I was noticing progress of my peppers today, especially the Santaka. I grew these from seed and planted them too early this Spring. I had six plants growing inside and with one plant surviving the move to the garden outside. However, this one plant is bearing a lot of fruits. This is my first experience with Santaka, which supposedly has a Scoville Heat Units (SHU) of 50,000 (essentially the same as cayenne, but 20 times that of Jalapeño and 50 times that of Peppadew).
Capsicum annuum. Open Pollinated. Plant produces good yields of 2 ½" long by ½" wide hot peppers. Peppers grow upright in clusters and turn from green to bright red when mature. Plant has green stems, green leaves, and white flowers. A variety from Japan. They are cone-shaped, bright red when mature, and the skin is thin and wrinkled.

The peppadew and bell peppers are also doing well. I have two peppadew plants and three bell pepper plants.
