Neat, have you started any seeds yet?

MeatHead1313 · Nov 29, 2014

Nice list so far Jeff. I've found myself scaling back the supers and hots for next year as well, while increasing sweets and milds as thats more to my wife's taste, so we'll use more of those. Best of luck for the 2015 season!

You growing any Rocotos or Manzanos?

I won't be starting seeds until February as this year I ended up with a jungle and over crowded plants that were tall and spindly. They grew out of it nice when they were planted out.

I will be starting my manzano plants sooner though.

I will be growing a lot more sweets, mainly for my sauces.

I saved some seeds from my manzano and PIC1 sent me some kind like that where the name escapes me at the moment. Depending on how well I do with making a sauce from the pods I have.

Tried the hand grenade pepper today. Didn't have the heat I thought it would have. I picked some pieces out of the omelet and chewed them and got a tickle in the throat. Excellent flavor on them. I will be adding this to the hab bed.

That's a great list Jeff, look forward to following your progress.

Devv · Nov 30, 2014

Nice list Jeff.

I'm scaling back on the supers too next year. I need to use up all the sauces and powders I have

Good luck this coming season!

HillBilly Jeff · Nov 30, 2014

You too Scott.

Sweet, more glowing to follow! Count me in

Seriously considering growing chocolate hab next year. The ones I grew last year were hawgs. Didn't get a ton of poddage, but the ones I got were wall hangers.

Just dropped a couple hundred at the Green house mega store. Free shipping today on orders over 200. Picked up enough 6 mil to do two beds and pulled the trigger on a 31 by 10 sun screen for the strawberry bed. Also picked up a few odds and ends.

The savings on the shipping is really nice.

Chenzo OW is kicking out some blooms and is growing quite fast.

Wow, Jeff, off to the races already with a 2015 blog. I feel like a slacker, now

Looks like a nice grow planned for next season, my friend.

East Texas Heat · Dec 2, 2014

I've got both choco habs and scotch bonnets on the list for this year, I know they're probably identical peppers but i'm curious to see if they show any differences from seed to pods.

HillBilly Jeff · Dec 2, 2014

Got my first porno mags of the season.

PaulG · Dec 2, 2014

Nuttin' like a little porn to get the juices flowin'!

Guess you like tomatoes!

Yep. I got the same tomato catalog the other day.

And, just like you and Scott, I'll be scaling way back on the supers. Likely only a few since I probably have enough powder for the next decade. :rofl:

I o/w the 3 year old Red ghost, Jigsaw and the NM chocolate. If they all make it all winter, I might not start any new ones at all.

Devv · Dec 2, 2014

Got any favorites as far as the Tomatoes go?

I still have Early Girl's and San Marzano's going in pots. We don't get near the production during the fall-winter season, but we stay in the fresh tomatoes well enough.

Scorched · Dec 2, 2014

Great looking grow list so far. Looking forward to following along for your 2015 adventure

Sun Sugar to munch on and as always better boy. Might run Amish paste or Olpka if I need paste tomatoes and super boy if I am making salsa. Not sure if I will branch out any from the old standbys.

Made a nebru pepper omelet tonight. 3 eggs and the entire pod and didn't get a lot out of it. I should have room in the super bed, so I will probably put one in there. I like the cross as it looks like it should be something nice.

I'm with you as far as tomatoes go. I just don't branch out much once I have ones I like. I did buy some seeds for an indeterminate paste tomato for next year though. I'll mix those in with my Romas to get a little continued production later in the year. This year I didn't have near enough late season tomatoes for fall salsas.
