Terminated 3/20/2020 - Orange You in the Mood for Peppers

[Shawn]

A green pepper from one of the plants (do not know which one) fell off and Mark tried it.  He said while a little grassy it is still good.  SO looking forward to these sweet peppers.  I need to get a picture.

[Shawn]

Mooch Added. Next week will be a R&R.

[Shawn]

I spot color changing on the Just Sweets.

[Shawn]

I harvested a few of the orange Just Sweets peppers.  These are SO good.  I asked Mark fir his review and it is as follows:

Nice thick flesh. Minimal seeds.  Nice crunch.  Sweet with a light floral undertone.  A Keeper!  (ps No Heat at all)

Great review..thanks Mark!

For me, in the end, taste reviews are just as valuable as photos.

[Shawn]

Here are pictures of the Just Sweets and the second is a picture of a Tangerine Dream beginning to change colors.

Those are terrific.

[Shawn]

Thanks mike. 

[Shawn]

I took pictures and as soon as my phone charges I will get them uploaded.  The Tangerine Dreams are starting to change colors and I hope to taste them soon.  The Just Sweets are so good I will be growing these again.

[Shawn]

I just snipped off two of the Tangerine Dreams so I can get a taste review from Mark.  I tasted one and for anyone wanting to grow these they have a small kick of heat to them.  More then I expected. 

Review to follow.

[Shawn]

The Tangerine Dreams are a beautiful Deep Orange.

Mark's Assessment of them are:  minimal seeds, nice flesh thickness and has a nice little kick to them. These would be great for salads or pickling.

[Shawn]

I ended just the Tangerine Dreams.  While Mark really liked them, the ones that are orange are all on the smaller side.  There are a few large ones but most are small.  I rather use the real estate for something else.  The Just Sweets are staying as I really like them.  

I  MIGHT put my one tomato plant in here, still deciding.

More if and when something happens.

I was just reminiscing about last summer's Tangerine Dreams... I grew them in a stock tank with basil and tomatoes. They were tasty and prolific outside.


I saved cuttings (but I didn't reliably label them) and I have them rooting in my Harvest (with 3 other pepper cuttings). They didn't root in coco coir in my greenhouse in 2 months, but they didn't die. They have new growth but no visible roots. The plan is to move them to soil when they root then into the garden (February 15th is my 8 week seed start date!!!)

Outside they were 18-24 inches high and about 18" around. I have 2 gallon bags of washed and seeded peppers from this plant in my freezer.

[Shawn]

I have many green (although you cannot see them all) and a yellow.   Once this batch it over I may end to start something new.

[Jay]

I just had a fellow gardener ask me if I still had tangerine dream seeds. It made my mouth water thinking about it!

[Sher]

Now I am itching to try some different kinds of peppers.

I need more Bounties.  This forum is bad for me!

These Just Sweets are giving us so many yummy peppers.  Waiting for another batch to turn.

[Sher]

I have a severe case of pepper envy! 

[Shawn]

You will be growing peppers soon enough
