Branching Out
Deeply Rooted
Recently I swapped seeds with another enthusiastic gardener in our area, and she gifted me seeds of three kinds of peppers that are all new to me: Marconi, Sheep Nose, and Arapaho. Today I will start pre-sprouting them-- but she also brought me seedlings of each variety, which is amazing. I ordered a couple of other new varieties this year, including Pumpkin Spice Jalapeno. It is from a breeding project that began in 1995 at New Mexico State University; this cross has a bell pepper and a jalapeno pepper as its parents.
Does anyone else have exciting developments on the pepper front for 2024??![Hot pepper :hot_pepper: 🌶️](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f336.png)
