Off to the Races! .....
Two rounds of sprouts. First round getting more leaves, but slowly. Second round in seed tray, more sprouts today. 6 for 6 on the Brown Egg. 
Starting this New Year with the overwintering candidates, still need to cut down on some root stock on the larger brown pots. These are 2-yr. and 3-yr Red Bhuts and Habs.
The other stock is half done, but I still have peppers coming, and it has been warm and sunny lately. Sprouts and young plants are coming along nicely. Best of luck to all this 2020!!

These are new for 2020 in the seedling tray:
Brown Egg (mild and sweet)
Goat's Weed (mild and tabasco-shape)
Guadalupe Black (hot)
Ghostly Jalapeno (hot, gnarly pods)
Machu Pichu (hot, brown, gnarly pods)
Chilihuacle Negro (moderately hot, brown, fat)
Vallero (mild, large, long Mex pods)
Negro de Valle (mild, large, long Mex pods)
Ahi Panca Limo (mild?, but Panca and Limo seem to be different phonemes.??)
Plus, in the larger fledgling trays:
Long Thai
Bird's-eye Thai
Long Red Bell (mild, from a neighbor)
7-pot cinder (Super-hot)
Unidentified Brain Strain cross (UBSC) (Sounds super hot)
S. Reaper crossed with pimento (Who knows what this will be)
Ahi Mango (mild?)
Trinidad scorpion
Black cobra
The only fail so far was Brown Reaper.
Hold-overs from 2019:
Yellow scotch bonnets
Red Bhuts
Trinidad Scorpion
Various varieties of habaneros
Jalapenos
Tobasco peppers
Ahi dulce (red)
Lemon drop
Cherry Pepper
Going to be a busy year keeping track of all these. Will probably only have one or two of some varieties, no more than six of anything else. Can't keep up with all that.

Did a bit more graduation of the fledglings to individual pots, and inventoried the sprouts.
Macchu Piccu sprouts = 0.
Ahi Mango = 1.
Negro de Valle = 1
Chilihuaga Negro = 2, but puny.
I still have some seeds for these, and will try another round once I can move the current sprouts. They get too tall for the moisture cover, so I almost need another seed starter (they're cheap).

I just today picked a bunch of caterpillars off my tomato plants. Maybe you have a similar problem. I think I may be south of you a little.Chorizo857_62J said:
No evidence of bugs. I know the squirrels are there, because they dig in the pots looking for stuff. My plan is to have the wife give me a hair cut, and sprinkle the hair (not that there will be a lot to work with) in the pots That kept them away last year. This works for deer in the garden too. On the good side, they just did a great prune job. Looking forward to a nice rebound.
17 January 2020 update:
juvenile plants and sprouts doing well. down to one of four varieties, so crossing fingers on those.
Elysium Oxide Scotch Bonnet
Black Cobra
Unidentified Brain Strain Cross
7 Pot Cinder
Supposed to get freezing temps here Monday and Tuesday, but the forecast keeps jumping around. I will be hauling things into the garage just in case.

Reconsidering the pellet gun option for the squirrels. They chewed up my plants AGAIN.
