Sorry I missed those Potawie, the Red Rocotos, they're very appley and perfumed. I thought they'd be hotter though, not as hot as a Hab at all.

[POTAWIE]

Thanks RB, they sure look like juicy tomatoes or apples

[Pepperfreak]

That is an awesome array of peppers. Nice looking harvest and now comes the fun part, eating all of them.

[talas]

[915river]

Very nice colorful display of your harvest good selection of peppers.

[rainbowberry]

Thank you everyone. I de-seeded 2 bowlfuls of these earlier and surprisingly my hands arn't one fire.

I haven't tasted the Mustard habs yet. I sent my first pod to someone a week or so ago and they said:

Mustard Hab - Slightly sweeter smell than the antillais caribbean. Lovely colour. Again, flesh is moist and melts in mouth. Tastes beautiful and fresh. Smoky edge. Heat starts after five minutes, peaks after 15 and is gone after 25 mins. Wow. Taste 8.5/10, Heat 9/10

what a lovely harvest there rb.

You know I can burn baked beans Pauley. I wouldn't risk wasting the pods to attempt a sauce :shocked: I can just imagine myself like some kind of witch stirring her cauldron and emptying the contents of my cupboards to make some kind of terrible hot concoction whilst rabbiting away to my black dog and getting him to taste it at various stages http://smiliedev.com/smilies/character00136.gif

[millworkman]

Those rocotos look like little apples. Very nice selection RB.

[pepperfever]

Beautiful peppers RB, they look so good. You certainly did a great job with them.

[Sanj]

Avesome harvest...
Your tobago seasoning looks different than mine..mine is little elongated.

[Chiliac]

Overdue congrats from me. This IS one proper harvest and - as you said - nice and colorful, too.

[gotpeppers]

Damn you have alot of ripe peppers this early in the season. Mine won't be ready until nov or later. Your peppers look awesome. I can't wait to see my Mustard's I only have a couple of flowers blooming on it so far.

[Biscombe]

Bloody brilliant!

[Micca302]

Absolutely fantastic RB! Some very nice and HOT peppers happening there.
How do you find the heat/taste on the Tobago? Got a few going, but some are hot and some are not! Good luck with processing those hot babies.

[rainbowberry]

I've found the heat on the Tobago varies too Micca, but most of mine arn't mild.

[LUCKYDOG]

What a beautiful array of colors ! Great job RB

You've stolen my sunshine, you know it normally belongs in the South-East. I'm still nursing my burnt hands from chopping up all those peppers.

[Sickmont]

Damn....sooooooo jealous.

[andres]

[Omri]

The rocotos look amazing! wonderful job!

I hope ya don't mind me asking, but where did ya get the seeds from? are the seeds inside black?

[Micca302]

I've found the heat on the Tobago varies too Micca, but most of mine arn't mild.

Definately seems to vary alot. I got mine from a lady in the netherlands and thought they might have been crossed. One plant looks alot like yours RB and the other is pointy like Cheezydemon's. I have decided to grow some plants from seed that i purchased from Chilliseeds.co.uk and will be interested to see how these turn out.
Nice going with those little Caterpillars too, mmmm yummy!

So now i've got to ask RB, what's your favourite Pepper out of all these? I know that all Peppers are unique in some way, but surely you must favour some over the others.

I think it was someone off CG's Omri. Off course the seeds are black ;) they taste apple like, thick fleshed, very heavy pods and the seeds are in a little pocket inside, and the plant is hairy and sprawls over everything like ivy. The Orange Rocoto that I'm growing dosen't have the round shape like the red though.

The Aribibi Gusano (caterpillars) are really nice, a real pain to de-seed though. My favourite out of all those are the Chocolate, Peach and Orange Habs, actually any of them with the name 'habanero' really. I probably use the Orange Habs the most.

I still have a thing for the good ol original Orange Hab. Has such a fruity flavour that's hard to find in other Peppers. After years of trying to find that taste without the heat i seem to have found that there is a flavour/heat relationship(but that's another topic).

Yes, that's the shape I'm after. the ones the seed companies showed on their website is kinda longer. can you remember that someone's nick? or maybe you could spare a few seeds my way? :)
Never had rocotos and they look extremely tasty! the temps *should* get lower soon, so it's just the right time to get them up.

[rainbowberry]

Yeah off course I'll send you some seeds Omri. I wouldn't say these are hot though. I've just found out who they're from (Afterburn) a lot of my plants are from his seeds. I've actually got Red Rocoto seeds left from what he gave me this year. There's 12 left if you want them, I can always send more when mine have dried out if you like. Someone told me that the Red Rocotos are usually this round shape with the Orange and Yellow being more oval shaped.

[talas]

Omri Canario are nice to ;)

[theHippySeedCo]

very very nice :)

outstanding..

Yours look amazing. much better shape than the ones I've seen elsewhere (including thechileman.org)... at least in my opinion.
I thought they were meant to be "Extremeley Hot", is that not the case? anyways, I would absoloutly love to get a few seeds from that gene pool. they look delicious!

[rainbowberry]

I wouldn't say they are hot like a Hab, I'll have to munch one by itself later to taste it more accurately. PM me your address.

[chilehunter]

a very belated congrats on your harvest, looks good.

[PrairieChilihead]

Beautiful images! Fantastic peppers! Have you ever made a video of your garden for YouTube? I would love to see it.

Thanks for taking the time to post this!!

No I've never thought about making a video. Nearly all my plants are in the greenhouse and you wouldn't see too much as it's so crowded, I can't stand up in it and the plants are growing at all sorts of funny angles, they all hold each other up. I tried to move two plants out of the greenhouse the other week and the rest of the row fell down like dominos.

[Omri]

Crowded is good! it's like a plant orgy. :D

[tori]

Wow Rainbowberry! Those pictures like like they could be in a cookery book! Well done! They look so colourful and shiny. Were they all planted at the same time? What was the highest yielding variety?
Tori

[rainbowberry]

Hi Tori, thank you. They weren't all planted at the same time as I purposely tried to stagger them out so I'd have a more 'even crop' than last year, and because of failure for some to germinate so I kept trying. The biggest producer has been the PC-1 but I won't shout about that one ;) otherwise it's the Orange Habs so far with the Red Rocoto closely following.

[Skydiver]

Wonderful looking peppers, sooo tasty looking.

Oh and holy cow I love the presentation and labels.

/bows to your awesomeness
