Here you can see me picking seeds from ripe pods.
Patricia's uncle also had malagueta (C. frutescens). Here you can see me behind it. I am in heaven :-)

The origin of my dedo de moça
The dedo de moça that I grow originates from Patricia's uncles farm outside Rio de Janeiro. When we were there over ten years ago, I got seeds from it. We were there in December, during their winter, and I still remember the hot days with a strong rainshower each day. Compared to this climate, I think it is amazing that it is at all possible to grow it here in Stockholm.

ReplyDeleteHi @Jan & @mascalzone! Thank you for your comments. Yes, I think different chile pepper varieties are fantastic, but what makes it even better, is the possibility to meet new friends, and new places. In that case one can say that 1+1=3 :-)
