I started out think I would grow a few Reapers and couple Moruga Scorpions. Then this happened:
Toms
1 Jellybean
2 White Bianca
2 Black Zebra
3 Hayley's Purple Comet
Peppers
4 White Habanero
3 Bhut Jolokia
3 Trinidad Moruga Scorpion
2 Red Scotch Bonnet
2 Carolina Reaper
2 Satan's Kiss
3 Fresno Red
2 Chi Chein
2 Jwala
2 Anaheim
All raised from seed starting in January on an indoor grow. I had 70+ plants at first, but gave some starters to friends and family, and sold a dozen of them to Grocery Cafe, a Burmese restaurant opening in the Tenderloin district of San Francisco. (and lost a few, of course) All organic. They were hardened and potted up, then into the raised wicking beds. A blend of turkey compost with clean topsoil gave me a pH of 7.09 and 1.93% nitrogen. Should work nicely.
Anyway, I have tremendous growth on my tomatoes, strong on the peppers (some are being a little lazy still, but it's early in the season). A couple ripe fruits, one of my Satan's Kiss which was just a fantastic little pepper, and a Fresno I picked today that was delicious, and had a much stronger heat signature than store bought pods.
Today I counted 56 buds on my White Habs, 40 on my Reapers, a dozen on the Bonnets, and too many to count on the remaining varieties. And that's just the peppers. Toms are huge, but buds are slow to start compared to the peppers.
Here is a pic of my modest grow.
Good weather, good soil, good breeze, good nutrients, and self watering beds. This should be a productive season.
Thanks for looking!
