Pepper Guru 637 Posted September 12, 2019 A really cool frutescens I've got this year...sent to me by a friend - the story goes that the original plant and pods were found and field collected on a hike, just off the hiking path, on the Galapagos Island. These things are flavor bombs. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Orange Thai My favorite Thai of all time - perfect flavor, skin, heat, everything. Can dry on plant perfectly fine with no rot or blemishes. Thunder Mountain Longhorn Like a super long rooster spur, same desirable skin as orange thai, can dry on plant perfectly. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rapace 9,606 Posted September 15, 2019 Wonderful. I like a lot you way to "protect" plants (from wind etc.)... that sort of "net" all around the pots. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It really helps with branch snapping under the weight of the pods. The branches can grow through it and obtain points of contact support far away from the fulcrum of main trunk. Then the isolation nets can either be draped over the cage itself to be held up, or you can suspend the isolation nets by a high wire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm seriuosly considenting to use net for the next season, it really halp giving the pod the right shape, leaving me free from the duty to tie all heavy branches. I've only sixty plants but it takes me a lot of time anyway. Moreover my garden won't seem a jungle anymore. Congratulation! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pepper Guru 637 Posted October 1, 2019 Jack Patton Rooster Spur - all time favorite sandwich pepper. Been growing this one personally since 2000. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pepper Guru 637 Posted October 1, 2019 Continuing on with the different "Rooster Spur" varietals, this one is Virgil T Ainsworth's family farm Rooster Spur. A lot of history in this one too. President Jimmy Carter being rumored to have had them sneaked into the white house by secret service so he could make his famous "Rooster Sausage" I met Virgil via facebook many years ago and have stayed in touch with him. He was kind enough to share them with me many years ago. Wonderful frutescens juice burst, similar to a miniature Tabasco with a special superiority in flavor. Very Prolific. Dries perfectly. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pepper Guru 637 Posted October 18, 2019 Something I've been trying to clear up lately. While in Iquitos, Peru in 2015, I found some of my favorite peppers to date. Aji Charapita as well as what I thoughtwas Aji Cerezo (tio, cereza, ceraza)They have been in my garden ever since. Here they are pictured with some of my other finds that day: In nearly every market, especially Belen, you will find small plastic bags of Aji Charapita and they will be labeled as such. Next to them, you will also find the small bags of the red! Both C. Chinense dominant. However, the small red bags are never labeled! I asked every market vendor that had them, no one knew the name. IMG-0140 by Rich Blood, on Flickr For the last few years, I always would refer to them as "Charapita Rojo" - but then after doing some searching and reading, I came across some books and articles with the name Aji Cerezo, as well as "Tio" and "Cereza". As I look through the "Ajies delPeru" I notice they list Aji Cerezo as an annuum! So, I'm beginning to wonder if much like with Aji Limo, pictured here: the Aji Charapita can throw a red variation at times as well??? Here they both are in my garden almost 5 years later: 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very kind of you to notice! I take pride in my selections and try my best each year to ensure I can carry the genes on for many years to come KS Lemon StarBurst comes from the Scotch Bonnet right? Very interesting and now seems to have reached stability. Yes! I believe the parents are MOA x Bahamian Goat. Very bright and citrus. Much milder than I thought it would be. 13 hours ago, Oban said: You haven't indicated it, but I would say that this is a Ghostly Jalapeno, confirming that the apex of the fruit on the right, the presence of three or four lobules I believe is a characteristic inherited from Jalapeno.

One of my absolute favorite white cultivars. Insanely prolific and incredible flavor with a major heat to boot. Did you like the Orange Ribbon? I only had the chance to taste a fruit from the plant cultivated by a friend of mine, mine came out of Red color but the fruits were just as beautiful. Evidently this is an unknown Bhut cross volunteer that showed up in the originator's garden a few years back. Very heavy Bhut flavor but backed by a frutiness and sweetness not normally seen in a Bhut. 13 hours ago, Oban said: The news that I've read and that gives me even more pleasure is that Pepper Guru will return to travel the world in search of peppers.Serchin' In The Free World!
