Hello all,
I am going to try to do a glog with the plants I am over-wintering this year. Last year, all of my OW plants died. I have changed some things this year. I hope to have better luck.
For starters, I picked up another set of lights. I think I will have better lighting all around for all of the plants. Second, I took each plant in and washed the soil from the roots and placed in brand new Happy Frog potting soil. I started watering frequently and have now relaxed the watering schedule to an as needed basis.
Unfortunately, I have an aphid problem. Funny how I never see the aphids on the plants while they are in the garden. But, I have purchased ladybugs and they are fixing the problem as I speak. Once the aphids are gone, I will post pictures of the plants.
I am over-wintering 15 plants this year. I chose plants that were either producing the best or ones that I really wanted to give another chance to. Some plants were grown from seed. Others were purchased. The list is:
Plants that I had purchased from Refining Fire Chiles:
Bahamian Goat
Chocolate Habanero
Chocolate Scotch Bonnet
Devil's Tongue
Plants that I had purchased from the local nursery:
Bhut Jolokia
Plants that I grew from seed from Pepper Lovers:
7 Pot Primo
Yellow Brain
Plants that I grew from seed from Fatalli.net
Black Naga
Gourmet Jigsaw Fatalli
White Fatalli
Plants that I grew from seed from Pepper Joes:
7 Pot Douglah
Red Peter Pepper
Pumpkin Habanero
Plants that I grew from seed from Baker's Creek:
Goat Horn
Caribbean Red Habanero
I thought it would be nice to list the vendor's that I purchased these seeds from, but I also purchase seeds from other vendors and forum folks that are awesome. Just because I didn't save plants grown from seed from the other vendors doesn't mean that I don't love them.
I hope to have pics up in a day or so. All suggestions or recommendations are always welcome and appreciated.
