My pepper patch lacks oganisation. After a few failed attempts, I was going to abandon the idea of growing peppers this season. I've had problems with bad soil and with several pest infestations - personal motivation was not at a very high level anymore. But then, a few weeks ago, I just felt that urge... So I started sowing again, and several plants have made it to the juvenile stage. There are some superhots (new as well as traditional crosses), some I've grown before (
chacoense, ají Guyana), local heirlooms, ... I've also started a "Oaxaca" project, sowing seeds I obtained during a recent visit there.
The clutter below shows most of the juvenile plants. I still have to assign them their final position, at some indefinite point in the future (the famous
mañana concept in practice). The pepper in the large container at the left (against the fence) is 7P Nebru. Sadly, it was attacked by thrips and I had to spray. No close inspection for four days, and already completely run-over...
Jump-started Fatalii Brown, making preparations to impress me in a few weeks time.
Capsicum chacoense, too slow... (but it survived a broad mite infestation).
Some of the younglings: 7P Primo, jalapeño (Fox Big), and Lal Mirch.
