So these are some pics of my plants this year. I transplanted them outside maybe two-three weeks ago. The ones in pots are in a mixture of compost, peat, and Promix organic. They are doing great. Though seeing some of your guys set ups they should be spitting out peppers by now! The first pic is a pepper I brought back from china. I labeled it facing heaven pepper but it is actually just a regular pepper that was used liberally in schezaun food there. I found some actual Facing heaven peppers at a local chinese market. Ill test them out to see if they are growable for next year. The second shot is a red scotch bonnet. I also have bhuts, two are from my first year two years ago in one pot, and yellow scotch bonnets.
Then there are some pictures of my non potted plants. I wanted to see what you guys thought of the deformed leafs on second to last shot. The new growth is oddly shaped. I dressed the ground with a 50/50 split of topsoil and compost I got at Natorps. I don't know if I aerated the soil beneath it enough as it tends to be very compacted clay. Ive never ventured into fertilizers much and wondered what would be a good recommendation. I guess it might have to be tailored to the deficiency in the in ground deformed plants but what about a general purpose fert? I have some old blood meal I used for other plants...? Fish emulsions?
