hmm, maybe I should start them as soon as I have room in my germination kit. I didn't realize that they were so slow growing. I think today i'll get the bell peppers into pots and start my rocotos. . .

Well, 2 days later and I'm at about 45 sprouts now. I planted 2 seeds into each pellet to increase my chances at germination, so a few of them have 2 sprouts in them. Oh well, the smaller of the 2 will get removed before potting up, which should be within  a week or so, once the roots get a...

thanks JJJ, i thought it was quite alot to show up overnight. i guess i got the temps and humidity a little more fine-tuned this year. Once they start getting some roots and true leaves, they'll go into their starter pots.

nice looking plants!!! I'm glad the weather here is finally breaking, maybe even make it to 50 on Saturday.

well, yesterday I had 8 hooks/starts and today I have 24. Here's a quick shot of some of them. Still kinda boring to look at, I'm just surprised at how many took off...  

I just noticed you have the Year of the Bhuts!!! Cool, I'll be checking out your progress as well....

Alrighty, a week's gone by since I planted the seeds. I've got a few hooks, and a few others breaking the surface. I had a little mold, so I mixed a tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide with a cup of water, and sprayed down the pellets. Hopefully it works and I don't end up with any damping off...

well, it's another year, and I promise this year to add weekly updates until the end of the season. I drifted off mid-summer last year and never showed any finished pods, plants, sauces, powders or anything! So, , , I started my super hots this afternoon after shoveling 4 inches of snow off my...

I used Happy Frog for all my seedlings last year after they sprouted out of their starter peat pellets. It was always good to them, and I even did some containers with it as well during the summer. I also didn't need to fertilize for a really long time. The nutrients in Happy Frog and Ocean...

that's true chewi, no room next year. . .

the stem is fine. the "woody" part will become more prominent as it grows. . .

also, plant in shifts. if it bolts then your second one will be ready shortly after, and then your third, etc.  .

I made the pepper jelly with liquid pectin and just followed the directions but used Chocolate Habs, instead of Jalapenos.

oh, and when I made pepper jelly with them, , , so good, soo, good. . .

you got aphids? Azamax them, , ,

From the heart;   Dear Chocolate Habs, I owe you a huge apology. When I started your seeds you were always going to be my back-up player, always my second best. You weren't going to be my hottest, growing next to my "trendy" Douglah's, and Moruga Blends. You weren't going to be awed as the...

thanks for all the input. I'm really looking forward to the Brain Strain, and White, and Congo, and Large Yellow, . . . . .

I grew the Douglah this year, and they turned out ok. Very hot...

cool. I think I remember seeing that in your glog. I wanted to grow some bigger peppers that have a lot of heat to them, and the 7 Pod family just seemed like the right choice. Judy, you gave me 2 free packs of them this year!! So, I'm definitely looking forward to them!

So far I've got seeds for the Red 7 Pod Congo Gigantic, Orange 7 Pod, Large Yellow 7 Pod, 7 Pod Brain Strain Yellow, and White 7 Pod. I'm looking forward to planting some of them all, but what's your favorite on my list, or stuff not on my list?
