Resubscribing after a long absence...


Has anyone done any experiments with grafting?  I have a couple of big
healthy rocoto plants that are proving to be perennial in Melbourne, and
I thought it might be interesting to try grafting on some other
perennial species, such as C. baccatum (eg. Aji Amarillo).  Someone has
suggested to me to try grafted tomato or eggplant root stock, which I
might have a go at.


I will soon be planting out seedlings of:

Yellow Jalapeno
Figaro Italiano (thanks, Margaret!)
Aji Escabeche (baccatum?)
Tabiche
Arledge Louisiana Hot
Aji Cuerno de Toro (baccatum?)

(chinenses are not really worth the effort down here without a
greenhouse, in case anyone is wondering)


Does anyone know anything about the origin of Tabiche?  I have grown it
before.  It is an interesting annuum with hot thin shelled fruit that
ripen through green and black to red, about the size and shape of Santa
Fe Grande, darkish hairy stems and leaves.  Good driers.
