2016 Grow Start

Been starting some seeds, the first is the Jalapeno, used fresh from the Red ones and only 50% came up, glad I soaked them first to see who would sprout. Planted them in soil and they have come up so , so far so good
My Aji Lemon after a long struggle with Aphids  is finally looking good, so Im breathing easier now with him

Aji Lemon, lots of pods
 

 

[dragonsfire]

Picked some Jamaican Yellow Habs, small, weather not the greatest, hot/cold, theirs still one on the vine almost ripe thats 1.5". They all are behaving differently, The Jalapenos doing the best, next the "Burning Bush" peppers, the rest still not fruiting. Yesterday it was almost 30c so maybe give them a push

Started up some seeds from the "Ghost" peppers I bought.

Overall look of my peppers.
Took a nibble of a small Aji Lemon, very hot, not much taste, just allot of heat like a Thai Chili.
The small 5 row ones in from are from seeds this year. I Chocolate Hab two Rocoto, two were the labels have disappeared.

CRAP!, not Aji Lemon, De Arbol peppers, was labeled wrong, two seasons in and back to square one. On the positive side their real hot (when it was green), see how they taste ripened.
 

 

[dragonsfire]

Tried the De Arbol this morning, sweetness first taste, not much taste in general and not as hot as the green one I tried, so a general purpose pepper I figure.
 

 
First Scotch Bonnet of the year, was hopping for more.

 
Ghost pepper from last year, also only one on the plant so far.

 

[dragonsfire]

Slow but steady

Update. Growing nice since starting from seed this year.
5" pots, big difference I did this year was allot more fertilization, last year I used 1L of Neptunes for the whole year. This year have used 3L so far of a diff Organic fish emulsifier, have anothe 1L of another brand to try out.
 
CheiroRoxa

 
Dont know what these are the labels lost some time ago.

 

[dragonsfire]

Trying again, package says Aji Lemon, had three seeds left, planted them, two have come up. See if they are what they say.
 

 

[dragonsfire]

Update.
 
Picked some Burningbush Peppers for the first time, tried it, man was that hot, was surprised actually, hotter then a Thai, had to eat a couple dried figs to kill the heat.
Was a nice juicy crunch with some nice taste then a rush of thick heat that went to the back of my throat, I forgot what the specific taste was as was just shocked at the rush of heat, will try again later +now that I know what to expect.
(The aftertaste burp is that like a Habanero)
 
Rest of the peppers coming in nicely.
 

 
Jamaican Yellow Pepper

 
Scotch Bonnet

 
El Hefe Pepper

 

[dragonsfire]

[dragonsfire]

Dont know, on the bag it says P1585273, supposed to be those purple ones.
 
Found it , Rocto Manz Amarillo

 

[dragonsfire]

Tried the El Jefe, very nice, sweet and the heat of a Jalapeno. The other Jalapenos still the same, very sweet bell pepper tase, no heat.
 

 

[dragonsfire]

Peppers from today.
My "Scotch Bonnets" are not looking like Bonnets anymore??
Rocoto's coming nice, small though.
 

 

[dragonsfire]

Temps have dropped to 1c, frost this morning, plants have been in my Kitchen for the last two days, will put them out tomorrow, lows supposed to be 5c
 
El Jefe's are real nice, dehydrating a mix of Jamaican/Scotch and Burning Bush Habs.
 

 

[Lovepeppers]

Looking great!

 

[dragonsfire]

Thanks to Brooklyn Ken found out the Real type of pepper these are is the Cheiro Roxa Pepper

So their supposed to be ripe when they turn a bit apricot in color and the heat of a Hab, that explains the low heat when I tried a Purple one, thought that's when their ripe. Haven't tried another on yet.

My Roatan Pumpkin Habaneros are coming along real nice, nice pumpkin color, havent tried them yet, have them inside in hoping their going to ripen nicely. since its cool outside the peppers not ripening much.
The Red Habaneros also gorgeous, picked a couple already but have not tried them, soon
