PaulG 2019

No grow log for the 2018 season other than the Pimenta de Neyde x Bonda Ma Jacques
thread dedicated to Trippa's cross. That one is an ongoing community project going into
second year and a test of the F7 generation. I imagine I will mention it once-in-a-while in
this thread, but the details of its progress will be in the dedicated thread.
 
I am deciding on a grow list for the 2019 season after growing only Trippa's cross this
season (2018). I definitely have some old favorites that will comprise the great majority
of the grow. I have limited space, so I'm counting on nature to help me make the final
decision. I'll probably start lots of seeds since I'm gun-shy from the poor germination
rates the past couple of seasons.
 
Here's the pool. Would be nice to be able to grow a bunch of all of them!  I think my
neighbor will shelter the overflow in his yard, but we'll see what to plant and how many
based on what might germinate  :rofl:
 
c. chinese - 10 varieties: 
  • PdN x BMJ, F7, white and violet varieties, Trippa's cross
  • Fatali, F2 of seed from Pepper Joe's
  • 7 Pot Burgundy, brown phenotype, pecan shape from 2017 F2 of the 7PB from Windchicken 
  • Scotch Bonnet, MoA, F2 of seeds from John/Sim, not high production, but some nice pods
  • JA Red Habanero, F5 of seed from Walk Good/Devv
  • Yellow Scorpion, F7 aka Yellow Trinidad Moruga Scorpion and CARDI Scorpion, from Spankycolts plant 2012
  • Bhut Jolokia, Red, F4, from Spankycolts plant 2012
  • Bhut Jolokia, Chocolate, F3 of seed from Georgia Growhead
  • Bhut Jolokia, hybrid, F2 - I believe it is a  (BJred) x (Pdn x BMJ F1 or F2)
  • Yellow 7 Pot, F2 of seed from Trippa 2013
c. annuum - 4 varieties:
  • JA Red Mushroom, F3, brown phenotype, seed from Refining Fire
  • Pimenta de Padron - Spanish seed, fry up while small and green, throw on some salt
  • Pimenta del Piquillo - Spanish seed, sweet, very flavorful, small stuffers
  • Guindilla - Spanish seed, spicy heat, great pickled, long and skinny
c. frutescens - 2 varieties:
  • Nagahari from Tezpur, India, supposedly very, very hot freebie from Pepper Joe's 2017
  • Chili Costa Rica, F2 (2014) from Hippy Seed Company seed, 2012
c. pubescens - 1 variety:
  • Red Rocoto, F3 of Peruvian Market seed, 2016
That about does it. Seeding time will be here before we know it!

Thanks, Scott. I love it when the pods color up, too.
 
Production may not be great this year, but I'll have
enough to experiment with fermenting sauces.

hmmm sauces, do I see a fermented sauce in your future? :onfire:
 
 
still plenty of time for pods to grow. id imagine even there it would be warm enough into early September.

Yes, going to prep some ferments today. 
 
I'm going to try 4 pints and see what transpires.

If we are lucky, maybe even into October, if the 
Fall is really nice.
 
Okay, bit the bullet. Some small jars for a trial run.
Put some black berries in the Scorpions and Habaneros.
The center jar is Aji Amarillo with some SLR thrown in.
All have some carrots and a clove or garlic thrown in
along with a little Lemon Drop powder seasoning.

Here's one for ya. These yellow veins showed up literally
overnight. They affect three sets of leaves. The stem end
of the lower leaf, all of the middle leaf, and the tips of the
third set. At first I thought of herbicide overspray from
somewhere (yellow veins, green leaves) but no other plants
affected. Weird. Maybe somebody has an idea?

The new growth at the branch tips looks normal so far.
 
Wife gone for a week. Dinner pretty simple:

BJ hybrid Purple Thunder for a taste test:

Ate a little sliver. The heat at the blossom
end was about like the Fatali rings on the
tuna quesadilla. Taste not unpleasant:

As for the baby alligator, I ate everything
but the tail.
