I bought already 2 and started to try it with my daughter.
Nice flowers you get here.

 

[Hera]

That 's pretty cool. I never had given a thought as to how they would flower. Thanks for posting.

i assume it will need lots of water while developing the 'fruit'.

 

[Yoyo_Jo]

Cool!

[SlipperFan]

let it dry out a lil bit first

let it dry out a lil bit first

do you mean dry off the end/part that was just removed from fruit? it's getting a little along and dry in general since i've had it a week or so, ripening. I was going to ask before if it was better for rooting, to twist off the top as soon as I buy the fruit; when I wait for the fruit to get riper I see that the top starts dying back and falls apart after a week or so

Wow, so cool! Let us know how it tastes...

Maybe he'll bring it to eat at the NYC event! oke:

Too soon! It's not even the size of a tennis ball yet.....By the way, Eric....just planted seeds today of Trinidad Moruga...the official hottest pepper in the world...2 MILLION su!

 

[cnycharles]

that's pretty warm... by the way, do you want some all-blue seed potatoes? I have a small amount of marble-sized ones just starting to sprout

 

[Eric Muehlbauer]

Sure! I have some purple ones too.

 

[The Orchid Boy]

I love the blue and purple potatoes. I'm growing white tomatoes and purple tomatillos this year. Where do you get the pepper seeds?

Yay! Hopefully I can get some paintball kids to eat these and film the reactions! :evil:

I got them on Ebay. The grower claims he introduced it...seems good. I'll know when I harvest them.
