Unfortunate Accident

17 years ago

{{gwi:1212305}}

My 7 year old son tried to help me out in the garden today by picking a bunch of peppers. He was so proud of the job he did. There was no way I could be mad at him with the look on his face. I told him to ask me before he picks anymore peppers. Peppers in the top left are banana peppers, the top right are new mexico green chiles, and the ones on the bottom are super chiles. They definitely will not go to waste!

    It is hard telling with the banana peppers. To me, they kind of don't look like banana peppers, but there are so many different varities of banana peppers, so who knows. The super chiles had another week or so til they were red, and the numex were perfect for my liking. I just wanted them to get a bit bigger. e definitely had some fun. I know I would have had fun picking all those peppers.

    Looks like I will be roasting some green chiles today!!!

    My super chiles haven't been any where near that size. Mine are about the 2" long at the most. There must be more than one variety named super chile. I've really liked mine for taste and heat provided. They came from the nursery and are a ''Chef Jeff's'' plant.

    Well, the plant he picked on does not look like my other super chiles. They are a bit smaller. I think it crossed with something last year. not sure what, but it still tastes like a super chile and still has the heat of a super chile.

    Those bottom peppers in the pic are bannana peppers not super chillis. The others I'm not sure.

    The super chile's are prolly a cross bewteen super chile and banana or something else. The banana pepper seeds I got in a trade, so I think somebody mis labeled their seeds. hat has happened to me a lot. They still taste good!

    I thought the bottom was banana also.

    I saved those seeds personally, so I am pretty sure they are super chile crossed with something.

    The top left aren't bannana though. Bannana's are light green unripe.

    Yeah, I dunno. The seeds were received in a trade. To me they look a lot like an anaheim type with a bit more wrinkles. Any ideas? Anyone care to take a stab at what peppers these are?

    My 2 year old grandson was helping me in the garden a few days ago and picked a pepper before I could blink, stem leaves and all and was soo proud. Good thing it was just a jalapeno and not one of the 7 pots, Nagas or Habs. I am sure he will learn the hard way. He already eats hot jalapeno peppers which amazes me. Does the 7 year old eat peppers, too? I love it when the kids are into making things grow and eating them, too. Kathy

    Well, I get him to try the sweet ones. He does not like hot peppers. He claims he hates peppers, but he will still try them for his dad!! He is kind of a picky eater, so I am happy when he tries things we grow in the garden.

    Hey...just in time for your new roaster, at least, huh? =)

  • 17 years ago

    Well, the roaster came after, but still...I guess we could say it gave me motivation to build the roaster!
