Lunch break used to ponder chilli seeds.

I need to get some into dirt soonish.

I don't rush into this too much as I don't really think there's that big a difference between chillies germinated on 1st Jan vs 1st Feb with my climate and facilities. (May differ if you have ideal indoor growing conditions and time and organisation for a very responsive potting-on riegeme!)

The photo shows the seed pool I will pull from — almost all from Chilli Chump and Fatalii, plus Padrons from Nikki's. (I have other packets from some other suppliers but they're all "retired".)

The ones left of centre are previous years, the ones to the right are new supply for this year (except the far-right, wich are older).

Trying to limit to under 20 varieties. It is hard!

(Upside down bottom-centre did not grow true to type across multiple plants, but they were a highly prolific med-low heat red chilli that made great flakes, so not counted out yet, lots to pick from tho!)

There's a kind of chile that is either called a pasilla or a poblano depending on who you ask. Pasilla is more common but my family always said poblano. The grocery I shop at in rural Arizona has mostly moved to self checkout so I was ringing up my order and without thinking about it rang my chiles as poblanos. I guess no one ever updated the price on the poblano side because the two big chiles I got for lunch ended up costing 6¢.

In passing.

One can assume that Chiles, unfunny and a mediocre writer, but with the important distinction of being married to the editor, has been thinking about his own prose. And no I didn’t bother reading it (I’ve tried before), just posted the gripe.

I made a small batch of pickled nopales (cactus). So much better than store bought! I probably should have gone with serranos instead of jalapeños though. These don't have much heat. #food #cooking #nopales #peppers #chiles

*BIG* Pepper Thread 1/🧵

I grew over 29 varieties of peppers in 2025. This thread reviews growth/productivity, cold tolerance and gives an honest detailed description of taste (fresh, dried and how it blends with other ingredients when cooking).

I hope people will find it useful for reference.

A close-up of a white flowering plant against a clear blue sky, with green leaves visible in the foreground. The flower has five petals with yellow lacey nectar guide markings.

These markings distinguish this pepper as a baccatum species. The flower came from the Ají habanero.A woven basket filled with a colorful assortment of various types of peppers in different shapes, including red, orange, yellow, and black, resting on a bed of green grass.A collection of jars filled with various dried peppers, including ají panca, milder peppers, and a mix of others. The jars are labeled with their contents and arranged on a dark background.

The tiny jar on top of the larger ones isn’t labeled. It’s dried biquinho salmao.

Sofort nach Auszählung der Stimmen wollte José Antonio #Kast, der neu gewählte Präsident #Chiles, zeigen, wo seine Vorlieben liegen. Auf seiner ersten offiziellen Reise reiste er nach Buenos Aires, um den argentinischen Präsidenten Javier #Milei zu treffen, der ihm natürlich eine #Kettensäge überreichte. "Südamerika hat die Ideen der Freiheit geweckt", sagte der Argentinier.

¡Jeeebus! In a life full of questionable decisions, poping a straight chiltepin has got to be up there. I would describe it as a faintly chile flavored with a lingering painful burn. I'm crying and my nose is running... I'm having a hard time focusing on my phone. #chiles #peppers #pain

My wild chiltepins are starting to ripen! I'm sorta tempted to just pop one in my mouth... #gardening #chiles #peppers

Tiny red chiles rise above a leafy plant. They are perched menacingly at the top of thin stalks.

Aji Rojo jam! It ended up having a lot of red bell pepper because the aji peppers aren't very juicy. Either way, it tastes delicious and the leftovers in the pan are already setting. #food #chiles #peppers #preserving #cooking

We might actually see some freezing temps here. I'm going to have to harvest my aji rojo chiles and prune the plant back so I can bring it indoors. I've probably got a pound or two of these small red chilies. Aji Rojo isn't spicy but otherwise tastes like a habanero. They keep well but I'm not going to eat them all before they go bad. What should I do with them? #food #chiles #peppers #gardening #preserving

I'm holding a couple of aji rojo chiles. They look like tiny red pumpkins.

Per @opendemocracy.net ahead of #Chile’s pivotal election: Political scientist Juan Pablo Luna once said Chile's political system was a ‘hydroponic lettuce’: “From above, you see...it in Congress & on TV...but...there are no roots – it's floating in water” www.opendemocracy.net/en/chile-gen...

My wild chiltepin from cerro Fresnal down on the Arizona border is setting fruit! I can't wait to try them! With wild chiles, you never know what you're going to get but chiltepin are often quite spicy! #food #chiles #peppers #Arizona #gardening
