Your peppers please!

Chocolate bells sound interesting. What did they taste like?

Most of the bells taste the same to me. The wife liked the chocolates for the color contrast in salads. These were saved seeds from the chocolates out of a pack of Grand Bell Mix seeds I grew last year. Growing saved seeds from hybrids is always a crap shoot. You can expect about a third of them to be true.

I kind figured it was more of a color thing, cool stuff though.

i had lost my over wintering hot pepper plants when we got down to 17 degrees here down in south louisiana.
so i started over with seeds off my best pods from past grows.

so these plants would be classified as ......open pollinated f2"s ?

I have not tried growing peppers on our farm but I'd love to. Maybe, I'll this time and get some tips from you.

Oooh, infused oil. I haven't tried that. I usually turn about 2/3 of mine into pickled peppers that I eat with everything for the year. I like the oil though, might have to give that shot.

Cool stuff! I like that oil. I found a different use for some of my mint. Muddled in the bottom of a glass for Mojito's. But a cup of mint tea sounds good right now.

I stopped by a local nursery the other day and they had just gotten a load of peppers in. Picked up a Carolina Reaper, Serrano, Poblano, Ancho, and a couple Jalapeno's. I forgot the Thai Chili but I'll have to go back and get one so I'll be able to make Prik Nam Pla. I use the Serrano's and Jalapeno's for cooking or seeded and sliced lengthwise for Banh Mi sandwiches. Jalapeno's are good for ABT's as well. The problem I have is room. I always want to grow more than I have room for. I've been creating additional garden space on the side of the house but I'm running out of that. Guess I'm going to have to rip up some more grass in the backyard to make more garden space.

My peppers are just wee things but it'll be a couple weeks before they go out still. This year I'm trying Doe Hill sweet peppers & an unknown hot pepper (which I suspect is a trinidad 7-pot) that's covered in small purple peppers with a gorgeous taste & intense heat.

Only if they were from a hybrid cross, if the original seeds were open pollinated/heirloom then it should be a stable gene pool. P1, F1 etc are used to show generational relationships which aren't relevant for stable crosses.

I am growing some Mammoth Jalapeno from saved seeds. Also have 3 bought plants. It will be interesting to see how many of the saved seeds are true to form.
