Julie's 2014 Glog

Starting a glog mostly for my own purposes. I've been growing peppers for 2-3 years, so I'm still learning, but this is my first year of recording/tracking in a glog. 
 
Hubby and I planted on January 4th 2014. I'm keeping record best as I can as things sprout.
 
Here's what we put out:
2/3 Cayenne Purple
0/3 Jalapeno Red
2/3 Jalapeno Purple
3/3 Bulgarian Carrot
3/3 Peter Pepper
2/3 Habanero Chocolate
2/3 Aji Crystal
2/3 Devil’s Tongue White
1/2 Monkey Face - sprouted but had a casualty :(
0/2 CNG21500
2/2 Jamaican Hot Chocolate
0/2 Aribibi Gusano
2/2 Habanero Long Peach
0/2 Trinidad Scorpion
5/5 Bhut Jolokia
1/6 Cayenne Red
0/1 Mystery
 
The 'Mystery' pepper was a random seed that feel out of a packet while we were seeding. The Bhut Jolokia and Cayenne Red were seeds I attempted to save from last season; we'll see if they sprout. We like using the jiffy pellets for the convinience, but also tried some egg cartons with medium once we ran out of the pellets. None of the stores carry them just yet; we're in full blown winter wonderland here in Canada. We also have 4 overwintered plants that seem to be doing well so far. A cayenne red, Jalapeno, and 2 Bhut Jolokia.
 
Many thanks to Hendrix1326 for sharing some of his seeds; very excited to try these varieties.
 
This year, we have a 5 tier rack that we're hoping to use. We mounted a few lights, but we'll need to add more. Shelves are adjustable, so that will come in handy.
 
Here's our little buddies as of this morning:

More as of January 19 2014
2/2 Golden California Wonder
2/2 Monster Bell
1/2 Aribibi Gusano
0/2 CNG21500
1/2 Trinidad Scorpion Yellow
1/2 Moruga Scorpion Red
0/3 Datil
2/2 Kori Sitakame
1/1 Jamaican Hot Chocolate
 
On another note, my Peter Pepper plant (can't remember if there's just one or two) got really big, but no flowers, and no pods, nada, nothing. It's out in the garden with the others, and it's the only one to show this behavior. I've had plants before give minimal pods, but those were small.
 
And I'm tired of playing frost warning chicken so I picked everything over the weekend and brought the pots indoors to figure out what I am doing with those.
 
I made more pickles with most non-super hots and will probably dry the super hots.
 
Shame most pods didn't make it to ripe :(
