Little Elf Pics - 09-13-08

[AlabamaJack]

I decided to harvest my two Little Elf plants today...these plants are gorgeous when full of pods and are good producers...taste is earthy but not dirty with a fair heat in the mid to back palate and throat...

There must be 500 of these little peppers...the largest is about 3/4" long and about 3/8" diameter at the base...

thats awesome, theyre like tiny little christmas trees haha

thats a pretty decent harvest too, what do they taste like?

[millworkman]

Very pretty AJ. I am all about the ornamentals right now. I have about 7 pods on that one large Purple Tiger that I posted pictures of earlier.

[AlabamaJack]

they don't taste bad but I wouldn't want a steadiet of them either...they are just pretty...I think I am going to just put some in olive oil in a pretty bottle I have and make a christmas gift out of these...

I think next year in the flower bed around my bradford pear tree in my front yard, I am going to plant these Little Elfs and Purple Tigers...that will make a very colorful bed....

Hey AJ, how long do the Little Elfs take to germinate? I had no luck with the seeds you sent me but I am afraid that I was probably being way to impatient. I still have two seeds left but I was just wondering.

They are pretty & they produce heavy I had those before but it take long time to deseed those babies but is a gorgeous ornamental pepper.

The ones I started sprouted pretty quickly as I recall...don't worry about the seeds man...I can get you as many as you want...pm me your addy again and I will send you a few of these pods...

Many thanks AJ. But I do not think you need to go through that trouble. There will most likely be some left in the parcel by the time I get it. If not then I will most definitely take you up on that offer.

Great looking plant and I don't need to mention the bowl full of pods.

I am also planning on planting several ornamentals alongside the beds next season.

[Omri]

I have some seedlings of my own! how many seeds per pod? am I going to have a lot of?

[Pepperfreak]

That is a pretty pepper bush.

Make sure to use proper methods since chile oils can become home for Botulism (and fermentation);)

remember the little elf plant that was stripped naked by aphids?...this is it...totally recovered once I put it outside...

Thanks for the reminder Potawie...I was going to just make something ornamental but if it is edible and got oil in it someone may eat it...thanks..

[rainbowberry]

I'm definitely growing Little Elf next year AJ after someone kindly sent me some seeds for it. I was going to grow it just because I liked the name, but after your pics I certainly am.

[AlabamaJack]

there are plenty of seeds to go around...if anyone needs any, just gimme a shout....
