I started my seeds in early February and continued starting seeds until April...just couldn't stop starting new varieties...again. I always take the cheap route and use plain old Miracle-Gro potting soil. It has always worked for me. I also start my seeds in paper towels then transfer them straight to 4 inch pots (I thought they were 3 inch, but they're 4). I use a 125w CFL for lighting and I usually grow around 30 plants. Here's the beginning.

I had crappy soil before this pic and some of these are bare-root transplants. But I did lose one...Chocolate Primo. It just looked funky after transplant.

Here they were just before plant out. Pic taken on May 4...with the addition of a few new seedlings and maters.

Peppers planted out May 10.

Then I ran into the bugs. The flippin' bugs. Judging by the damage, I'm guessing broad mites.

But I soaped then neemed a couple times and things are looking up. I'll have to get a pic of what that plant (Goatsweed) looks like now. This is the latest pic with the addition of the nursery veggies.

That'll probably do it for now. Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks, Sim! Great idea with the bonnets and/or 7 Pot. I was thinking of throwing a BOC in it to try and "fruiten" it up a little. I'm not great in the kitchen. It's all trial & error for me.
BOC is a superb choice, fruity nice flavour and will add a kick. Sounds good to me buddy.

Great looking harvest.

I like the C. Chacoense. How do they taste? Tepin, Pequin flavor?

Pimenta Leopard and Peach Bhuts are very good looking as well.
Thank you, Chuck! I haven't tried Tepin or Pequin...the only thing I've had that's close is Peri-Peri (Frutescens), and I think they are similar. The heat is up there for its size and it's stingy/prickly plus it gives you oven-throat. I just ate one and it gave me the hiccups. Tongue and throat burn. Sorry, but I don't know how to describe the flavor. I'm too focused on the heat. Lol. They're pretty good but FULL of seeds.

Good luck with the air layering! I read up on a while back and really want to try it.
Thank you, Scott! It was actually easier than I thought. The hardest part for me is keeping the dirt in place while wrapping Saran Wrap tightly around a stem. I've been putting a pile of the soil on one end of the Saran Wrap. Then push it up against the score, squeeze a little and wrap. Difficult on a vertical stem. You kinda need three hands. Lol. I'll check Thursday or Friday to see if anything is happening.
 
Nice, it's been a couple weeks since I clicked on your glog I guess! Seems like all my plants are putting out smaller pods, even my tomatoes are smaller. Looks like you are getting some good sized pods still!
