Criolla Sella

Criolla Sella capsicum baccatum is a Bolivian chile peppar. The fruits on my plant was 4-6 cm long and 1 cm in diameter. It rippens from green to orange. It has a thin flesh that makes it excellent to dry. It has some heat and a very nice taste. Quite prolific plant.

The office

When you grow chile peppers at work then you know you are a chile head These are my plants (all pictures from 20080528, sorry for the poor pictures)   Hot Pepper Lantern Capsicum Chinense. A plant from 2007, it feels great to have ripe pods of a Capsicum Chinense in may.   Habanero (Habanero Orange) Capsicum Chinense. Several pods on thier way, the unripe pods looks very similar to the leafs in this picture.

Soon it will be time to move the plants outside

Soon it will be time to move the plants outside, actually I have some of them outside during the days. Here is a picture from 2007. It shows my small balcony with mostly peppers. It is hard to see the pods, but they where there;) As you see my balvonyspace i very limeted and this means that some of my peppers grow in very small pots, like Chimayo from last year that where growing in the white pot in the picture.     A closer look at the Locato PI387838, sorry for the poor quality of the photo, also from 2007. So many beautiful flowers!

Aji Panca Capsicum baccatum

This year I am growing some seeds from sundried Aji Panca. You can buy these in some shops as you can buy Aji Amarillo, Ancho, Pasilla, Facing Heaven, Chilhuacle Negro (i grow this one too), Guajillo, New Mexico, Cascabell. From what I have read Aji Panca is a Capsicum chinense. But now I know there is also a Capsicum baccatum version. The first flower from the plant. Aji Panca, Capsicum baccatum

Trinidad Scorpion, Habanero White Giant, Habanero Black Congo and more

Trinidad Scorpion is a very interesting Capsicum chinense. It should be very hot   Habanero White Giant is another interesting Capsicum chinense.   Habanero Black Congo, Capsicum chinense   Cumari, Capsicum chinense   Maraba, Capsicum chinense   The flower of Jalapeno Olé, Capsicum annuum   The flower of Topgirl, Capsicum annuum. The pod is on its way   Aji Colorado, Capsicum baccatum, the flower and...   ...the pod. The pod of Aji Colorado reminds me of Aji Cristal (another Capsicum baccatum)   Pods of Champion, Capsicum baccatum

Tasmanian Red, White Fire and Blondie

Some picitures from a very nice and varm day i Stockholm (the hottest so far)   Tasmanian Red looks promising, the first Capsicum chinense with pods.   Tasmanian Red   White Fire should be a hot and tasty Capsicum annuum.   White Fire should also be prolific and early. When the finaly mature in red they might easily be misstaken for a small bellpepper.   Blondie, Capsicum baccatum, leaning against the apple tree at our balcony.   A non pepper photo. The balcony apple tree.

Pictures 20/4 2008

20/4 2008. A nice day here in Stockholm.   First a picture from the indoor forest.   These three Capsicum chienense should be very similar. From left to right Trinidad Seasoning, Tobago Seasoning and St. Lucia Island. I belive they are mild to medium hot.   The Bulgarian Carrot is well on its way.   An interesting Capsicum baccatum Inca Red Drop   Maybe the most beautiful plant so far, Criolla Sella   The Brown Rocoto is the only Capsicum pubescens vareity that I grow from seed this year (I also have from last year Locoto Pi 387838, Turbo Pube and Cap 1492)   Fenir Capsicum annuum sometimes have heartshaped pods , it is my wife´s favorite   In Sweden this one is called Grekisk Paprika which means Paprika (pepper) from Greece.

Shiny Red Capsicum chinense

In March I finaly got some seeds from Shiny Red Capsicum chinense that germinated. I now have two small Shiny red plants. I have been looking for this variety quite long, so I am very happy!   Shiny Red, Capsicum chinense from Peru.   A sad note: The Birgits Locoto plant looked very weak so I put it in the trash:(

A pubescens like chinense PI 152225 Misqucho Colorado

Misqucho Colorado PI 152225, this capsicum chinense have a pubescens like fuzz on the stems.       It looks very nice when mature, once again I got the seeds from John. Here is one of his pictures. PI 152225.   if that did not work look for it at http://www.pbase.com/chiles400

First outdoor pictures

Many of the peppers now have flowers, Bulgarian Carrot and Jaloro Hybrid F2 have pods. I moved some of the plants to our summerhouse. I reppoted the peppers at the sommerhouse, including the plants I saved from last year (Peruvian White Habanero, Amazon Chile Roma, Locato PI387838, Turbo Pube, Cap 1492, Poblano(this one looks almost dead))   Two pictures from the balcony (not the summerhouse):     The beautiful Rocopica is a hybridised variety which resulted from a cross between a Rocoto, capsicum pubescens and Ulupica capsicum cardenasii.     Criolla Sella, capsicum baccatum.

Flowers, pods and hybrids

Now many of my peppers have flowers (Cumari, Criolla Sella, Inca Red Drop, TopGirl, Tasmanian Red)   Tasmanian Red   The Jaloro F? now have four pods. The pods are darkgreen - it looks more like an regular Jalapeno than the Jaloro F1. Jaloro is a hybrid (F1) so my plant which I call Jaloro is actually Jaloro F2. I think I should call it "Jaloro Hybrid F2".   I grow some hybrids this year. If you look at my Tasmanian Red, you can see that it is not a pure Capsicum Chinense, It seems to be a cross with a annuum. I dont know if it stable, but I hope so. It looks amazing at a pepperfriends page Tasmansian RED   I also grow Trindiad Scorpion FG. It is a hybrid from Trindad Scorpion. Dont know what generation I am growing. F2 or F3? I hope it will turn out like this Trinidad Scorpion FG   Cant wait to see how they turn out.   Jaloro Hybrid f2   Patrik

Some pictures

Repotting in february. Fenir capsicum annuum (also called deFenir).     As you can see, it was about time to start repotting. This box contains the annuums and baccatums.     Siviri Biber capsicum annuum its a very sweet not so hot chile pepper. When I tasted this one last year I just fell in love with the taste.     30 chile peppers just repotted. All annuum or baccatum except Rocopica     The same windowsill. 2 weeks later.     The same windowsill, from above.     Windowsill nr 2. Chinense and baccatums.     Windowsill nr 3. Mostly chinense but also Rocoto Brown, Blondie, Jalapeno Olé, Birgits Locoto.
