My plan for 2016 is, driving my private project on cross pollinating capsicums a little further. Since there allready is a lot of pepper science on cross pollination, brought to a matrix, showing what will and what won't produce fertile pods, my goal is to not reinvent the wheel. I found...

you'll soon need: - bigger pots - tons of fertilizer :D man... I thought I'd be crazy last seasons having 15 or more pubes in my garden...   since bigger containers are better for pubes, the smallest I used were 12liters, common were 20liters, the bigger ones 45liters ... this season I guess...

And if there's still question about, what type of eximium the one sold by semillas is: it's pretty sure, that it's cgn 19198, since peter (semillas) mentioned this some time ago.

Since your Inbox is full, I'm leaving this here:

wow... some old post, but wow!   your project Nigel, that's pretty much exactly, what I'm doing this season.   My current plant-list: cgn 24332 (eximium) cap 1491 (eximium) cgn 19198 (eximium) ulupica from la paz (eximium) wild pepper from bolivia (seems to be eximium) cgn 20497 (cardenasii)...

It's not (only) the pot-size, that matters, it's more the way, the roots can spread in the container, which was chosen.   plants usually can only get nutrition at the first few centimeters of the root. but roots continue growing. that's why bigger pots provide a better upkeep of watering (next...

  Peppers! :D   I live in germany and I don't know of any pepper-plant that survived only one winter outdoors.

I don't know the actual translation for what is called "Blütenendfäule" in germany, so I tryed google translator which said "blossom end rot" would fit... I'm pretty sure that isn't correct, but anyways...   I wrote an article on that topic on a german facebook group and got very positive...

The jute-pots were DIY-pots made out of old potatoe-bags. in germany, 25 and 50kilo-bags of potatoes usually come in jute - so it's actually free, if you eat potatoes sometimes. maybe there's some coffee roaster in your area - they often work with jute, too. ;-) I stabilized them using simple...

  Isn't changing underwear considered kind of "normal"? I'd rather say if you DON'T change, you're all nuts. :D

... you quickly chew some jalapenos to calm down the burning of a trinidad scorpion.

Looks like Arbol. Quite common though.

Hey folks,   Airpots ( aka root trainers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_trainer ) seem to become a big thing for pepper growers in germany atm. Since I wanted to give it a try, too, I started some "upcycling", building up some airpot-like "pots" from old stuff/trash, just to see, if it'll...

Currently I have 3 rhomboidum, 1 lanceolatum and 1 praetermissum. lanceolatum did pretty well but seems to dislike something atm, since it's dropping leaves from top down. "New" plants  (only some weeks old) are: 2 tovarii, 3 cardenasii, 1 eximium   I guess, for next season I'll just save the...

Finally managed to get my hands on a tovarii plant. ;-)  

Thanks a lot for that info! I got in touch with some people at finland who might have seeds this fall, too. If they won't have a good harvest, I guess, I'll ask again this fall. ;-)  

This is a purely amazing plant!   is there any chance to get some seeds?
