Thankful for pepper season going strong still for my Datils.
Been battling a disease all season (rip calabrians) but these two year old plants are still producing.

Awesome! What zone are you in?
I’m in so cal, and while I did pull some of my plants last month (they weren’t recovering from a gnarly heat wave in September), I’ve still got a ton of peppers on my sugar rush peach plant and several other plants still producing a handful.

I love Datils! it’s nice to see someone growing what is thought to be the original cultivar, and not what a major seed supplier labeled as Datil. Only drawback for me is that their shelf life when ripe isn’t long enough for proper fresh-eating (they start to degrade about a week after picking, much quicker than nearly every other variety I’ve grown over the years).
