RE: Bhut Jolokia - Last Update Until Next Year

in #esteem4 years ago

I love plants, but so far in the last few years I've not been in a location
Where I could try food plants.
I DO have a friend with a garden, and I now live not too far from her.
I doubt she would appreciate any cross pollination between a
Super hot pepper and any of her bells, chili or jalapenos.
Many years ago, my mother planted bell peppers almost
Alongside cherry peppers and hot chili peppers.
The resulting fruits of the bells and cherry were hotter
Than they should have been.
Who knew? We did then. Also, she had arranged for
A load of pure chicken compost (raising chickens
In long factory houses is big business down
Where I am from, so their droppings are
Problematic to dispose of. That may
Have been a factor.) I've been
Cautiously adventurous with
Habanero peppers; don't
Like the heat THAT
Much, so I'll stick
With my Poblano
And Jalapeno.

Sort:  

Cross pollination can definitely cause "super breeds" to occur. When I was a young lad I experienced a habanero that was far hotter than it should have been. In fact I'm pretty sure it was hotter than these ghost peppers were. It could just seem that way because I was not used to hot peppers at the time..

I'm working on an indoor greenhouse. I'm going to check out some LED lights. I just found out that they are much cheaper than they were years ago, and apparently they are awesome for indoor growing :)

Thank you for your thoughtful comment Jerry :)

I don't know about LED Grow lights, but LED light strips are very
reasonable. Rather than put up with the BUZZZZ of the overhead
fluorescents, I put one $15 strip over my sink and another
Over my stove

Yes, LED are an inexpensive, energy efficient, excellent solution for indoor plants.
I picked up 3 of these just a short while ago. No post today, I'm very busy tonight :)

Enjoy.

I just saw this, and I couldn't resist
Please laugh and don't be offended Jake

I'm not offended at all Jerry! That is funny 😂
That sounds about right, I'm always eating extremely hot stuff! 😂
