Bulgarian Carrot

Those sure do look nice!

[Shawn]

The Carrot is seems slow going.

[Shawn]

I just trimmed all the large leaves and some old looking ones.  Maybe this will help generate it.

[drbanks]

Your pepper plants always look so healthy!

[Shawn]

Thanks.  I also have a tendency to hack them as well .. meaning I take leaves off more the the average person.

[Shawn]

These are so sloooowwww. I keep having buds fall off.  I have no clue why.  It does have new peppers but is not producing as many as I would have thought. 

exactly why peppers is my least favorite project to grow in my machines..I have no patience at all. The key to being a pepper fan is to have tons of projects going at the same time.

I agree.  

That's certainly my approach 

[drbanks]

And yes, I agree.  This one feels like it's going in slow motion.

[Shawn]

This one has until November 1st to do something ....  

It is not living up to its description.  The peppers are not the sizes they should be.  The 60-70 days is off also as it is now 93 days and no coloring.

[Shawn]

There MIGHT be light at the end of this long tunnel.  There is one pepper that looks like it is lightening up at the bottom tip.  Time will tell.  More if I see it actually doing that.

[Shawn]

Here is the one Carrot that is beginning to change color.   The flash has it looking more yellow but there is a hint of a yellowy orange tint to it.

[MaryL]

That has to be slightly encouraging - finally!

[Shawn]

There are a few new buds and flowers on this plant.  I am hoping by the end of next week the one changing carrot will be ready for a taste test.

[drbanks]

Are you going to do the taste test, or leave that to your hubbie?

We both taste it but ever since I had radiation treatment from the cancer my taste can be off and it also killed some of my taste buds.  That is why I always ask Mark to give the review.  

[MaryL]

That’s such a lousy side effect.  

[Shawn]

Well the first Carrot is ready.






Please see Mark's review below: Mark said (after video stopped) that it would be good in chili, sauces, stews and even pickling with the thick skin.

Once all was settled and done he really enjoyed this pepper. While he said it was a painful heat in the video after he finished the pepper he was wondering if there was another ready LOL... but there is not yet.
