These are going now--started early winter and some from last year. Plan was to do some crossing experiments but they are still fairly small ( except for those overwintered) and I had  cut everything back to defeat thrips ( and I did) but am now battling aphids ( ladybugs arrived 4 days ago)

I lost some of these and have revised my grow list.-See post of 5/29/07 for list of what I'm actually growing this year

WTF? Are you really going to grow that many plants? You need a field to grow them!

Don't have a field. We live in the city. I use lots of pots and put them all over the yard, wherever it's sunny.

Quite a collection, I wish you the best of luck with them! :-)

Well, I've managed to grow something like 70+ different varieties at the same time on my balcony, here in Finland... So, things can be done. ;)

btw: CGN19198 doesn't have an "official" classification at the moment. Still, judging from my own, quite healthy plant, and Fatalii's plant, this very strange capsicum isn't a praetermissum. That's certain, I'd dare to say. It seems to be an eximium, or at least a very close relative to that.

With all the mess around c.cardenasii, c.eximium and c.pubescens, it would be good to get some reliable info about the real differences between cardenasii/eximium/praetermissum...

p.s: anyone yet tasted a Lanceolatum fruit..? Hot? Flavour? Anything? :-)

I have grown this many before and the biggest problem is keeping them watered.

Am growing CGn 19198 to see what I get because of all the discussion. Packet from the seedbank I got this winter still says pratermissum. But I have had lots of things mislabeled from seedbanks.

My lanceolatum did not produce pods last year but now has a couple of ( unripe) pods. Intersting note. Iwas given seeds by a fellow who did get fruit and none of them germinated. He then tried and none of his or another friends germinated either.

After growing cardenasii, eximium, praetermissum and comparing them to CGN 19198, I wouldn't draw the line to any of these, but the closest match could be C. eximium if one wants to draw the line somewhere.
Still, I think it's quite unique, here's an article about that btw:
http://fatalii.net/growing/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=58&Itemid=52

Hi Fatali

Thanks for the article. Makes me even more curious to see what develops.

Hi Guys,

I too are growing out CGN 19198 and Capsicum Lancelotum this year to try and provide further photographic and documentary evidence for you Guys to interpret.

I'll try an update the database this afternoon with Johns info to make sure it is as accurate as possible

That is one hell of a list of peppers John. What on earth do you do with them all? After all there are only so many plants you can given away to friends? You must have 100's of friends  :lol:

mark

I do give away extra plants but there usually aren't that many of them. I only sow a seed or two of each variety hoping to end up with one plant of each. The peppers, themselves are another thing. I freeze a few, dry a few, and give a lot away--make my wife very popular at work.

Hi John,

Due the lack of space. Im only planting 1 or 2 seeds of each variety this year. If I dont get a healthy plant, their is always next year wink:

Ive updated the database with some of the varieties we were missing. Unfortunately I havent had time to find out more information on them yet though.

mark

Hi Mark

Be glad to fill in what info I have from sources. Can you give me a list of them?

Hi John,

That would be any of the varieties you listed that has 'Description currently unavailable' next to the entry in the database.

Feel free to update the descriptions in the database using the passwords I gave you. Don't go out of you way though as its a massive undertaking. It will take years of just plodding along, putting in more info as and when I find it. I must be mad!!

Mark

Finally! Ripe C. lanceolatum

Bland with no heat.

Congrats, John!!! :-)

Any sweetness? Apparently, no heat at all..?

Would you mind if I used those photos in Inferno's "Wild" section with your name? They are very good!

No sweetness or much of any taste--the scale in the picture is in inches so about 1/4 inch diameter--no heat at all--yes you may use the pictures.

Thank you, John!

It seems like we're finding out the reason why these 26-chromosome peppers haven't been cultivated... There's little practical value in either this or c.rhomboideum, unless there are healthy etc. characteristics in them we don't yet know about.

Wonder when one of us will have a chance to grow the first "true" Eastern branch capsicum of 26 chromosomes, from Brazil...

I think you are correct about the limited usefulness of the rarer species being a reason they were not cultivated. But it may also be that these species contain genetic characteristics that could be useful in pepper breeding.

Lainaus käyttäjältä: "JohnF"I think you are correct about the limited usefulness of the rarer species being a reason they were not cultivated. But it may also be that these species contain genetic characteristics that could be useful in pepper breeding.

Absolutely true, John. Nobody ever thought that something like c.flexuosum could be not only cold-resistant, but extremely so, up to the point where they can survive arctic conditions! So, any of these rare plants can well hold some secret we can utilize one day...

And even if they don't, they are treasures as they are!  8)

I will try to enforce use of wild peppers in food here (Sweden) :)

Finally planted pepper seeds today!

And here they are on 5-29-07. Starting to harden them off.

Overwintered plants-outside for the first time time this year

(http://www.pbase.com/chiles400/image/79628949.jpg)

Very nice, John!

Your seedlings look very healthy and consistent.  Are you focusing on any specific varieties this year?

Thanks, Luca

For this year I started all peppers that I have not grown before except for some sweets that I really liked and Seven Pod to compare to the super hots everyone seems to be growing. And of course, I have the overwintered and winter starts which are not new.

This last batch are those started in October and November to do some crossing experiments with. That never happened because of battles with mites and then aphids. As you can see, some did better than others, having large pods, and some are struggling to survive. I expect they will all perk up once outside because I never have insect problems on my outside plants.

(http://www.pbase.com/chiles400/image/79630451.jpg)

No need to list them all, John. <edit>you listed them just as I was writing this post! :lol: </edit>

But I'm interested in knowing how your season will develop.  I've planted many of the seeds I got from you last year, thanks for that!

Wow! That's really an impressive list! I wish you all the luck with them! I'm looking forward to seeing the amazing pics I know you'll take from these varieties ;)

looking good John.

Well, the second week of June I finally got the peppers potted up outside. Here are some of them on the back deck

(http://www.pbase.com/chiles400/image/80977705.jpg)

We are still having cool weather --highs in the 60's and 70's and lows in the 40's and 50's so nothing is doing much at this point. Hoping for warmer weather

John, about the best collection one can ever grow!  8)  You, indeed, also have all the hottest known varieties there: Scorpion, 7-Pod, different versions of Naga, etc. I'm sure many of us here in Finland just drooled while reading through that list. And some of us went pale, knowing what that amount of capsaicine means!  :twisted:

Good luck - hopefully you'll collect a truckload of hottest delight!

John,

Is that some Physalis I see in the foreground?

Thanks, aji.

tk-- that is a summer squash, though I have several physalis and other solanaceae growing elsewhere.

Ok then, my second guess would have been cucumber. It just seemed so unlike you to have anything outside genus capsicum :)

Ah--besides all the peppers I have 35 varieties of tomatoes, 2 kinds of kale, 2 kinds of chard, leeks and 3 varieties of onions, 3 varieties of beans, 17 kinds of cucumbers, 13 varieties of eggplant, 8 kinds of summer and 8 kinds of winter squash, 1 watermelon, pear melons, 4 kinds of husk cherry, 3 kinds of tomatillos, several solanaceae, 2 kinds of chinese cabbage, 3 kinds of Bok choy, a whole bunch of different salad greens ( endives, ecaroles, lettuces, asian greens, etc,) sugar snap peas, parley, cilantro, several kinds of basil, a couple of thymes, sage, tarragon, several mints, a couple of oreganos, lemon grass, rosemary, marjoram, chives-regular and garlic, and a bunch of flowers.

Oh, i guess you really smoked us all with that :D

Hail storm yesterday. This may slow things down a bit.

My gosh.  Any time for sleeping John?  WOW!!!!   That is just incredible.  No need to visit a Farmer's Market for you.  :)

Hey Chris

I seem to remember some non pepper crops in your pictures too. We do really enjoy the things out of the garden and they are even more appreciated because the season is so short.

:shock: Damn! What else can i say, that's just so impressive... :o

John,

It is nice to see that your plants survived the hail storm and they seem to be thriving well. Your driveway looks really impressive. You must live in a nice neighborhood, if you can keep so many plants close to the street.

Fingers crossed--No problems to this point.  Bangor has little crime.

Ok, things are picking up. I planned to not  put pots on the front lawn this year ( too much work moving them to mow) but wanted to give more sun to some that weren't getting all they could. Some of those moved were the "Super Hots"  Plants between 15" and 25" except for one tiny late germinator. Bhut Jolokia, Seven Pod, and Naga Morrich have flowers but Bih Jolokia  has only unopened buds.One Dorset Naga and one Trinidad Scorpion have pods up to 1-1/2" long and seem way ahead of the others.

Hi John
fantastic the plants
and the place where you are  :wink:

Hi Grifo

thank you--we liked Rome very much when we were there last year

Best of luck pal
What a arsenal of chiles  :wink:

Still very few ripe ones and we have had frost in northern Maine already. Yesterday I brought 18 plants inside and the day before that a bunch of herbs ( in the hanging pots). I have also dug up the  plants that were in half buried pots beside the drive and put them in pots on the lawn for more sun--plants from  back deck  now also on back lawn for same reason. Still hoping for a weather break so that more will ripen.

Seven Pod-Jonah Cultivar

John,

Your pictures make me drool...   well, maybe not the seven pod, which looks like it would be too hot for me. It is interesting how the really hot chinenses have similar bumpy look.

Is the 7 Mohols a chinense? How hot is it? It looks like peach color version of Trinidad Perfume. I would like to trade seeds for 7 Mohols and the Biquinho, but I may not have any varieties, which you do not have yet already grown.

Hi

I received 7 Molhos as C. annuum but it has a hint of chinense and is very hot--I'm not sure what it really is. The Biquino is a chinense with only a hint of heat.

7 Molhos flower- mostly one per node

We have had frost and the outside season is over. I have plants inside to ripen off pods and will try to over winter a few. These were taken this morning and I only have a few yet with unripe pods


PI 441654-MB--interesting little pods on this baccatum var. praetermissum

PI 643124-same species as Chapeu de Frade but more irregular. baccatum var. umbilicatum

Pequin, Marco's--late but interesting colored pods

Rocoto, Gt. Red -Peruvian Mkt --finally ripening but only 3 pods on 2 plants. Will try to over winter in hopes of better production next year

Jaloro-MB--kind of like a large jalapeno except for colors

Chilhaucle,Amarillo-very late -pods on plant show no sign of coloring. These from a branch that broke are finally turning.

As for where I am now. I have chucked a bunch of plants and am down to 11 in the garage ( the over wintering experiment) and 19 in the house--many I will try to over winter-some already cut way back-- I have 6 yet to give me ripe pods ( actually 5 because Nioi had one ripe pod but I am waiting for more before pictures) 2 are just very late-Aji Amariilo-the other from the Peruvian mkt in Milan and Thai Yellow--ciliatum bloomed but produced no pods and Gambia Big Orange and Cumari Passarinho were late starts and are still small plants. It was a cool summer so it's been a struggle to get a least a ripe pod of each variety. Here are the pod pictures to date
