Getting ready to sow! Thanks for the seeds! Let's go Growdown 2025!!

I like all of the peppers listed. I grew the Tazmanian Black last year and I love them but the others look fun as well.

Box is on its way to Texas!

Package received!

Let's go!!

I should be receiving it on Friday!

Can I get onboard for this year?

I am sorry but I have been so busy this year, that pepper gardening took a back seat. I spent over an hour today picking this batch. The bag weighed about 0.3 oz so this is like 1 lb 2.5 oz worth of charapitas. Rich, your plant is insane. Congrats! Excellent job!

First weigh in. Unfortunately, I removed the stems before weigh-in or there would have been a better number. :doh:

Update on my Aji Charapita. Looks like I could have used that fencing around the pot as some of the lower branches look kinda weak... Second pic is a top down-ish viewpoint. I see one singular ripe pepper.

Another update on the muties! This time I also included the non-mutant for comparison.

Yes! Striped Cucumber Beetle! I have seen them and actually smooshed a couple. Ok, now I got a victim. Gotta look up videos on how to get rid of them. Thanks!

I thought I saw this previously, but I am having a hard time finding similar pics so I am posting it. Just wanted to ask if anyone knows what kind of pest causes this type of leaf damage and if there is any known way of removing this pest from my environment. Thanks!

Huh, look at that. First pepper. Still very small. Starting out looking very Aji Charapita-ish.

My chosen plant for the growdown. Still hoping it is not a cross. Got a stake on it now, not pictured. I do not have containers the size of Rich Blood's containers but I will give it a go.
