Here in Upstate SC, about 150 miles from you, I've got much the same thing going on with my seedlings and overwinters. Thanks again Mike for sending the Serrano and Pasilla Bajio seeds.

Well, we have had a little warm weather in the Atlanta area but I'm hoping for a good warming trend next week. I'd like to see those evening temperatures consistently above 50° F. At this point, I've planted Habaneros, Jalapeños and Serranos in ground. Some others already outside in containers are Moruga, Reaper, Thai Orange Fogo, Fatalii, Tabasco, Yellow 7-Pot and Bhut Jolokia Assam. I've given neighbors on both sides plants but I don't have the slightest hope that they will nurture them. Oh well.
Cuttings from a particular Habanero favorite from last year are in the ground now but look like hell. They need some sun and warmth. Basically, everything else looks fabulous. I've still got a huge inventory of plants under the lights. Overwintered plants are outside now too but only a few leaves so far. Going to surprise a couple more friends that gave me pods last year with some hardy seedlings in the next week of so.
I've passed this group of ten plants to my friend John K. this morning. Now I'm down to about a dozen left to give away. I've given away over a hundred seedlings this spring. That is fun.
I have 35 plants of my own out now (and have given away well more than 100 plants). With some sunshine and warm weather finally arriving in Georgia, my plants are beginning to make some progress.
Great list and plants looking awesome, question on last pic link post. Is the Orange Hab pot buried into the ground and why? Or is that some optical illusion o_O
Alas, it is true. The bucket actually has no bottom. 1/3 of it is buried. It's an experiment intended to 1) foil slugs, 2) conserve moisture and 3) take advantage of space.
