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,

7 pod brown

The plants are very late this year, and there are thousands of flower buds, but I'm afraid that it's too late for them this year. But that is not much to do about. I'm enjoying the rips pods that I have.

Some examples from 7 pod brown. More pictures here: http://petterssononline.com/habanero/peppers.php?action=variety&id=1246

But of course I'm still hoping for a long warm autumn. I would love to see more pods on the plants... :-)

Hot regards,

Excursion on the balcony

 Hi!

I got restless... Eurovision song contest is nothing for me anymore :-) So I started harvesting pictures from my little photo excursion on the balcony today.

This is my overwintered chiltepin, reaching for the sky. It's quite tall. At least 1,8m. But still no flowers.

I think that these flowers are absolutely great. Pointing in all directions. Looking good.

Very nice flowers.

I love the shape of this one.

I really hope that these flowers set fruit!

These two flowers here are turning away from each other...

While these two are hugging.

Aren't they cute?

A promising battery of flowers...

Hi!

Just want to share this picture with you. Look at the size of the leaves of my 7 pod brown....Big for such a small plant.

I really hope it continues to grow this way.

Wishing you a great weekend!

Major repotting Friday

Hi!

It's been some really nice days lately, so the plants have been enjoying themselves a lot in the window... Therefore it was time to repot this happy bunch :-)

Sometimes they don't get enough light, and stretch too much towards the window. That makes them tall and weak. When I repot them, I plant them "deep" in the pots, so they can develop roots, and get stronger and more robust. Here is an example of that.
Before: Here is my 7 pot brain strain red before I put soil in the pot.

After: As you can see, I have planted it quite deep in the soil. That's OK, and new roots will develop.

Here are the first three. From left to right. 7 pot brain strain red, 7 pot primo, 7 pod brown.

And the second batch. Bode roxa, bode roxa and black naga.

It's hard work! So we decided to go out for an ice cream. We sang - I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream :-) A beautiful day!

Coming back home, I repotted two more. In front - Douglah, and behind it is Black Cayman.

Phew. Time for an espresso!

Wishing you all a great weekend!

7 pod brown

Hi!

Both good and bad news today. The 7 pod brown showed up today. And the one Black Cayman that was up, didn't make it. So that mini pot is back on the bathroom floor. It's not usual that the small seedlings die that fast. I think it has to do with the age of the seeds.

But it sure looks like it's going to be a "hot" summer! This is the current list of chiles:

• Orange cheiro
• Bode roxa
• Douglah
• 7 pot brain strain red
• 7 pot primo
• 7 pod brown
• Black naga
• Indian frutescens

And I have one variety from last year. The chiltepin.

Still waiting for some favorites to show up...

In the meanwhile, enjoy a picture from a gray, icy Saturday... Anyone care for a swim? :-)

Hot regards,
