Thank you very much @OCD Chilehead! ✌️ Every year I know what I am getting into with this amount of plants, but I just can´t resist :D When the last frost is over I feel like ALL the plants need to be in their final destination by then. But it takes usually at least one week, more realistic...

Hi there! Most of my peppers made it finally into their end pots for this season. But before I had to work on the soil mix. First of all I emptied all the old pots and sieved the soil. Next step was rinsing the pots with water. And then mixing the soil. Its a mixture of old soil, some...

As I am enjoying your offseason glog very much already I am really looking forward to your main glog ✌️ :)

Thank you very much @MarcV! ✌️ The Rocotos will be in 40 to 60 l pots and the C. baccatum will be tranplantet into 35 l pots. I want to try out how big I can get them :) Usually I am going with 10 l for C. annuum, 20 l for C. chinense, 20 to 35 l for C. baccatum and 35 + l for C. pubescens.

Hi all, let get´s started with part two of the update! ✌️ Criolla Sella: Here a little comparison of the growth between 5 l / 1,5 gallon an 2 l / 0,5 gallon. Both plants have the same age. Little Bird of Guyana: Again 5 l / 1,5 gallon an 2 l / 0,5 gallon. Some nice pods are forming...

Hi all! Long time no update from my side. The days have been really busy, but slowly we are getting started in the garden! :woohoo: About a week ago it was getting really crowded indoors. Not only in the the basement, but also at the two south facing windows. It feels like I have more plants...

Your plants are looking just great! Nice colour and growth! I think they should have the perfect size once it is time to transplant them outdoors 👍

Thank you very much @Ratatouille! Some early pods would be very much appreciated! I am really looking forward to have some fresh peppers soon (hopefully) 😍

Hi everybody! today a little update on the chilis :) It is getting really crowded in the basement as the plants are getting some good size. Most of them are in 13x13 cm / 5x5 inch pots now. The C. pubescens won the race with producing the first flowers! 😍 Some nice flowers on the...

I just picked this link up here a few weeks ago and found it really helpful for the different capsicum varieties. I found it really interesting to see where they come from geologically. Maybe there are some information you are interested in :)

Found a really big and nice looking flower on one of my Rocoto Canario plants today. It is the first flower and it looks like there are maybe forming two fruits 😍

I see you have al kind of possibilities. Doesn´t make the decision easier! 😬 A polytunnel would be really nice to have, maybe next year :) I will step back a little bit this year and mostly concentrate on peppers and tomatoes. Not enough time this year 🤷‍♂️ But garden planing usually needs more...

There are ten days in between the two pictures, so it took roughly two weeks for the maturing. Yes exactly, the window is facing south. And it was also in the living room, so quite warm :) To be honest the taste is not as good compared to fruit which ripened in the sun and on the plant. But...

Really nice! Are you growing out all of them? And do you already know if you will put them in containers or outside in the garden bed? :)

Healthy looking plants! Nothing to complain about :thumbsup: I totally agree with the Aji Guyana. Had it last year for the first time and it is on the list again this season :)

You CAP 1487 looks really beautiful! :)

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...
