Decided to drop a few seeds in december for next year so decided to start a '24 Glog early.
I'm very lucky in that in addition to a small domestic greenhouse at our house I also have access to a significant space in a commercial greenhouse (our little island used to be the UK's leading tomato supplier but the industry collapsed in the face of cheaper imports from warmer climes so there are a lot of huge greenhouses looking for uses here). In it I grow a lot of perennial stuff that needs a mediterranean climate (or is marginal there) - bananas, figs, tamarillos, various passiflora and my peppers sit interplanted with them. With our mild climate it is possible often to overwinter capsicum of all species in ground in these big greenhouses - not always though so hope for a mild winter!
Taking these into the winter to hopefully overwinter:
Annum
Chiltepin Amarillo
jalapeno lemon spice
jalapeno maylon
jalapeno X purple tiger
Baccatum
Aji melocoton
Chinense
Bahamian Goat
Bhut Orange Copenhagen
Mustard Gum Naga Brain
Pockmark Orange
Pubescens
Chocolate XPS
Oculto CLEF
10 days or so I dusted off the propagator and put in some seeds of
Cardenasii USDA X Cap 500
Eximuum Cap 1530
Flexuosum
Pubescens
Arequipa giant yellow
de La Selva rojo Arequipa
mini olive
Orange giant
Pico mucho
various Rocopica crosses
A couple of Rocoto and Rocopica varieties are up already.....Really excited for 2024!
