The weather is gonna drive me crazy. We are in for two more weeks with some subzero C temps at night :( Not only that I cant move my plants outdoor, this also holds me down from potting up - I dont have more indoor space for bigger pots. And new plants are popping out from today. Hope my...

Hi Rick. Things are looking great overthere :) Congrats on Manzanos, it payed off to be stubborn. I'm using same approach for Aji Cubanelle. I had 0/10 last year, so those are probably bad seeds, but never the less, I'm trying again :D Those chinensis are already big, real monsters, you could...

Hi Rick, thanks for stopping by. It is ambitios, hope it comes through :) I have a lot of land down on the farm in my home town, so I'm trying to make some use of it :D Weather here is much colder then last year, we just got out of subzero C temps at night, and we will be going down again next...

Nice pics Lourens :) About that hab - I also think it is Peach Habanero. Dont know where did you get the seeds from, but I bought some Red Hab seeds last season and got those Peach Habs as result. Heat was classic hab, but I didnt like the taste, there was just not much taste to it.

It's a busy weekend overhere :) Didn't have time for many pics, so here's one: Plastic greenhouse is ready, just waiting for better temps so I can keep peppers outdoor at night too. Also, I've finalized variety list and planted all I wanted (or could :D) - 45 varieties: Update 24.3.2013...

Hej Joe. Best of luck with the season! I see you're adding some uniqe pepperd to the growing list.

Thanks Rob. Now, it looks like my growing list is getting bigger every day. I was looking through m pepper equipment closet shelf and found a plastic bag with Nagabon seeds I got from a fellow grower few months back. Back to the germination box it is :D

Hi Rob. I got the seeds from Aji Joe, here's what the dry pod looks like: I did some research now, and I see it is a Chinense, I didn't know that there is Wild Brazil that is Chinense, my first google info on Wild Brasil was praetermissum (note to myself - research better :D) Thanks for the...

Hi Rick. Thanks, I'm looking forward to Chile De Arbol, sounds very promising :) I''ll try starting the rest of my varieties (about 30 is left to start) this weekend. Time is ticking, I have to start them soon to get some varieties ripe till September (Morugas, 7 Pots). It's challenging but...

Capsaicin project? Sounds interesting :) Indeed you have quite a superhot collection. Bhuts arr very harf to handle fresh, so hot you can't sense any flavor. But red bhut powder is amazing stuff - now theres the flavor and a heat I can tolerate :) My favorite is yellow fatalii, beautiful...

I've somewhat changed my growing list since I ordered some new seeds and decided not to grow some varieties that I didn't really like last year or I didn't have viable seeds. The list is still subject to a change since I'm running out of time :D Capsicum anuum (14) 1. Big Jim Anaheim 2...

Hey Sanarda. great glog and nice variety choice :) Just wanted to say you are not the only adult with ODD disorder :D I'm still waiting for some 7 pod, moruga and rocoto seeds to arrive so I can sow. Since I am to in zone 7, we are in similiar situations. I think we stand a chance. Judging...

Great glog Sawyer, and nice pepper list! Almoust all are superhots :) Goodl luck with the grow :)

Thanks Rick. I could pot-up few plants this week also, but I'm in no hurry, they are not as big as yours.I was just looking last year photos, although I started a week earlier this season, I'm about 2 weeks behind due to colder weather this year.I'm not worried since there is still plenty of...

I have a new record - few of my peppers hooked after 3 days! 3 Scotch Bonnet Orange, 1 Jamaican Red, 1 Choco Fatalii (this one is not really visible due to camera angle), 1 TS Yellow FG -those hooks marked on pics were added to the box on wednesday night! I know it's silly, but I just had to...

Hi Rick. Sorry to hear about Manzanos and Vesena. I got 1/8 manzanos growing, it's looking good. One more germinated but it was rotten, didn't stand a chance. I will start vesena in a week or two, hope i get few plants. I didn't hear from Ela in a long time, don't know about her luck with vesena.

Thanks man :) I'm very curious about this variety, and it's a fast grower. Hi Rick. Well, it's hard to say. I will probably setup a greenhouse in 3 weeks, when the subzero temps are gone. I will not plant them in the ground till May since the frost danger is very unpredictable here. Last year...

Yesterday I had a germination record - Scotch Bonnet Orange came out on the 5th day :) Few Bonnets and a few Jamaican red hooks anyway :D Rest of the plants is growing fast, due to few sunny days. To give them a good start I also have them under CFL's through night Yellow Trinidad Scorpion...
