Noid Purple offspring(pics)

18 years ago

Last year I posted about an unknown pepper from a Sebes seed pack that I got from Reimer's(yeah,I know). I liked the pepper, saved seed, and started three plants(one got chewed down to the nubbin and is too small yet to tell what it will produce). FWIW, here's what I got.

The plant with the larger peppers had to bounce back from being topped by deer, so I haven't any ripe ones to try yet. I did try the small pepper and it's pretty hot. The last pic(posted last year)is the original unknown.

    oops - wrong- Bolivian Rainbow

  • 18 years ago

    Yes, they are similar to Bolivian Rainbow, although the largest pepper so far is only 5/8 of an inch. Unfortunately, I'll probably never know exactly what they are, but it's fun to see what develops and I appreciate your input and interest.
    I will be posting pics of the other peppers as they ripen. I do have a question for anyone. Are the horizontal ridges on the larger peppers particular of a certain type of pepper, or are they the beginnings of "corking"? They can be seen in the 5th and 6th pic. Thanks!

    Well, here's what the third plant has produced. They aren't ripe yet, but they are very hot. The stem isn't woody, that's a stick holding up the plant. The peppers are about 2 1/2" long.


    Also, here's what the black peppers ripened to. I've picked about a half dozen of them and none of them have seeds! Can anyone tell me why that is? They are also very hot!

    I can't tell you what they are. But, Awesome! SEEDLESS chili peppers! I'd stick with it since it requires less work in the kitchen. LOL!

    I picked a couple more yesterday...both seedless. I think I'm definitely going to dry these for powder. I guess if I want to keep growing this plant I'd better start cuttings for the winter? Or, should I dig the plant up, pot and prune at the end of the season? I don't have a lot of space inside, but I could place maybe a 6" pot next to a lamp. It's not a large plant to begin with, maybe 2' tall and not very wide.

    Nice Plants....

    you may want to get rid of the weeds in your raised beds. They are robbing your plants of nutrition.

    You mean these weeds?LOL!

    Yes, I understand what you're saying and I appreciate the suggestion, but I'm just an old broad with physical limitations and I do the best I can.
    There are ten apartments in this building and I'm the only tenant that gardens on a regular basis. Others on occasion will throw some seed down, and then hope that they get "magically" tended to. DH is also disabled, but will pound stakes in and such for me occasionally. The weeding is up to me and I get to it when I can, but then I have to take a few days away from the garden to recuperate(it usually takes me two days to weed the whole bed). Last year I had funds to put mulch down and that helped, but couldn't do it this year, so I've been weeding around the base of the plants on a semi-regular basis. I hope it's not making you all cringe looking at my posts...it does look better than this at times :D

    Don't worry noinwi, the weeds will wait for you..I also am limited and my gardens are nowhere close to what they used to be but my peppers don't seem to mind too much, at least they are producing. I hear the two days to weed and recuperating is something else. I always say I can get down with the best of them, it's the getting up that's the problem. They told me I couldn't garden any more but what do doctors know? lol. I don't let that stop me, might not be the neatest one in town but sure gives good peppers, including lots of super hots.

    I think that eating hot peppers helps keep us out there gardening! I can't handle the super hots yet, but I'm working up to it. Thanks for the support, Vic01!
