HillBilly Jeff's 2016 Slimmed Down Grow

Just threw together some numbers and it looks like my entire pepper grow this season will be 72 plants.  One tray.  I think I can get them all in the raised beds.  Not sure if I will do them all in the raised beds, but I think I can.  
 
I have a lot of peppers still in the freezer.  I have enough sauce.  I have a lot of powder.  I just need some fresh peppers to grow through summer.  
 
I will be hitting tomatoes harder this year though.  I have a lot of tomatoes I want to can.  
 
I will try to get my preliminary list up tomorrow.

And here is the list.  This should give me enough to eat fresh and to send out some sampler boxes.
 
1  Red Mushroom   Last seasons seed I bought didn't run true, so they sent me another pack.
 
3  Big Bomb
 
3  Goliath Jalapeno 
 
12 HBJ  They all grew true last year.  Hoping for the same this season.
 
1  CGN21500  Kewl looking Hab, with great aroma and good taste

1  Caramel Hab
 
1  Orange Blob Tasty pepper

I really like the list, especially those in the hab category. Not familiar with your HBJ even though I'm pretty sure I followed last year's grow. Got a pic and description of those?

Here's to another great year for you!
 
Nice variety Jeff. I'm scaling down this year as well. I'm going to grow a couple supers and the rest will be extreme annuum's. I use lots of powder. I guess it takes a few years to figure out what one like's. Another thing I had to consider, my growing season is short. I wish you luck on your grow this year. Thanks for sharing.

They are a chocolate cayenne.  Several years back I had one plant that mutated.  Been growing it out to stable ever since.

I'm tempted to post a youtube video, but I imagine you're hearing the song in your head now anyway.

The extra cell because I can't count is now filled with yellow bhut.

Will see if this new package of seeds will germinate, and if they don't, what the company will do about it.  Worst seeds I have ever received.

Good luck this year Jeff. It looks like they roasted the seeds for you.
 
[SIZE=11pt]I am reshipping your packet of Jalapeno Goliath seed from a different seed lot since it looks like they did an “overfill” on the other packet you received due to lower germ rates. You should be receiving this shortly.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]Thanks for letting us know.[/SIZE]

Best of luck this year Jeff. :hot:
 
I hear you about the slimmed down grow. Sometimes I wonder why I am growing any supers at all this year. With so many in the freezer and plenty of powder...
 
Mine usually take about a week to start popping.  Anything today?
