Peppers - Why variety is always important.
« on: June 06, 2010, 15:47 »
These 3 plants we planted the same day, kept in the same conditions and treated exactly the same (badly) .

You can see they have grown a different rates, and have completely different habits.  Its handy for us to know what you're growing to answer any questions. If my rocoto was 6 inches high Id be concerned, but its normal demon red. I might pinch out my naga but I certainly wouldn't pinch out the demon red.

FWIW .

1. Rocoto - 4-5' final / 2 - 3 main stems .
2. Demon Red - 18" final / bushy.
3. Naga Monrich - 3ft final / 5-6 main stems.

That is quite a difference isn't it.  Just shows you that even the same veg/fruit can be quite different when you consider the variety.

Stop laughing at my peppers Yabba (I can hear you from here)  :D Its been a difficult year.

Lemon drops grow in a leggy manner as well ;)

Thats an oxymoron this year "Lemon Drop" and "Grow". Next time Im out there I'll grab a picture of my over wintered one - its shocking.
