That's a good idea to pick the tomatoes early- it seems that everything wants to eat them when they get ripe.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00193278804750154921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-23614770298974658262016-09-26T23:53:25.176+01:002016-09-26T23:53:25.176+01:00Interesting selection of peppers, many I have neve...Interesting selection of peppers, many I have never heard of. Like the rocoto, that was new for me. They are not well known in the US and only a few specialty vendors carry them, and no one the Alberto. Looks like some of the varieties in Europe got there through Spain and the Canary Islands, while for the US it was Mexico and the Caribbean, so different varieties from different parts of South America.David Veltenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07710293718143454000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-52328626465454371702016-09-26T19:31:09.247+01:002016-09-26T19:31:09.247+01:00No, I saw no evidence of slug damage.

Do you think the mushy ones were following slug damage perhaps?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-14999876647969685432016-09-26T17:02:01.146+01:002016-09-26T17:02:01.146+01:00Lovely chilis.

It really varies from one variety of tomato to another, some I prefer fully ripe.
