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!

Nice looking pods! Congrats on your first Pubescens pod.

 

[Bhuter]

Nice work there Adam!
 
It's nice to get those harvests after all the hard work, yes?

Thank you, Scott! You're right about that! At times you think you won't get much, then BAM, you're capsaicin comfortable. Lol. I'm excited for chili and salsa. It's just hard to decide which pepper(s) to use.

 

[Bhuter]

Nice haul, Adam! Beautiful pods, especially that Cinder in the middle!

Thank you very much, Mike! I couldn't be happier with the shape, texture, and color of that variety this year. I hope it continues to be consistent.

 

[Bhuter]

Your Brainstrain and brown morugas look like convicted murderers to me 
 
Awesome work and congrats on the caramel cinder selections you are making

Haha! Both of those varieties certainly feel like they have that capability. Lol. Killer cramps! Thank you for your positive feedback about the Cinder cross. I'm so stoked about it this year.

Thank you, Dale! That Aji Oro was fantastic! Crunchy and extremely juicy. Great, comfortable burn. And that plant is loading them up, as is the Brown Rocoto. Woohoo!

 

[Bhuter]

Glad to see poddage for you my friend! They look awesome!

Thank you, Brandon! Those Pumpkin BBG are bigger than I thought they'd be. And the plant is setting left and right. I should have a decent amount of pods from that little guy. Thanks again!

Great looking pods. Finnaly got time to catch up with your glog and it's a lot to see. Many more these kind of harvests till the end of the season to you, Adam!

Thank you very much for your positive outlook, Uros! I hope I'll have decent little harvests from here on out. They look like they're starting to load more on right now...I just hope there's enough time for them to finish out. I don't usually expect first frost until the middle of October or later...but you never know. Thanks again!

Things are certainly slow to ripen. It was in the 40's this morning. Looks like 70's for highs and 40's-50's for lows the next couple of weeks. It's still August, right?! But I did pull off a few Peach Bhuts.

The 2 outside pods are stunning phenos Adam. Nice colour as well. [emoji106]

Thank you, Sim! I got seeds for these from Wicked Mike in 2015. They have a great flavor! Gonna make some awesome powder!

 

[Bhuter]

Here are a few pics of a couple plants I have of Black Naga x Peri-Peri F1. The first one is the only plant I have in a Pot (except some small plants that I couldn't let die)...everything else is in-ground.

It's really flowering right now and if you zoom in, you can see the small pods. That's about the size of them.

No color yet, but these are pods on the potted plant.

These are on the in-ground plant. Most of them look like little claws on both plants. But this one is a little different.

 

[BSH]

Very interesting cross my friend!

Thank you! I'm hoping it turns brown/chocolate. But F2 next year will probably be totally different.

Another small harvest.

Aji Fantasy Yellow

Aji Jobito

Does anybody know how to tell when these are ripe?
Pimenta De Neyde

 

[Devv]

I guess my Pimenta De Neyde are nots. Never grew them before. Mines a green leaved plant    

 

[stickman]

Whew! It took me a week between chores to get caught up on your glog Adam... there's definitely no moss on you! I love your garden setup with the black plastic mulch. Do you use low row covers to further extend your season? What are you doing with all that heat? Sauces? Powder? Cooking food?
 
Keep up the good work... I like the way you roll!

That's a bummer. If you want some seeds from these pods, I can send you some as soon as I figure out when they're ripe. Lol. I also have to buy more seed bags.

Thank you, Rick! I don't do anything special, I just use the plastic and that seems to extend the season by itself. Maybe it's just me, but I think it keeps the soil warm longer than without.

I like to make chili, salsa, and the past few years, I've just been cutting my pods in half and air drying them. Pods laying on newspaper everywhere. Then, I bag up the half pods in paper bags and label them. I just got a dehydrator. I'm using it as we speak. I usually end up giving away most of my pods...if I can find the people. I'd give away more on here, but I'm always broke and the shipping is an obstacle. Plus, I don't want to step on any vendors' toes by asking for just shipping. Thanks again!

I hear ya on the plastic mulch! I was sold on it a few years ago and I don't think I could grow the long-season chiles here without both it and low row covers in the early season.
 
I like pepper powder for the convenience, but for the last couple of years I've been making cooked sauces and trading them in for gift certificates at a few of the local restaurants. My wife likes the idea of going out to eat without having to bring cash.   Maybe you could do the same?

I tried once to give a local restaurant some fresh pods and they had all kinds of requirements. They wanted non-gmo, organic, and other stuff that I can't verify. I don't really know anything about making sauces, but there sure are a bunch of people here that I could ask. Lol. Isn't there a lot of red tape to go through when supplying sauces to consumers? It's a great idea and I'd love to try it. But it would be all new to me.
