Mystery Pepper... any ideas?

Grub · March 1, 2007

Hi,

This is a three-year old plant and these are the first chillies from it after dropping more flowers than any other Solancea I have ever grown...

And after three years... taste? ZERO heat, slight sweetness, nothing to write home about.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Grubs

I remember! The peppers took a lot longer to recover than the tomato seedlings, that's for sure. All I remember is that I stuck the names or PI numbers onto the straws (which I'm sure are long gone now)
