Thanks guys!
So final germ rates:
Avenir: 10/12
7pod primo orange :11/11
Rocoto Cap 363: 9/11
Serrano: 9/11
Zuzqua: 6/11
To be honest i could have waited more for Serrano and Zuzqua (i trashed not germs 10 days ago or so) also i had finished the soil for start seeds so i had to rig things up.
And i've just repot again (2nd time) Cap 363 that are growing... And last Avenir...
I wanted to repot them in smaller pots but it was an hassle to use a pot just a bit bigger.
So i took "next" size available: to around 2 liters that i wanted to 6,5... Specific soil for peppers wasn't enough so i had to throw in some generic one... I guess it won't be a problem.
So half hour ago i started an aggressive campaign with friends and colleagues to give away the one i don't need (i keep just one more avenir, primo orange and serrano for a relative to give them to him ready to plant on ground).
Rocotos have many flower.
In those pictures rocotos are a bit out of shape... Maybe it's too hot. In the morning when it's colder they look better and really good.
On left biggest serrano, on right bigget zuzqua and i'm pretty sure that serrano was born first. I believe that Zuzqua will be a big plant maybe with big pods.
Ok, so for the hike i made chili:
2kg meat, nearly 1 kg onion, 1kg pepper, 4 big carrots, celery, some broth, 1kg or more tomato, 1,25kg beans, spices (cumin, paprika, turmeric, cilantro, black pepper) a bit of heat (calabrese peppers). It was something in the middle of chili, gulash, random stew and ragù...
So in the morning of the next day (yesterday) i put on plastic container probably more than 6kg... We were on 26 and people
really liked that. So much that girls demanded recipe while guys kept interrupting my explanations to tell me that it was good... When i finished the third explanation it was all nearly gone and i was lucky to find some just to taste how was that... It was a bit wet when i ended to cook and luckily it hasn't solidifyed so consistence was good even if it was cold.
Of course i told all that they have been lucky that it wasn't august or heat level would have been different!
Random pic of the day:
Mount Verena. We didn't go for the peak but instructors gave us command of the route... In my group i was the one with the compass so i had to tell direction and soon we lost the way...
We had to go up off trail in fresh snow inside the wood to reach the correct way.
Then descending we spent a couple of hours to simulate an avalanche rescue and it was interesting.
Since there was no danger we descended inside wood with steep off trails with fresh snow, it was so cool.
Next 2 week we should make a 2 days hike in Lagorai, i don't know where exactly but it should be really cool...

What a nice set of pictures. Makes me wanna go to a mountain or two... I see you're pretty active and that's a good thing. Nothing better for the soul than a fit body. Enjoy the nature my friend. And those peppers. The nature in a pot!
Thanks! Rocotos are fine, i just have to see if i'll see some pods...
Those days i'm not that much active during week btw..

Thanks! That time chili, as i suspected while pizza is worst the day after chili is great so best suited for trekking, as Rick said!
