Miss Dewi,
My Bishop's Crowns took a LONG time to ripen! For next year, because
I love the things, I'm trying an experiment. Two weeks ago I took a 6
" cutting from the tip of a branch, dipped it in rooting hormone, and
planted it in a pot, putting it in my southern facing window.
Hopefully, next May it will be flowering and making peppers early,
like my other pepper plants that winter indoors. If I had room
inside, I would have dug up the whole plant, repotted it, cut it
back, and watered it enough to keep it alive until next spring.
The Bishop's Crowns are interesting...some are not hot at all; others
are about 3/10 on the heat scale. I use them as eating peppers, not
seasoning peppers. Last night I cut a bunch of them in half, took out
the seeds, and sauted them with onion & garlic. Yum.
