I did the cross pollination by hand over the winter and saved the seeds that grew from that pepper.

Then I planted the seeds and grew out 8 F1 plants. This is the first one growing pods thanks to a visit from some local deer which set them back.

      Gotta taste it first to really know.

        I’m both looking forward to and dreading tasting this once it ripens.

        There will be several factors in choosing which F1 plant to go forward with, taste definitely being one of them.

        Also F2 could still look very different so it’s probably best to wait before naming.

      Cerebral Specter!

      I just want to say how impressive it is that you did all of that. I can’t even keep Trader Joe’s Basil plants alive for more than a few days.

        Thank you! I’ve definitely killed my fair share of plants. The trick is to keep trying 🙂
