It has been a while since my last post, but believe me when I tell you that I haven't given up on my garden this year.   As you know from previous posts, I had a space issue. So the first need was to create more space, I did that using 6.6 gallon buckets (that I will call 7 gallon from here on...

 Day 29   In a strange turn of events, I had two more peppers pop:   Scotch Bonnet - TFM (3/3) Jay's Peach Scorpion (3/4)         Now they're looking like this:                                     (yes this is an ugly zucchini plant over here v)           You're welcome and please share any...

Day 16     I think this will about do it for sprouting. No luck on the 7pot white and only two of Jay's Peach Scorpion, but over all not bad! This lands me with 39 hot pepper plants in total. I also started 4 Bell Peppers that I didn't document here, so now I just need to find room for 43...

Day 12   Decided to give you folks a few days off,  ;) but I'm back and so far so good on the seed starting.       I am listing these by the cells, not by individual seed, as I can't see all the seeds. Bold = Changed since yesterday Variety (Cells with seeds popped/Total cells of this variety)  ...

Very nice start, those plants are looking happy as can be. I love the rack set up too, makes me want to set one up and have a bigger crop!

Day 8     Two pods on my 2015 thai pepper plant, and about 100 flowers and plenty of pollinators out there. Plenty of green on my other 2015's, but no flowers yet.     I am listing these by the cells, not by individual seed, as I can't see all the seeds. Bold = Changed since yesterday Variety...

Day 7     I am listing these by the cells, not by individual seed, as I can't see all the seeds. Bold = Changed since yesterday Variety (Cells with seeds popped/Total cells of this variety)   Carolina Reaper (4/4) Fatalii (1/4) Scotch Bonnet - Foodarama Red (3/4) Scotch Bonnet - TFM (1/3) Jay's...

Day 6   Another quick update.It will be fun to look back at these and see the progress and I hope it gives us a good reference for how long it takes seeds to pop.     I am listing these by the cells, not by individual seed, as I can't see all the seeds. Variety (Cells with seeds popped/Total...

Thanks for sticking with me in this late adventure. For now, I have a quick update for you: I'll be counting days since they hit the RapidRooters, not since the soak, since the soak was technically the day before.   First peppers coming up at 4 days, bell peppers, you can kind of make out two of...

  I consider Hot Wax and Poblanos to have 'regular' thickness skin and would not consider either to be thin.   As others have said, Cayenne and Thai peppers always come to mind, though Thai sounds too short for you need.     I would recommend Hot Paper Lanterns. Should be in the right size range...

  Dig them up? Heavens no, I might get my hands dirty!           ...Instead I put them in these  :dance:

  I was intending to start a little later than usual this year, but more in the February time frame, not April.   The outdoor season for peppers varies widely throughout the state, but my particular region is basically year round. The only time that is not recommended for starting peppers is...

PaulG,  Thank you! I have enjoyed reading your Glogs over the years and am impressed by the sheer volume of high-quality content you have added to this site. One of these years I'll have a crop that goes all the way and produces some serious pods.     Cloning came naturally to me, I consider...

Uncle_Eccoli,   If I get around to taking cuttings again this year, I will document it in its own post. Right now, my outdoor plants are all woody looking with minimal new growth and I don't have any new plants at the moment. First, I highly recommend Khang Starr's youtube video on the...

Hi Matt,   Yes, we have a very long pepper season in zone 10a, because we rarely get frost. We had about 12 days where the lows were in frost temperatures this year, and they were not continuous, so the soil probably never went below 50*F.   I have 5 pepper plants still growing outdoors that I...

Great stuff Peter S, Thanks for sharing and nice video.   I always start in a heated tray/humidity dome and when they sprout, I pot them up using the same technique but with the circle in square party cups like this:    

Ok, here's the deal with this Glog, I have been growing peppers for years, but not very successfully.  I often have not had as much space as I would like for peppers and this year is no different.  Also, as the title says, I am starting super late (04/18/2019), I would normally germinate in...

I can't comment on seeds from Pepper Joe's, but my experience has been germination right around the the 2-week range given favorable conditions (75*F+ soil, kept moist but not wet).   I kept a timeline of when things popped for my 2013 Glog and they all came up between 4 and 17 days...

Thanks everyone for participating! I'll add a new "less deceiving" picture for you :) To be fair though, Kjnorris918 was only off by 7 seeds! Relatedly, I currently have no pictures and I feel that Photobucket missed the mark with their "pay to play" policy. I guess I did not give them enough...

Alright the results are in! There are 1,118 seeds in total, which means Kjnorris918 is the first prize winner! AJDrew and WindowBoxGardner will also take home prizes. Please PM your address and Kjnorris918 pick your prize I'll get these out this week.
