i really wish i could grow this in the 18gal hydro tote! LOL if i can get a brain strain to reach 7' tall 7' wide and something like 15+lbs of peppers i can only imagine what this is going to do!

Count me in, Jamie. Just ordered seeds from Judy and not gonna "Elton" nor soprano Kev. :party:

New garden space, lots of humus. Hmm. Be fun! :dance:

Annie I have free seeds if you can cancel. Everyone else if you have not had a pm let me know .

Glad we're doing this one. Awesome plant. Grew it last year for the first time. Huge plant with crazy production. Tiny peppers that taste almost like a Bhut with the heat of Tabasco.

Mine grew well over 7ft last year in one of the smaller (45gal) fabric containers.

I would not expect any less from a master grower such as yourself! :high:

Lol...one of the "smaller" 45 Gallon containers...

Im actually doing most of my peppers in ground this year. Have to till a new plot, and have a LOAD of mulch waiting and ready

Hey, I like big pots and I can not lie...you other growers can't deny.

All I can say guys is: BE READY TO PICK...this thing is nuts

My entry in last years contest was a dismal failure, but maybe if I try it in a container in a more protected location, I'll have better luck this year.

What they heck, count me in, if you think the seeds would arrive before the 14th ...

Peter S · Feb 1, 2014

I'd like to be in on this as well. Thanks!

Shane. With the birgit I don't think you can sneak it from her

Can I soak the seeds overnight before Feb 14? Or maybe in a paper napkin before that even?

This is a pretty relaxed event. I think people soaked them the night before last year,just plant them on the 14th to be fair.. A soak overnight is not going to change the outcome,it is a marathon of a contest. The only real rule is to post pics,good,bad,or ugly.There was some seed nabbing last year,and that is lame.

I'm interested in giving this a try if possible.

ThePepperManiac · Feb 2, 2014

Im in! I don't have seeds for this one though.

Roguejim · Feb 2, 2014

I'll give it a good shot since I think I'm the only one in my neck of the woods. i'll keep my fingers crossed that a swarm of locust takes out Pepper-Guru's 7-footer! Just kidding...

with any luck, she should get much bigger this year. She'll likely be in the ground under a mound of fungi laden mulch!

All things considered, I think it is the weather in the South, more than anything else, that contributes to not only your own plants massive growth and consequent poddage, but just about every plant I've seen grown there. You guys have a leg up, no doubt.

What tha hale

Haha...I am only growing two small inground plots of peppers this year. even though I have added a couple here and there and with this one I think I will be at 8 varieties. Still a very small grow compared to the past couple years. I have two exact locations picked out for this one. I will stick them in there with my wilds and she'll never know... :liar

Sorry Hon, that one must have been a volunteer...
