Only in the planning stage.

For 2009 I will be expanding from my measly 3 varieties to a less measly
(but still kinda measley) 7 varieties.

Naga Morich

Caribbean Red Habanero

Fatalii

Thai Red

Serrano

Hungarian Hot Wax

Poblano


Sort of a broad cross section from very hot to extremely mild
 
Yeah, we alsmost had the first killing frost of the season last night, no more than a week to go - at most. I'm watering my plants now hoping to finish off a few pods and give the 7-8 I plan on overwintering a good drink.

Next year, I'll be growing way fewer types (I had about 45 this year) but more of the better producers. Except for the ones I'm keeping in pots, next year they will all go into the ground. Even the ones in containers will be buried in dirt up to near the top of the pot.

That's a good growing list you have there macmanmatty.

I have a large number of chillis in the ground and about 4 in pots... They got planted a few weeks ago and we hopefully are going to have a good summer.....Not that it is good at the moment, about 10 degrees C and pouring rain... :beer:

I hope we Aussie's don't end up having a summer like a lot of you guys had this year. It rained all summer last year for us and i will cry if we get that again.....

I started already for 2009. I have several Fatali's, a couple red savina's, a couple bhut jolokia's, a couple jamacian scotch bonnet's, a jamacian hot chocolate, a white habanero,a tepin, a couple red pete's, and one trinidad scorpion growing right now.

I have some 7 pot and some scorpion I will be starting around January, and then about February I will start my jalapenos, serranos and the cayenne's.

March will be the poblanos, hot banana, big jims, and the "green" peppers. Red, yellow, and green.


That's the schedule I have made, looks like we might get one helluva cold winter here...just feels like it.:beer:

Nice selection my friend,Haven`t a clue what to grow next year yet,Apart from some hybrids ive done but must admit silly as it sounds im looking forward to growing Golden Greek Pepperoncini..lets hope the flavor is as good as i remember :onfire:

Why silly? I am looking forward to that one as well!

Lucky dog and I (as well as others I am sure) have learned that the super burners are great, but that a garden without lots of paprikas, pepperoncinis, and other seasoning type peppers is sorely lacking

Sky jerk's list is fairly well balanced for such a limited amount.

I have c.chinense out the ying yang this year. I will sorely miss home made paprika and jalapeno powder this winter. I have some, but not nearly enough.

I will have super burner powder (naga, scorpion, 7 pot) left in the spring.

Couldn't agree more. Growing the super hots is great fun and I will surely use them all, but a well balanced selection of peppers and powder isn't complete without a load of less hot peppers, given they have a great aroma etc... I'll definitely grow super hots again and I am always on the lookout for new varities, but some mild peppers are what I'll be growing more of next year like Champion, Lombardo, Pepperoncinis, bell peppers etc....

I totally agree. I plan to start a lot more throughout the coming months up til january many more c. baccatum and some good stuffing c. annum that take a lot less time to germinate and grow.
 
I plan on planting only about 7 types next season but having many plants of each type.
but then again it'll most likely turn out to be more - you all know how that is :shocked:
