One of the things I've enjoyed about growing chillies over the past couple of years, is watching the ripening process.

These hot ones going green-yellow-orange-red, often all on the same pod. Lovely.

Very pretty, little traffic light pepper there, Garp.
I decided not to freeze my first batch of habaneros, opting to dry them in my dehydrator that I use to make jerky.

Well the end of the season came.  Right into mid November before I got my final harvest of poblano, habanero and Thai chilies.


Put the final bunch of Habs in the smoker for a few hours.


Then finished them off to full

Well I've had to move some of my babies out of the 43.4 'C November sun. (Hotter tomorrow apparently). Here are a few pics of the first to start producing.  I'm in discussion with my seed supplier as I'm positive that one plant from the Rajah pack is not Rajah.  It could be Purple Naga Jolokia or a cross but it isn't a Rajah. 

I'm not complaining but I'd like to know what happened.  When you buy a pack of specific seed variety you expect to get that.  400 m is the recommended distance to prevent cross pollination.

These purples will turn red when they ripen, or so I'm led to believe.  I have only just sent these pics to my seed supplier to see what he says.
Purple Naga Jolokia is a variety he sells.

A good season for 2020 despite everything else.  There

Thanks. If it's an F1 hybrid, then there is a big chance that some of the seeds will revert back to one of their original plants.

The African is F1. Not sure about the Aussie which says it originates from india.  The plant I have that is different has a completely different pod shape. The Rajah is green, long and thin with a point (Cayenne) and has white flowers while the unknown is purple, fatter and more blunt with purple flowers.

My suspicion is a misplaced seed in the Rajah pack and this would be my guess.
