Ok, I'll try it this year.

[JohnF]

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:

[JohnF]

Hi Grifo

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

[Jamana]

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

[JohnF]

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.

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.

[JohnF]

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

[JohnF]

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.

[JohnF]

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
