Two Peppers Bounty bis (08/29/2017) ** Term 05/05/2018

And Craig's Grande are looking a bit more Grande, but still no larger than what I get out of my year old AG Mini-Jalapeno.

The right hand plant, the Craig's Jalapeno Grande, has fruit that isn't longer than any other jalapenos I've grown, but they continue to get fatter and fatter.  So, I guess that's the definition of Grande.

The left hand plant, the mystery peppers, are continuing to look like Bulgarian Carrots waiting to turn orange.  As if to support mike's thesis that peppers grow better in a Bounty, it's worth noting that they've been growing a lot faster than my GAL Bulgarians that I have growing in my Ultra.  So, I guess the 50% more powerful light hood does indeed make a difference.

Mystery solved.  And also a good example of the stronger lights of the Bounty.

Right hand plant, Craig's Jalapeno Grande, looking pretty promising:

Id say ready for picking

I’d go the salsa route. Both Mike and Shawn make lots of salsas.  Or hot sauces, depending on which texture you prefer.

I love the fact that the Bulgarian has a greater fruitiness alongside the heat.  But remind me from your other Bulgarian garden, what did you say about the heat level in comparison to a jalapeño?

Harvested a half dozen carrots and used them to make some salsa for the office.  Simple recipe: chopped onions, green peppers, cilantro, Bulgarian carrots, olive oil, vinegar, oven roasted vine tomatoes (smaller than regular, bigger than cherry or grape), tomato paste to thicken, salt, pepper.

It's still pretty raw, but the fruitiness of the Bulgarian carrots works perfectly against the tomatoes.

I'd like to say that I used home grown cilantro, but the quantity I wanted would have denuded my plants, so I bought a bunch at the store.

I am REALLY liking this variety of pepper.

That darn Carrot, just has to get in the picture LOL
