Aji norteño

Hi again!

I forgot about this picture. It's from yesterday, and shows one of my aji norteño that is maturing in a nice way.

Fabulous taste, even if they never got the chance to mature on the plant. Instead, they are in the fridge...

Keep it hot!

Autumn colours

Hi again!

Another non-chile pepper related post :-)

We've had fantastic autumn weather, and I love the colours, so I want to share another picture with you. This picture is taken on Långholmen. One of my favorite places in central Stockholm.

Wishing you all a great week!

Stockholm

Hi!

Took this picture on the way home from work yesterday. Beautiful day, and you can even see the moon over the royal palace (about a 1/4 in from the left side).


Except nice weather, not much to report on the chile pepper front :-)

Wishing you all a great weekend!

7 pod brown

Hi!

I'm going through some "old" pictures from August.

I like the distinct point at the bottom.

Here you see it even better...
A small harvest. Not very many pods, but they are almost too hot for me anyway. So it's more than enough :-)
Very promising with all the flowers, but the final harvest was not super...

Hot regards,

Orange cheiro and the scorpion - final harvest

Good evening!

It's been a while since the last update. The reason is that not much has happened with the chiles. I brought them in earlier this autumn, and then I moved them out again. They got lots of aphids, and it became a mess inside...

On the other hand, it's been a fairly warm autumn. At least in comparison with the summer. The coldest days, it was 5C in early June, and it has not been colder than that.

But this weekend, I did the final harvest. Just a couple of varieties with mature pods. Most of them are green. A weird chile pepper year...

This is how my aji norteño looked like. Not a pretty sight. But it had lots of peppers, and they taste great even immature. So that's good :-)

Here are acouple of mature orange cheiro. I really enjoy the heat, taste and smell. Absolutely fantastic. Though, I think they are hotter than I expected.

And this year's surprise. The Trinidad Scorpion. Definitely too hot for me. And it's the second best yielding variety. Isn't that funny. The pepper that I am almost unable to eat....
A handful of snacks :-)

What wold life be without assistance. Here are some guys that are busy clearing out the jungle. With a little help from Carl :-)

I have some more pictures, but I will share them with you later. Wishing you all a great week to come!

Hot regards,
