apkopoju šodien savu čillī grāmatvedību. divu mēnešu laikā kopš sēklas ieliku mitrumā (čillīši dīgst lēni, 2-3 nedēļas ir standarts, bet šoreiz ietaupīju laiku, diedzējot siltumā, pie radiādōriem), esmu apaudzis ar 95 podiņiem, kuros tup 166 sprīdi-divus gari dēsti no 25ām šķirnēm.
smagu sirdi piekritu mijai, ka vairāk par pusi no bēbīšiem līdz ražai neiznēsāšu, tālab acumirklī apsveru, kā atbrīvoties no 50 podiem, pretī gūstot maksimālu labumu – i naudu, i graudu, i vēl to tur, uz bē.
vienvārdsakot, es vēl apsveru, kādu dziedojumu lūgt (3-5), bet vēl svarīgāk būtu rudenī dabūt pretī sēklas no pāris pipariem. [kvadrātiekavās – cik podiņi dabonami]
1 [1] Tasmanian Brown Habanero CAPSICUM CHINENSE
Tasmanian Brown Habanero, a Chinense from the Caribbean. The plant grows nice and bushy and gets to around 1-1.5 meters tall in a pot. The branches and leaves are thin thus making it bushy in appearance. The pods look really cool and weird shaped with a thick top and a pointy bottom. The reason they are called Tasmanian Habanero may be because they resemble the shape of Tasmania, a state of Australia. The pods start with a nice green and then go to a brown colour once ripe. The pods have a really thick flesh and don’t have a stingy burn, but a nice deep burn. An awesome producer and great looking plant in either pot or ground. Flavour: It has an amazing habanero flavour, crisp and fruity without that earthy taste, that some habaneroes have. You get a bit of an apple flavour in the background. Heat: Hot
2 [2] Caterpillar Chilli CAPSICUM CHINENSE
Aribibi Gusano or Caterpillar chilli is a very cool looking and rare little plant from Bolivia. Gusano means “Worm” in Spanish, so that’s where they get the name, as they look like a little worm or caterpillar, very very cool. The Caterpillar Chilli is a beautiful looking plant. It grows to around 60 cm in a pot and has sort of an umbrella shape. An amazing producer of hundreds of pods. The pods are about 4-5 cm long, 1 cm wide and look like a Caterpillar with their wrinkles. They start off a light green, then change to a creamy white and finishing white. Looks spectacular and is a new favourite of ours. Flavour wise: Crisp and fresh with a sweet flavour. Heat wise: Stingy habanero heat. Surprisingly hot.
3 [3] Cheiro Roxa CAPSICUM CHINENSE
Cheiro Roxa is a stunning variety from Brazil. The plant grows great in a pot as well as in the ground to over a metre high. In between the dark foliage you will see these unique purple and peach coloured pods. Even the shape is stands out. This will be a pride in your pepper garden. The peppers give a great kick and you can use them dried or fresh in any cooking. Translucent colour change going from purple, pink and peach colour during ripening. We can only recommend this beauty. It is stunning with amazing translucent colours, great heat and flavour. One of our favourite chilli varieties and furthermore a great producer. Pods size: 2.5-3.0 cm wide and long. Flavour: Slightly sweet Chinense flavour without the earthy habanero taste. Heat level: Hot
4 [4] Black Thai TQ Pepper ‘STUNNING BLACK PODS’ CAPSICUM ANNUUM
We don’t know the origin of the Black Thai TQ, but we do know it is one of the most stunning looking chillies we have. We got the seeds years ago by our mate Chris in the US. This plant looks amazing. It grows well in a pot and even better in the ground. In a pot it grows to about a metre high and it a great producer of 10 – 12 cm long pods. The pods start off a deep black and stay black for ages till they turn a vibrant red. This is one of our absolute favourite chilli varieties and we are sure you will love it as well. It is breathtaking once it is packed with pods with both colours on it. Another bonus beside the look is the nice sweet and fresh flavour the pods have. Flavour wise: They have a slightly sweet, fresh and capsicum like flavour and it stays for a fair while. Heat wise: A nice mid heat. A chilli for everyone.

24 [2] Hangjiao 7 Super Nova ‘CHINESE SPACE CHILLI‘ CAPSICUM ANNUUM
In 1987 Jiang Xingcun, a scientist with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, discovered that sending vegetable seeds including chilli seeds into space exposing them to zero gravity increased the mutation rates by hundreds of times. This method resulted in increased size of the chillies and improved yield. The reason for the space programs were to find a solution on how to feed China’s growing population. Since that time, China has sent more than 400 plant seed species to space. Hangjiao 7 Super Nova is another awesome chilli variety, that has spend time in zero gravity. It grows to about 50-60 cm in a pot. The chillies are huge, up to 20 cm long and 1-1.5 cm wide. Some are straight, but most of them are twisted.

The pods are 3-3.5 cm long and 1.5 cm in diameter end up orange in colour, when they are ripe. The Urubu chilli would be great for cooking, because of the well balanced heat.
