First Peppers of the Season.......

Pepperfreak · Apr 10, 2008

I wanted to share with everyone my first Peppers, Hot Hungarian. I went ahead and re-potted it in a much bigger pot. In fact I think it will probably stay in this pot for the duration of the season.

I have also included a picture of a habanero plant that I recently transplanted to a bigger pot. So far everything that I have potted up is looking extremely happy.

Also...Here is why I say I'm pulling my hair out chasing my plants in the small space that I have...I have definitely outgrown this space (no pun intended...LOL) and plant out time can't come fast enough...I have become a contortionist to water everyone...LOL

They look great, congrats!

I'm sure it's a lot of work keeping them all fed and happy, but you'll be rewarded soon!

I haven't started hardening off yet. So the only light these plants have seen is that of my Fluorescents. I am only using Walmart special 4 foot cool white "Daylight" bulbs, nothing fancy...

This has me thinking about which one will be my first pepper of the season. When it ripens, I'm going to eat it right off the plant, whole...mmmm...peppery goodness....

Well, if it is, then I will eat it whole. Three of four of the Bhut's have popped up recently.

Looks like my first one might be a Pimiento Padron or Jalapeno... Shouldn't hurt too much!

Looking great! How did you pollinate them?

I am very, very thankful that I'm not having that opposite problem...Although, I did have my moments of stressing out over various anomalies...LOL

I think that they got pollinated by the fan plus all of the handling I do. I think it was accidental pollination...LOL
