Planted the first seeds for 2020. It is way too cold outside, but i plant in the office, got a big window facing south-west so tons of sun and temperature steady around 25 Celsium. It is practically a green house.
Experimental seeding this year, two new varieties that a friend of a friend provided :
- Aji Charapita, famous as the most expensive hot peppers in the world. Idk about that, seeds are all over the net so i doubt it. Those peppers are very cool, little orange balls with a sudden and extreme burst of heat that also quickly goes away.
- Scotch bonnet , those are like scorpions but bigger and about half hot, so it is a great everyday choice.
The Carolina reaper plants gave a lot of peppers. But i am probably growing them just because it is the hottest in the world. This shit is not edible, it is purely toxic. We are 3 experienced, almost addicted, chili eaters and yet we haven't been able to consume, together, even one whole normal sized pepper at a meal. The burn is really out of this world. Oh well ill keep farming it, it is so extreme as a.... creature that it is enough rewarding do it. It is easy now too, the tree is multi-year. After the big colds , around early March, i chop it down to a few inches above the soil, then after a little while it sprouts new branches and re-grows, using the already established root system. So new 'babies' are much stronger. It will be the 4th year i do this IIRC. Awesome!
