A little chilli update

A lot of bell peppers take forever to ripen. New Ace F1 is probably the earliest ripening, I tend to get smallish fruit as I've only ever grown it in 10 L pots, but someone I follow on YouTube has them in the ground under cover and their fruit is a lovely size. King of the North is productive but slow to ripen.

Non-bell peppers I find more productive and earlier to fruit and ripen: this year we're trying Amy (squat, pointy yellow wax type) and Semaroh (ram's horn). I also quite like Mohawk F1, it's a dwarf plant which pumps out yellow mini-bells with a really nice sweet, fruity flavour. It's a hybrid but I've found somewhere selling a dehybridised version and and its red brother Redskin. Tangerine Dream has also been quite early and tasty (and slightly hot!). Sheep Nose is setting lots and lots of fruit. Next year I will try a variety from Belarus called Troyka.

Both were tasty, juicy and slightly sweet. I feel that, as can happen to tomatoes, the amount of rain and poor weather we've had may have diluted the flavour. We've got one of each plant in the greenhouse too so I should get a better idea of the flavour from them. 

The plants look absolutely knackered, it's like they've giving up growing and just put all the energy into ripening the fruit. The nearest is Amy, then Etiuda, then two Sweet Chocolate. The Maskotka tomatoes in the left hand bale are doing very well.
