yeah we really have hot chili here. so hot that only a chili will do for a cup of vinegar to be so hot... we call the hottest variety "Siling Labuyo". the smallest chili here is the hottest. its small but terrible.

BB - that looks like you got a slice of heaven there! We have had lots of rain and stuff is starting to grow. I pulled off the first flower on my hot pepper plant.

yeah, we have a heatwave here at the moment, pretty annoying for me but real good for the plants...

I also learned a lot from my first plants last year, for example to check for aphids every day especially when the first blossoms appear....so I was able to get rid of them this year before they could do any damage to the plants..

p.s. after the first harvest I will start sending the seeds to you and the others that want some..

Hey thanks! I look like I might have a massive sunflower plant, about 12-15ft tall. The stalk is already the size of a pop can. The strawberry season was helpful - the pagona 'dragons' ate strawberries like little monsters chewing raw meat! Since the season is over, I am trying mulberries from my tree on them.

if you want to I can also send you seeds of my peperonis moudy after the 1st harvest...

and heeeere come the latest pics, looks already pretty yummy, eh?

I'm already curious about the small yellow ones (Numex Twilight), they seems to change colors often...from yellow, to purple, to red, to black, etc...

We'll have to hit up the thai restuarants if you ever come by - the wife don't eat hot foods.

Well, I would take some pics - but I feel I got nothing to show yet. My hot pepper plant is looking pretty weak.
I do have a sun flower plant that is already 12 foot - but wtf - I can't eat sun flowers.
I got tomatos, regular peppers, eggplant and some huge pumpkins.

first harvest of the jalapenos:

Post by **floodhound2** » 17 Aug 2009, 10:13

Man those look nice. BB you got a green thumb

Tell me if they taste good and if they got any kick. Well kick for a jalapeno.

Post by **DNR** » 17 Aug 2009, 10:14

Nice! try this :
cut the 'penos in half, paste in creamcheese, and wrap in bacon. Throw it on the bar-be or stick it in the oven.

nice green thumb man!

just yesterday had a vegetarian pizza with EXTRA jalapeno

wow..., my lips went numb

but I love this feeling

Post by **bad_brain** » 18 Aug 2009, 06:52

well, advanced chili weirdos like me could eat jalapenos in the morning cereals...

I have eaten a few yesterday. they are hot, but not challenging at all. but I expected that, the italian ones ("lingua di fuoco") I will harvest next are supposed to be better, they should have the same level as thai chilis....but I am really curious about the chinese ones (they still need a while), they are supposed to be REALLY hot, just one level less than the Bhut Jolokia ones from India...

here are the italian ones, just have to wait a little until they become red:

and here are the "NuMex Twilight" ones, no idea how hot they will be, but they look really awesome:
