Hi all
I've just rejoined the list after a 5 year break, good
to be back!
I'm in the early stages of planning my crop for the
warmer months (mid-winter here) & many Australian seed
companies are offering a new variety they are calling
"matata." I was just wondering what I can expect, heat
& flavour wise from this variety, has anyone heard of
it?
Here's a pic & small description

Also, I want to try & grow some wild tepins, many
places are offering them, yet I've been told they have
generally been hybridised to lessen heat. Is there
anyone in Australia willing to spare me some
wild-strain tepin seeds? Unfortunately I have thrown
out most of my stores, but found some Bishops
Crown/Xmas Bells? seeds, Lombaks(I think, long wrinkly
sweet cayenne types from Asian grocer) and about 6
Caterina seeds(few years old) 2day I can swap. Just to
add, I'm also going to grow rocotos for the first
time, I think Adelaide weather will be perfect. Same
deal with rocotos, I am after the red variety, yet
fear I may get orange from a supplier, just like when
I was given orange habs instead of sativas. It'd be
great if anyone can help me out!
Cheers
Mick
