Plants are looking great, nice job on the diy greenhouse did you use recycled wood?

 

[ABKorhonen]

^ Actually, I and my father built that last summer. We used mostly recycled materials.

As early as now, it's quite cool here in Finland. I started to bring my plants to indoors.

Greenhouse

I brought Trinidad bush (C. annuum) indoors and planted it to bonsai pot few days ago.

C. baccatum 'Blondie'. I like this plant and I will definitely overwinter it. I removed 2/3 of leaves before bringing it indoors.

C. pubescens 'Manzano Rojo', flower.

Manzano Rojo, Lombardo, Lemon Drop and CGN 21500.

CGN 21500 produces huge amount of pods!

Capsicum lanceolatum's flower.

Now I'm trying to germinate C. tovarii seeds.

 

[ABKorhonen]

The huge pod of Capsicum flexuosum. It was delicious...

ABKorhonen,
My best friend from school was from Finland. He moved back years ago while he could still get his citizenship back. Still in touch with him, thanks to technology we talk all the time. Been trying to turn him into a pepperhead, without luck. Not going to stop trying! Alway foward him links of anything Finnish pepper related, your blog now too!
You have an amazing selection! Beatiful flowers on those wilds.
thanks for sharing.
Take care
