Looking really good!

  The BOC will be interesting, but what I mean is a classic red Bhut Jolokia.  Something for next year perhaps?  I can send you some seed that will definitely grow true if you like for the occasion.

Great varieties.  Love that 5-year old plant.  Only thing missing is a good Bhut Jolokia...

  Lol, a Palm Civet?  Never heard of that... just looked it up, pretty cute little critter.

The near constant rain is letting up a bit.  Potted up probably everything I'm going to this year.   Here are the two sources for my Chimayos: http://www.sandiaseed.com/products/chimayo http://shop.nativeseeds.org/products/d018 Here are the two plants in their final pots:   I usually don't...

  I tried growing a Chimayo last year, but the plant didn't make it.  I've heard good things about it and am looking forward to tasting it.  From what I can tell, not a lot of people grow it here in the East... maybe I'll try crossing the two different Chimayos for more vigorous seed next year. ...

Here's probably the craziest cross I'm growing this year: [[Chiltepin x Chintexle] x C. galapagoense] x Negro de Valle.  I'm not sure if these are just early runt pods or if this is how they will turn out.  Two different pods:     I found some nice looking Thai Hot peppers at the supermarket...

We've been getting a lot of rain, but the sun came out for a bit so I took a few photos.   I just potted up my plants the other day, here are a couple shots of most of them:     I didn't gamble too much with new varieties this year, but two that I did take a chance on were the brown and yellow...

Thanks Mali.  Temps are improving... almost there.     It is native here, but I ordered that plant from Oregon a few years ago...  Kind of crazy to do that I guess...

    It really has been!  Unusually hot, then cold again...  I'm leaving most of them outside tonight, it'll get down to 40, a little cooler than I'd like, but I'm so sick of moving them around!  The lows will improve starting tomorrow:

These pics are from two days ago, the lows have been in the 30s here, so I've been keeping them inside lately:  

    Haha, yeah, good to be here growing again.  It's just so helpful to me, on balance I get more out of it than it takes out of me.       Update time.   I lined up my larger pots and made tentative plans regarding which plants will go in which pots:   Pink Tigers:   They were green under the...

Today was very warm and sunny, 74°F (23°C).  I put all of my plants outside, here are a few of them:   The wasps came out too:

Maybe the water?  Do you use filtered water?

Everything is looking very nice.

I'm not sure.  But I'd guess it has to do with the grow medium there.  Probably time to put them in pots.

Update time!   Chiltepin x C. galapagoense F1     Naga Suomi x Pimenta da Neyde F1, four plants:     Naga Suomi on top, Bhut Jolokia on bottom:   Now this is unusual, [[Chiltepin x Chintexle] x C. galapagoense] x Negro de Valle:   [[Chiltepin x Chintexle] x C. galapagoense] x Chiltepin:  ...

  Ah, you spotted them... they look different don't they?  Those are the two Pink Tiger plants I'm attempting to however slightly improve.       Thanks guys!

Running out of space:   Some of the seedlings still need the stronger light:   In 2012 I grew a great Seven Pod Yellow, but for whatever reason the seed I saved has been really reluctant to germinate.  This year I planted a lot of that 2012 seed and finally got one to come up, I will revive...

Thanks everyone, and sorry for not being very active on here... but things are progressing nicely for me.  I potted up a few today:
