Huge Rocopica

 

Purple chacoense

 

Cumari Alongado. This is a special one for Pepperfriends database. Already have a lot of photos

 

C.galapagoense

Lovely. But looking forward to see posted something bigger (fishes and plants as well)

An advice about fly fishing: Using artificial bug bait would be great.

hahahaha...these are very small freestone streams and not fertile. The fish will not get any bigger than what you see. They are very keen,and difficult to catch.

 

The water in these streams is 40-50 cm maximum.

 

 

We tie our own artificial flies. Caddis,Mayfly,etc...

OH!

hahahaha... I didn't realize that!!!

I was going to expect something like a fatty salmon.

I am seeing your baits are very well crafted.

The last one you posted looks like a real one.
