REDTAIL's 2015

After a miserable growing season last year, we're hoping 2015 is another great season for Red Hawk Premium Peppers!!! I didn't do much of a grow log last year, so I'll try to make up for it this year.

Lots of Carolina Reapers popping for 2015

 
Rocotos were some of the first to pop this year!

 
Habaneros from the Galapagos Island and a couple other oddball varieties!

So thankful my only Capsicum flexuosum was spared by the frost!
 

 

[Portuge]

Love it when they survive the coldness...

 

[RedtailForester]

It has been a week since all these plants were almost completely defoliated. Most are recovering nicely.

Yay! Most of mine are still in the greenhouse. Still has been too wet to plant here - and cold but not frost-like cold. 2015 shall henceforth be known as the toughest season for child-growing in quite some time!

 

[RedtailForester]

One of the many reasons to grow wild varieties. 
 
THEY LOOK COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!

 

[RedtailForester]

Same plant starting to put out pods.

I think that little frost episode just might DOUBLE your yield this year Dan.
 
Here's to hoping so.

Great Wild's Dan ... after the frost the Phoenix has risen ... let's hope your grow is back on track

Things look great. Plants seem to look better since frost

Honestly, I'm amazed how well some of the frost damaged plants have recovered. I'm going to try to snap some pics of them later today.

Knee high by the Fourth of July..........CHECK!

 
Most of the beds are filling in nicely despite the frost damage

 

[Trippa]

Looking mighty healthy there Dan... Can't believe they are the same plants that got Mauled by that frost only a few short weeks ago ... Best of continuing luck ... Keep on growing...
Cheers Trippa

Plants looking great. Nice recovery. I'm going to have to go and check your website for goodies. The last sauce I bought from you was fantastic.

Thanks for sharing

Good looking crop, Dan. Y'ever seen a chilhuacle negro? I thought I saw one in your garden, maybe...

 

[muskymojo]

Looking good my friend!

I had no doubt in my mind. I have successfully pruned and overwintered several plants after a fall frost that kills off all the foliage.

 

[RedtailForester]

Thanks for looking everyone!

Actually, now that you mention it........I have one podding up right now!
 
               

 

[RedtailForester]

HOLY CRAP!!!!! I was just outside doing some weeding and found a couple of these f**kers! I think this little bastard even growled at me!?
 
Does anyone have an effective natural control for green Junebugs???
