My pepper garden in South Africa.

Here is my pepper garden in Cape Town, South Africa. It is summer now, so every plant is flourishing. I also have another small garden at another location directly in the ground. I've spent a small fortune on pots, organic potting mix, worm castings, bat guano, perlite, volcanic dust and other ingredients. It really is a fun hobby and I've been doing it for years on and off. This is my most varied crop ever. The cacti are Peruvian torch on the left and on the right is a cutting I found on the side of the road. It creates a mexican look to the garden. I'll keep you all posted.
 
I have a small variety:
Carolina Reapers
7 Pot brain yellow
Naga Viper
Congo
Jalapeno
Serrano
Thai - not sure what type.
Poblana
Mexican Chiptole

Aji Cito

Aju AMarillo
Brazilian Starfish
Cayenne

Pasilla
7 pot red

It is about 26 - 30 degrees C in December. In Jan and Feb it gets to about 30 - 35. In winter it gets to a low of about 10 -15, very rarely in the single digits (celcius). 
 
I can overwinter most of the plants. Most of the ones in the photos are 2-3 years old. 
 
You have a beautiful garden display :)
