2020 Grow Log-
I am a novice still, but learning a ton and thought it would be fun to document my success and FAILURES. It might prevent others from falling into the same traps I have.
Goals for 2020: Grow tons of varieties of peppers so I can try them all and really hone in on what types I really love and what types I wont bother with in future years. This is truly the year of exploration into this wonderful hobby. I also plan to harvest seeds so that I can save money next year! Shout out to all members who also generously sent me seeds or did trades with me this winter!!
Challenge of 2020: I am moving in the spring/summer! This list is daunting to say the least considering my circumstances, but I must try anyway! I do not expect insane/giant plants. Unfortunately this circumstance for 2020 means that I have no choice but to grow in nothing but 3 gallon pots. This is far from ideal, but I dont have a choice. I wont be using my raised beds for anything this year! Going back to my goal though, I simply need to gain some fruits to try many peppers and harvest some seeds. I hope to keep everything alive to accomplish this goal and chalk up 2020 as a success if that happens!

So I enlarged my garden and spread them all around the perimeter. The picture is taken from the roof of my house! They aren't as large as I would like yet. That being said, I am not expecting a whole lot from them anyways. Since this is an exploration year, I only have them in 3 gallon containers and potting mix from LAST YEAR. I did not even fertilize them yet. I will bubble a worm casting tea this weekend though. They should be looking pretty nice in about a month (all things considered). I did lose a couple more varieties due to rabbits including one that I was super excited for: AJI Charapita and Aji Crystal 
A woodchuck/groundhog chewed through my fencing today too and I haven't checked for damage yet 
Pretty soon I will take an actual count of live potted plants and start making records of everything I would want to remember about each variety to help me hone into what I like and what grew the best in my area.
