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!

A small update and a black currant cutting

Hi!

Yesterday I repotted some more chiles.

The really small ones, that I'm not sure if they will make it, have been put in bigger pots. Usually I wait for the roots to develop. But I want to stress these little fellows to see if they start to grow faster. Or rather, to see if they start growing. The ones I'm talking about are:
  • Bod'e
  • Patricia's (Pimenta cambuci)
  • PI 441624 Porta da rua, Aji Yuquitania

The other ones that are in the biggest pots now are:
  • Dedo de moca
  • Orange cheiro - svag?
  • Aji norteño
Also, the Trinidad Scorpion Morouga Blend has got a new pot. It's looking fine. I will get back with some pictures later on.

In the meanwhile, I'm sharing this picture with you. It's a cutting that I took from my old black currant bush that is living on our neighbours yard since probably 10 years. The cuttings have been out on the balony all winter, deep frozen, only covered with some fiber net. It is alive and it seems to be able to make it. Amazing!

Have a great week!

Three more


Three more varieties showed up today!

It's my old favorite that I call "Patricia". It's really a pimenta cambuci, but I call it Patricia because it's a variety that she brought from Brazil. It's a mild very nice variety.

And then it's another favorite. Aji Norteño. A very nice variety.

And then I'm very excited to see that the cumari seeds from Salvador showed up! This is how the mature pods look like.

And here are some immature pods. The plant produces a lot of pods!

Sometimes the seedlings don't drop the seed, and gets stuck. If the dry seed is not removed, it might cause the seedling to die. So it needs to be removed. My eyes are not that good, but Patricia has been doing some "surgery" tonight :-)

Patrik has some good instructions how to do this (in Swedish) on his blog. Here -> http://chilepeppar.blogspot.com/2012/01/friserat-fro.html

Wishing you a great week!
