Latin: Capsicum Annuum
Swedish: Chilipeppar 'Piment d'Espelette'
English: Chili 'Piment d'Espelette'
We planted four of these guys a lot of time ago, on the 27/2-2011. Though, only two plants actually made it to "grown stage". Unclear why, but well: it seems these two will pretty much cover our needs for chili for the next 5 years to come (not because of the high production but rather low usage).
They looked pretty small for a very long time. Following instructions is not always the best way to go. Those recommended to put them in a cool place, which we did, but for that reason, they stayed small for months.
Moving them back into our warm house again, made them start to grow. Shortly ago, they have also started to flower.
The flowers do not look like much and are rather difficult to spot, but under scrutiny, I personally think they look rather sweet.
In order to get chili we understood we were forced to pollinate the flowers, so we have done some "touching work". And that has given results - two so far to be specific...
And surprise: have been able to spot those two guys. We very happy. Last time we got a chili plant to take care of we killed it within 1 week time... so this is really going over expectations.
31/7 - Head count for chili fruits gave at least 8, some of which rather large and some very small. But there are at least 4-5 new flowers. All chilis are still very grey and do not look anything like "ripe" chilis yet.
Producer's Description
This sort is ideal for outdoor cultivation. Fruits rich in vitamine can be used fresh, dried or deep frozen. It is possible to mix the chilis to chili powder. It is good for one's well-being. Remove the hot seeds before eating. It requires heat, but it can be grown in a pot on the patio, on the balcony or in the greenhouse. Water and fertilize regularly.
Producer's Instructions
Sow sparsely on moist sowing soil. Cover with a thin layer of soil. Keep most at 20-22 degrees and cover with plastic foil. After they have grown, keep them in a light and chilly place... :) Plant them in pots separately when the plans are around 5cm tall. They may be planted outside when night temperature is over 8 degrees.
Planting: January through March
Fruits: July through the beginning of October
Plant at 0,5cm depth with a distance to other plants of 40cm in all directions
