The birds have scattered many of my cross seeds and with our abundant rains this winter I have hundreds of these guys sprouting all over the yard.  Neighbors do also but they just see them as weeds.I'm considering nurturing them and see what happens when things heat up around here.  I could have a pepper jungle with enough water I guess.

Very much the same drama I have each year. I usually let 2 survive as a guessing game mystery

I usually get 1 or 2 volunteer bishop crowns every year. Last year I had 6 thai volunteers

Mine was Aji lemon drop that was growth stunted, and had a woody stem at all of about 4" tall.  I had a solo cup bonsai with it for awhile.  (but I'm not really a bonsai type of guy)

I believe my raised bed that I had 10 Aji plants in and subsequently turned over a lot of fallen off rotten peppers at the end of last season, has a metric shit ton of Aji's growing in it.  I started to pull them as I was de-weeding the beds prior to plant out for this season and realized that they may be Aji sprouts.  Im going to let them go and see if I have an Aji jungle this year.
