BigPapaPepper's 2013 2nd Year Grow

I have just finished putting plants in to my newly built raised beds for my 2013 growing season. These are mainly starter plants that i bought online from John Ford or at the herb festival from Smoking J's Fiery Foods. I have a quick glog video to show where things are going. I have a different house from last season that gets better sun so I should have better results! I will have many more plants going into pots as they mature. Hopefully i will get a ton of Reapers by the end of the season! Thanks for looking :)
 
EDIT:
Wanted to add the pepper varieties i am growing and who they came from to support the great people on THP as well as other chile heads and vendors that got me into growing and eating these wonderful different peppers!

Nice raised beds! I'm looking to do something very similar when I move in October.
 
Thanks for the compliments! Making the raised beds was lots of fun and much easier than I thought originally. I did most of my super hot plants in buckets last year. I think the plants will thrive in the beds! This new house has all kinds of beds around it. They will all have peppers everywhere by the time the season is over. I am putting a list below of what I am attempting to grow this year :)

Peppers: jalapeño, purple jalapeño, Bell varieties, douglah, tmudder douglah cross, infinity, scotch bonnet, Brown 7pot, 7pot jonah, brain strain, yellow 7pot, Carolina reaper, chocolate ghost, chocolate fatalii, fidalga roxa, black Pearl, giant Marconi, moruga satan, purple naga, monster naga, mustard habanero, giant white habanero, Tabasco, butch t, chocolate habanero, aji pineapple, and jamaican hot chocolate.

Tomatoes: purple Cherokee, Arizona pink, black krim, black from tula, Roman candle, Mr stripey, Green zebra, yellow pear, red pear, and big Rainbow

Other: winter squash, watermelon
 
I believe the Yellow 7 Seeds are from Cappy down at the brain strain factory! However, the Tmudder Douglah X came from you :) I cant wait to try that one!
 
Here is a quick garden update after the frost advisory this morning. It got below 40 but i dont believe the moisture was right for it thank goodness. Everything is coming along nice!

i know the frost is nuts!  It is finally over though thank goodness.  I took a couple closeups of the seedlings i have going. I will line the front garden with black pearl, decorate a structure in the front yard with the Piri Piri and Fidalga Roxa, and then  grow about 20 of the different superhots in different sized containers.  I want to find the most efficient way!  More pics to come.  The fertilizer i am using is making these guys grow like the hulk haha.

2 of my cool tomatoe plants.  I am trying them out in containers this year to see the difference between that and putting them in the ground.  White Queen (Left) and Mortgage Lifter (Right)

The beds are 3x6 but if I could go back I would do 4x8. The beds will be slightly over crowded but should still work well! I will definitely be eating one for the finals. I may do it sooner ha ha. I have a chocolate ghost in the freezer from last season! The pacers scared the heat last year in the second round. That was when I ate my first pod, the yellow 7! Nothing prepares you fur the first pod you eat. Took my breath away and turned me pale
 
Cool man! You'll be fine with them in there! Plus you have 392 plants on the porch haha! Looking good!
 
Things are still going well.  I totally killed a couple plants.  Not sure exactly what happened but they just dropped all their leaves and died.  Others are doing very well though so good thing i grew plenty :)
 
Seedlings. Some ready for repotting!
