I’m a pepper lover, but i will most definitely not mess with this bugger, I will stick to our locally grown Motton pepper here on the beautiful island of Roatan.

Wow, 4 feet, I didn’t realize they get that tall, I’ll have to plant in the ground rather than the pot as I was originally thinking. My Trinidad is about 16 inches all, but its in the pot. The first crop of peppers were small and well developed.The second crop of peppers are much much larger and quite thin. They are just turning color now.

They stand about 4 feet high and because I read that sometimes they require some help pollinating, I gently do the job myself and not leave it up to the bees. I just ordered the Trinidad Scorpian, so we’ll see what happens with that one. In the mean time, we’ve created a blend of finely ground peppers that we call “Devil Dust”.

Yes, India has the Bhut Jolokia or “ghost pepper” – I think that is the 2nd hottest pepper in the world identified right now. I think I will try planting some seeds of the Bhut Jolokia as well soon 🙂
