First of all, hello to all my spicy buddies around the world. I hope all of
you are enjoying the grilling season--using plenty of healthy and tasty heat
in your cooking.
I have a question about my potted chile plants: Why are my Thai plants
producing more fruit (that is ripening faster) than either my banana pepper,
Anaheim or habanero plants?
Consider this: all plants have been grown under the same weather conditions.
Here in Michigan, we had a great deal of late spring rain. However, the
last five or six weeks have been fairly dry. I do water the plants on a
daily basis; all foliage appears to be happy and healthy.
I do know that habs take longer to grow than other peppers. However, I do
feel that I should be seeing more action from the banana and Anaheim pepper
plants.
Looks like there will be lots of stir fry with Thai peppers at the Dog
House. WOOF!
