September update

Hi!

An update. Most of the plants are still out on the balcony. Temperatures are almost summer-like.

Here is the classic - Chile de arbol.

This one is new for me. Yellow chicken heart. It's really hotter than I expected.

The good old rocopica. A cross between Capsicum cardenasii and pubescens.

The bode roxa is a beauty. I will try to keep it inside for the winter.

Aji chinchi amarillo. Haven't tasted this one yet. The shape is different, and I'm sure it's a good one :-) Since it's a baccatum.

Pimenta cambuci. Mild, with a nice taste.

I don't know the name of this one. I call it CA1, being a Capsicum annuum. No heat. Like a bell pepper.

This is a type of aji amarillo, but since I lost the name of it, I call it CB1.

Mareka fana (berbere). Haven't tasted it yet. I don't expect it to be so hot. But I have misjudged the heat before.

Roumanian gallo. A peperoncino. Not very hot. It had a rough start with spider mites, but has somewhat recovered.

More pimenta cambuci.

Another "CA1"

 Roumanian gallo.

This is another noname. I call it CA2. The plant reminds me of goatsweed, but the pods are more like serranos. Here is the flower. Capsicum annuum.
 Another CA2.

My old malagueta. I like the way the flowers come in clusters.

CB1. Beautiful shape. That "typical" pepper shape.
 The yellow chicken heart with plenty of pods.

Malagueta flowers. Capsicum frutescens. A great plant. I guess it likes it a little warmer than here in Stockholm, but it's doing fine.

Another CB1. Nice shape.

And last, but not least, my favorite - dedo de moca.

Wishing you a great week!

Capsicum spring flowers

Hi!

Not really spring yet. But the overwintered varieties are flowering!

Bode roxa
Beautiful flowers on this Capsicum chinense.

And another one.

Roumanian Gallo
Capsicum annuum are rare in my windows. But this one made me curious. Looks like it soon will have a pod coming. This one is from this season. Three months ago, we started the seeds. Already flowers.

Congo yellow
I like the shape of this one. Like a street light.

Habanero yellow
More chinense. With a little luck, I can have fresh habaneros for midsummer :-)

Wild Brasil
Very different variety. The flowers really come in clusters. Here you can see a tiny pod shaping.

Wishing you a great week!

Bode roxa

It's the first year I grow this chinense. There are just a couple of pods on my plant, but they look very interesting. A marble-like texture. Very nice looking. I will wait a while before tasting it. I have a feeling that it will change even more in colour.

Hot regards,

Summer update

Hi!

There is still hope :-) Despite of temperatures colder than on Christmas, strong winds and never ending rain... There are a few pods out there on the balcony.

Team chinense is way ahead of team baccatum... Also my canario looks promising, but no flowers yet. Hoping for a warm autumn!

Black naga
A new variety for me. Looks very hot....



Douglah
 A new variety for me. Looking good!


Orange cheiro
 An old favorite, and it was my last chance to get some fresh seeds. So these pods are very welcome!


7 pot brain strain red
 A new variety for me. Judging from the texture, it could be very hot.... :-)

7 pot primo
 Another one that looks very promising!

Bode roxa
 This one has been different from the very beginning. The plant got beaten early in the summer, but does its best to recover...

Please check out my homepage for more pictures. The latest updates are here:

Take care,

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.

7 pot primo
First flowers


Bode roxa

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

I love the shape of this one.

7 pot brain strain red
I really hope that these flowers set fruit!



Black Cayman
These two flowers here are turning away from each other...
While these two are hugging.
Aren't they cute?

Douglah
A promising battery of flowers...



7 pod brown
 First flowers


Have a great weeked everyone! And may the best entry in the contest win :-)
