Terminated 1/4/18 ~ Pepper Elite (7/7/17)

[Shawn]

 I have plenty of that too!

[MaryL]

Your stuffed little peppers looked great, Shawn!  Tasty I’m sure.  These look ideal for stuffing for snacks or lunchbox.  Maybe even roasting with cheese and stuff.

[Shawn]

I am waiting for more to grow.  These were so good.  Maybe I will roast next time, if I can hold out.

Cubanelle Review:

This pepper has a medium thick flesh and not too many seeds for the size of the pepper.  It is sweet with a hint of tartness.  Would be good in stir-frys or salads.  This one was pretty true to the description with the description of flesh and for sizing most of the peppers are about 3-4" long.


I will be using these with my next stir fry along with hot peppers... unless I put them in a salad first.

[Shawn]

I picked the last of the Sheeps yesterday and stuffed them with Chicken Salad.  YUM!!!  Now I am awaiting the new ones to grow so I can eat more. 

My Cubanelles all all turning red.  I have picked a few to put in with Marks lunch.  Yesterday I fried two up and they were really good and put them on my chicken.

You really have me anxious for my Sheepnose to come up. Great taste testing on both varieties.

[MaryL]

Great review, Shawn. I imagine cooking up the cubanelles intensified the sugars a bit. 

[Shawn]

I have more sheep flowersd growing but only one more Cubanelle on the plant.  There is a flower too.  I may end the Cubanelle once this last one turns red.  Depending on if I see more Sheeps producing I may end that one too.  If so, I will need to figure out what to plant next.

[MaryL]

Ruminating on what to do next can be so much of the fun .

[Shawn]

Although I went haywire trimming the Sheepnose, it has a lot of flowers and peppers forming again.

These things are dead set and determined to grow.

On my year old Jalapeno plant, after a harvest, I'll cut off entire branches - thick branches - and three days later, I see new branch sprouts growing out of the former site.

[MaryL]

That’s exciting, Shawn. I see lots of new growth, too.

so...are you all set for another harvest for this plant? It would be exciting to see what it producces second time around!

[Shawn]

Yes, I am going to see what happens.  

[MaryL]

[Shawn]

I am giving these two plants another 2 weeks tops.  If no peppers form then I will terminate and start anew.

The Sheeps have TONS of flowers and the Cubanelles have one flower, several buds and one teenie weenie pepper.

[Shawn]

Nothing much happening.  The Cubanells have a ton of flowers as does the Sheeps.  Only a couple tiny peppers still shown.  I am watching to see if there is any growth.  If not I will terminate both and start fresh next week.

As with your project here, my projects are going well ,BUT there is no notable progress to snap or relate.
I guess that is a good thing if they are growing nicely, and are not failing or becoming an epic fail!

[Shawn]

Cubanelles are growing again!  

The Sheeps have tons of flowers but some are falling.  I have to take a good look at it to see if there are peppers.

[MaryL]

Yay!
