Thank you Joe, yes some are from you! Looking forward to posting more pictures for you, I have a lot of mystery plants from your seeds I will need help identifying this season! Can't wait to see what your crosses produce, I started 6 plants of all varieties!

Happy growing!

Hi Shane!

Yes Corona is beautiful, I love it here! I was looking at the weather channel today and told my hubby we have a lot of work to do friday, lugging all those plants in my two greenhouse's is not going be fun! Thanks for looking and good luck with your grow as well, love checking out all your grafting projects!

Melissa

Purple Bhut's, the foliage is not as purple as some others I have seen? :think:

A baby chocolate hab is in there! I stopped counting how many flowers this plant has, it's ridiculous!

Mystery plants, mixed pods rec'd from smokemaster and I grew random seeds. Two plants look like this, thinking it may be tree habanero.

Do you see the baby yellow manzano in there??

My red manzano loving it's new 15ga home, it's starting to flower now!

The purple bhuts may not be as purple as some ive seen around here but those are still some good lucking plants! Massive grow list too! Oh and i like your version of "overwintering".... Glad to see its a pic heavy thread! Good luck happy growing!

LanMan · Mar 14, 2012

That is a hudge list you ave! Very nice plants and I hope you can find the time for all of them. Keep up the great work.

RocketMan · Mar 14, 2012

Now, I've heard of jumping in wtht both feet but WOW, that is some impressive list. Infact, reading through it reminded me that there were 3 others I wanted to add to my grow list.

I only wish I had something bigger than this standard small Florida size yard, well and the wife wants me to grow somethign that she can eat too.

Are the kids big enough to help out? We are in the process of adopting a 6 year old girl and a 7 year old boy and this weekend I'm going to see if they have any interest in gardening. I'm kinda hoping they do. My peppers are from seed but I'm going to get some small ones for them to plant that they can see growing and see how it goes. We love fresh produce and it doesn't get any more so than from the back yard.

Hope your grow goes well, I think we might have the same grow season here, that's all year long except for a few days in Jan and Feb right? I hope you can get as good a deal on woozies and on your soils, your going to be elbow deep in hot sauce soon, but that's a good thing isn't it?

Cheers,
RM

Great looking plants and grow log you have. Smokemaster / Mike was very generous to me when I started here. I bet it's cool to hang with him.

Good luck with your season!

Thanks LanMan, I have no choice but to keep up with the plants, in too deep now but I am confident I can manage!

Hi RM!

Thanks for stopping by my grow log

My husband and I were lucky enough to find a house with a nice size yard, and luckily he is all for hot peppers so no doubt most landscape will consist of chile plants!

I wish my girls were old enough to help out! My little one turned two in December and is a ball of destruction at times, destroyed many plants already! lol. My older daughter will be the big 5 in June, and while she is a good helper she is usually helping me keep the little sister entertained. One day! That is really great you are adopting and at that age I am sure they will be great helpers with a teacher like yourself

Yes we have similar growing seasons, nights can get in the low 30's here on occasion but rarely a frost that will kill a plant. I am a purchasing professional for the past 10 years, started very young in the professional world. My background helps me find the best deals out there, bargain shopper and true negotiator here! Thanks for the well wishes, much appreciated.

Good Luck with your grow RM!

Thank you Mike! Smokemaster is a great guy and very cool to hang with, I think my hubby would take an hour drive to see him every weekend if he could!

Good luck with your grow as well!

Thanks Spicergeist! Actually funny you mention that variety, it is one I want to grow. Crossing my fingers that seeds for pimenta de neyde is on the seed train I should be getting in a week or so!!

Melissa77754 · Mar 15, 2012

Time for some individual baby pics

My 7 Pot Brown, I pinched it back and look at all the middle growth pushing through!

Seedlings from ajioe seeds, I was lucky enough to purchase some from him right before he stopped selling!

Chocolate Scorpion

PRIMO

Cantina Yellow

stc3248 · Mar 15, 2012

That Cantina is a cool looking little plant! How are they?

Melissa77754 · Mar 16, 2012

Indoor plants

Fuzzy baby manzano

Peruvian Golden

Yellow Habalokia from ajijoe

This came out of Ajijoe's supreme mix, the cotyledons were dark purple and the first true leave was kinda funky looking! lol

It is a cool looking plant huh? I have only read about it, never tasted one. I had this plant under my lights indoors, but it grew so fast that I had to move it outdoors to my greenhouse. Looking forward to trying this one out! I read really great reviews on the taste of this pepper. I will take pics when it flowers/fruits, if you want a pod I am sure I can send you one this season

stc3248 · Mar 16, 2012

I don't think I am capable of ever turning down a pod or seeds...I've tried and failed several times. lol

I had a few seedlings that started out with a little tan like your Aji Joe plant...most of mine were chocolate/brown varieties. Devils tongue brown and Chocolate Bhuts are two I remember off the top of my head.
