Hello everybody! I'm late again to the adventures of pepper growing. Seeds didn't hit the towel until March 6, so I have some still below, some hooks, and some little plants. Not too much to look at right now but how about a growlist.

And here's the whole lot. I don't have much room...just what I can fit under a card table.

Thanks for stopping by!

Some great pics and amazing pods you have there. The dark and purple pods and plants are really something else.

Looking good [emoji106]. We finally got some rain up here also[emoji16]. The grass on my septic field has been brown since early June.

Those plants look phenomenal and great camera work also. Nice job on the crosses I have never seen or heard of some of them.

Thank you very much! Most of the purple varieties this year came from Mojo in Italy. Some of them go through some great color changes. Thanks, again!

 

Looking good brother!

  
Thanks, Andy! A little later than normal, but they're starting to load up now.

I hear that...less mowing...which I'm all for. Lol.

Thank you, Lexx! Did I not send you some of the varieties that you see? I'll gladly send whichever you need.

Wow, Brandon! Looking good! Those will be some hhhhot mofo's! Here's how my F2 clone is doing this year.

It's actually one of the better plants out there...and it's in a pot. lol. Nice stuff, my friend!

 

[Bhuter]

I'm kinda excited for both of my plants of my Black Naga x Peri-Peri F2 plants this year. They are both a little different. Here's a pic of how the F1 looked last year.

They were a little bigger than a normal Peri-Peri, but grew like a frutescens. This year, one plant looks identical to the original Peri-Peri. Here's a flower.

And the pods.

The other plants' flower:

One pod...with a twin in the background.

Reaper

Monster Apocalisse

Caramel BBG7

Purple Ghost Scorpion lightening up to green. I like this variety. All the pods are uniform and look just like a Moruga.

Ramirez Stinger

PDN x 7 Pot Caramel F1

Brown Moruga

Chocolate Primo

A fair amount of Sugar Rush Peach

And an explosion of Cappuccino Scotch Bonnets

 

[Walchit]

Those last couple plants are loaded down!

 

[alkhall]

Looks like plants are kicking it into overdrive.
 
Great pics.

This is the cinder f2 pheno that is the most interesting on my plant. Not sure which color it's going to go either. Phenos are all over the place though and I'm not sure which one I'm going to pick. These are 2 different pods.

Here are a few more examples.

 

[Bhuter]

Very nice, Brandon!!!!

Time for a rant.

Well, I think I've had enough of peppers. Another sh!tty growing season for me. I have plants that have like ten pods, and most plants have like 2. I'm done. Can't get away from the damn color-sucking stink bugs. They're on every single plant. I'll have a bumper crop late because things are JUST NOW starting to flower. Blah. Bah frickin' humbug! I'm just over it. Too much work for something that nobody uses. I don't even eat heat very often anymore. Heat is more of an annoyance than anything, to me. Looking at others' gardens makes me wonder why I bother. All of the plants I see are huge...and I have pea-shooters. I'm just a bitter old man. Sooooo, I may just disappear and pull up the whole garden.

Thank you all for following along and for the awesome advice, sauces, pods, seeds, kindness.....everything that makes this community great. I hope everybody has better luck than I've had.

Those plants look great to me and the cappy SB sure is loaded. I think we all have have some plants with only 5 or 6 pods but I typically would show only the better of the bunch. I grew 35 plants and 10 to 12 are loaded and the rest are dismal at best. lol
      Adam I enjoy glog and like to see your weekly progress so hang in there you still have quite a few weeks to re-coup on the slow producers.

 

[Walchit]

I got a bunch of "color" sucking bugs too. I keep hoping my stuff will start throwing more pods soon. Your cinder plants are doing better than most other plants in my garden too.

 

[BSH]

I almost bailed on growing this year Adam but gave it another try. I've had a good year but I don't eat much heat anymore myself. It's a lot of work too, but somehow I just keep at it. Some of my plants have 1 or 2 pods whereas others are loaded. Had a bunch turn out wrong this year for some reason too. Very frustrating! It's been so hot that I think it stunted my plants for a while too.

I'd be sad to see you go but that's up to you! Maybe next year, just grow a few that you might actually eat or have a season of sweet peps. Mix it up!

Adam,
 
Do not give up. I know it is probably too late this year, but you need a bunch of Praying Mantis to control those stinkbugs.

Adam you can't throw in the towel ... we all have poor seasons whatever the issue weather, bugs, animals .... you have the best pods especially your SB7J which in my polytunnel is doing well on the other side your Cinder is a large healthy plant but I only have a small single pod ... unfortunately that's chilli life

 

[Bhuter]

YOU GUYS ARE THE GREATEST!

Sorry for the rant yesterday...''twas a bad day in pepper land. Thank you all for your support and your kind words. It really helps me a lot. I just get frustrated when I have terrible results and others are killin' it. Thank you very much!!!!

On a lighter note:
I have a nice surprise in the garden. The purple flower BBG that was supposed to ripen to red, ripened to a peachy-orange color. More orange but a fantastic color!!! Here it is on the left next to this PeachGum v3.

I'm lovin' the color!

Here's today's mini pull.
Cinder F2, PDN x Bonds Ma Jacques, Cinder F3, Haskorea,
PDN x 7 Pot Caramel F1, Purple Flower BBG (orangey), Peach Clavo x Pink Tiger, Cappuccino Scotch Bonnet,
PeachGum v3, OrangeGum TigerMAMP (ripened red)

If it all fits in an SFRB, I wanna sell this pull today. Any takers? Say $18?

 

[Bhuter]

Thanks again for all of the great things you pepperheads said. I certainly do appreciate it.
