My best Rocoto growing year was 2021 so far @Mildfruit. We had a lot of rain and really cold weather for the first month of the season. A lot of the fruit did not get ripe though and had to mature at the window. Worked actually better than I thgouht :) In the heat they tend to throw off...

Hello all! Today I found some more flowers and a friendly guest 🙂 A01 - Beaver Dam: A14 - Paprika beraní roh pálivá: I also had to do some repotting. Most of the plants are now in 13x13 cm / 5x5 inch pots. Biggest I can do indoor with that many plants. I have 10 pots with 5 l / 1,3...

This is actually a really good reason! :D

I put the seeds into my germination box at 14.01.2023. I am not exatly sure about the actual germination date but it took roughly 3 weeks. So far only one seed out of 5 came to life, so the germination rate was only 20%. 40 days sounds like torture! Maybe I just got lucky! 😅😬 First time for me...

Just discovered the first blossoms of the season! 😍 Locoto: Beaver Dam:

No problem! Thanks for letting me know in which varieties you are interested most. That helps me to prioritize some plants regarding the documentation. Usually some varieties just don't get enough attention each season. I guess this is the downside of growing too many varieties at the same time 🤷‍♂️

Thank you very much @Ratatouille, @Tinkerbelle, @Dougthehead, @Bou and @Mildfruit! 🙂 Yes exactly, I have quite a few C. baccatum from Deaflora. During my research I found out that at least Apricot Apple and Crumply Salmon have been sold from end of 2018, so if we assume they started with F1...

Hi all, as the peppers are growing for 7 to 8 weeks now, most of them have already a decent size. So far I am happy with the results. Coming to the last update for today with some overall pictures and some single views of the C. baccatum :) overview: Time to switch to C. baccatum 🌶️...

What will be growing in 2023? As my mouth is still burning from last season and my stock of chili powder is still huge, I am focusing on varieties I can eat in bigger quantities :D That is why I am growing a lot of C. annuum and C. baccatum this year. Also some wild varieties found their way...

Hi pepperlovers! I think it is time to get a grow log started for the season 2023. I hope you will join in and follow along. Feel free to give me advice, critics, ask questions and leave comments of any kind! :D As I already mentioned in my introduction post I am growing peppers since 2019...

Thank you very much for the welcome! ✌️ I totally agree! But I hope there will be more in the future. I still feel like I am just at the beginning :D

Hi together, my name is Alex and I have been growing peppers since 2019. I am located in Germany so my season is limited from May to October. Could be better, could be worse :D I am mainly focusing on growing peppers in buckets (3 to 13 gallons) depending on the variety. I also have a second...
