I was finally able to cross pollinate two pepper varieties! They are:
- yellow bell pepper - just some market variety.
- dedo-de-moça - Capsicum baccatum, red, 5k~15k Scoville heat units (hotter than a jalapeño, milder than a cayenne), great flavour.
I want the breed to be: yellow, large, mild but not heatless, finger-shaped. And hopefully more resistant to insects than bell peppers are.
In the meantime I’m still waiting for my chocolate-coloured habanero to grow flowers, so I can cross-breed it. Likely with dedo-de-moça too, I like the shape.
May the pepper gods bless you with bountiful harvest!
Wow, for some people (me included) it’s hard enough to even keep a plant alive. Cross breeding them is next level
You can cross-pollinate plants by using a little paintbrush to catch and move the pollen.
I finish this ! It was soooo long !Looks beautiful! Looks like a granny version of what the Romans used to wear for battle
Ahahaha my husband says exactly the same thing ! 🤣
I build mods for a multiplayer survival game, I finished one of those today.
watched a series, you?
Work has been chaotic this week so the days have been late so far, but I did have time last night to make strawberry muffins with a streusel topping.
On Sunday I reported my tiny plant collection so I could bring a couple of them to my desk at work.
Those muffins sound delicious!
They were! Though its a little to early in the season for strawberries I guess, the strawberry wasnt as flavorful as I would have liked. Next time though!
