I don't post to the list often, preferring to lurk in the shadows and listen
to the wisdom of my betters (I am humbled by the knowledge and capsicum
tolerance of the list members) hoping to learn a little something. Couldn't
help myself, this time. I, too, have a few of the Indian PC-1 plants from
Reimer Seeds. Out of forty or so seeds I got about 50% germination and
about 50% of those survived the fungus attacks and the day when I forgot to
bring them in out of the hot Alabama sunshine. Many of the little plants
were more sunburned than I was that day.
I shared all but 4 of the remaining plants with friends. Those 4 are doing
well, no fruit has been set, not even any blooms. But the plants look
healthier than my Savinas, Mushroom Yellows..... everything, in fact, except
the Cayennes and Habs I bought from a comercial nursery.
If I get any production out of them I'll come back out of the cave in a few
months to report to the list any comparisons I make.
Back to the shadows for now
