I was finally able to cross pollinate two pepper varieties! They are:

  • yellow bell pepper - just some market variety.
  • dedo-de-moça - Capsicum baccatum, red, 5k~15k Scoville heat units (hotter than a jalapeño, milder than a cayenne), great flavour.

I want the breed to be: yellow, large, mild but not heatless, finger-shaped. And hopefully more resistant to insects than bell peppers are.

In the meantime I'm still waiting for my chocolate-coloured habanero to grow flowers, so I can cross-breed it. Likely with dedo-de-moça too, I like the shape.

May the pepper gods bless you with bountiful harvest!

Wow, for some people (me included) it's hard enough to even keep a plant alive. Cross breeding them is next level

You can cross-pollinate plants by using a little paintbrush to catch and move the pollen.

Work has been chaotic this week so the days have been late so far, but I did have time last night to make strawberry muffins with a streusel topping.

On Sunday I reported my tiny plant collection so I could bring a couple of them to my desk at work.

[–] SteelCoffee@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Those muffins sound delicious!

[–] CephaloSquad@discuss.online 2 points 4 months ago

They were! Though its a little to early in the season for strawberries I guess, the strawberry wasnt as flavorful as I would have liked. Next time though!
