Hot pepper

[WillyCKH]

Never heard of eating pepper leaves. What do they taste like?

They have a mild peppery flavour, it's hard to describe but very tasty. You'd want to remove the tough parts first, and then you can stir fry or steam them. The leaves are quite nutritious too.

Thank goodness the weather stays relatively warm, a few more reapers made it! Mother nature please keep up with the warm weather

Love it! I’m all about the spicy pepper plants this time of year. This was my haul last year. One plant of each variety produced all this!

I received a nice lot of seeds from my co-workers last fall when I retired.

Looking forward to the fruit they produce.

I'm just eating my late 2016 pickles with a home grown Aji Lemon in each bottle. Delicious aged garlic dill pickles with a nice hot bite.

The first picture: could be Trinidad butch, Naga viper or Carolina reaper... Deadly hot !

The size and shape in the second picture looks wrong for a Naga viper or Carolina reaper, as they are more 'knobbly' see photo below, which are a mix of Bhut Jalokia, Naga and Carolina Reaper (banana for scale). Not sure what that one is though.

Cheers

Could it be just some kind of hotter habanero or scotch bonnet?
The pepper that was ‘very-very’ hot spent several weeks on a counter, today we tried the freshly picked one. It still was very hot but milder then the first one.
Both pic are of the same plant.

This is my Trinidad butch. Does it look similar to your ?

The shape is somewhat different.
You have a nice plant.

Thanks for the recommend(?) Lloyd. I ended up buying a bunch of their pepper seeds and a several of their tomato seeds, in hopes of setting up a nice little garden for my dad in Southern California, as like a Christmas present sort of thing. The goal was to get enough plants set up and going that even with my dad's expected level of neglect and frequent travel, he'd still be able to get something nice from the garden. To that end, I also started bunch of basil and marigold seeds acquired elsewhere, in hopes of keeping the tomato worms away. I hate those things so, so much.

Anyway, Scoville Canada sent me a couple extra sets of pepper seeds as freebies, so that was nice of them. At this point, I think literally all of the fancy tomato seeds have germinated, and many/most of the fancy pepper seeds as well, though the pepper seeds are still kind-of straggling in one by one. Overall good experience, would recommend.

Let me know how the tomatoes turn out. I may buy from them for next year.
