My pepper garden

I'm growing at two different locations here in Cape Town, South Africa. The one location is about 70 peppers in the ground. The other location they are all in pots. Here are the ones I'm growing in pots:
 
This section has some seedlings of 7pot burgandy, yellow and red. On the top of the table you can see the Poblano, some herbs and at the back are seedlings of serrano and jalapeno. There is also a Maruga Scorpion in the foreground with fruit.
 
 

 
 
 
Here you can see the main Pobano and Pasilla area. Great for poppers. Some seedlings of 7pot and other habaneros.
There are two Maruga Scorpions in the foreground as well as a Naga Viper. Among these are two yellow peter peppers.
 

 
 
A big poblano and aji cito and Congo red and 7pot seedlings.
 

 
 
 
Aji Cito - One year old. Very nice flavor - fruity and mildly hot.
 


 
 
Another Aji Cito.

 
 
The hottest pepper I have ever tried. 
Maruga Scorpion - Blisteringly hot, even my gums hurt from eating them. My stomach also hurt a few hours later. Amazing color and a little bit fruity (but more heat than anything else) - incredible heat.
 

 

 
 
I suspect this is a Naga Viper as that is how the seeds were labelled. Could be a hybrid or something else as it does not look like the Nagas on the internet that I have seen. Incredibly hot like the Maruga, not many seeds in the pod - maybe one or two at most. This plant is one year old. 
 

 

 

 

 

I'll take some photos of the ones in the ground next week and upload them. The ones in the ground are mostly mild ones such as Jalapeno and Poblanos. A few of the super hots as well.
 
Thank-you. The smaller ones should begin flowering in a month and then by Feb I should see the fruit of the 7pots and the brain strains. I am looking forward to trying the yellow brain strain 7pot.
 
I see you from Oudshoorn - great to see more South Africans into peppers. 
 
That's cool,its my first year growing..I messed up a bit so I don't think I'll
be getting much harvest this year.
I also grow 7pod yellow brains,7pod red,brow habs and a whole others.
I also got over 300 7pod bubblegum seeds for next year,I won't be growing all of the seeds since
I have limited space,so if don't have 7pod bubblegums and you wana trade some
just let me know :)

Yes,there are some,try looking for PeriPeri,he's real awesome.
He has a MASSIVE grow,seriously huge grow.
So go check his glog :P
 
Sounds like a great selection you have! I have some 7pots but they are still quite small - hopefully they produce some fruits in the next month. I'll repot them and give them some good fertilizer and see how it goes.
 
I have never heard of this 7pot bubblegum. I just googled it and it looks awesome with the red stem part. Amazing variety. I would love to try growing some of those. Thanks. I imagine it to be about as hot as the Moruga Scorpion? 
 
Yea my plants are still small cuz I messed up a little.
Cool,just pm me if you wana trade or something
I don't know how hot they are at all hey,but I will next year :)
