Guru's Garden - Traveling the World in Search of Peppers

Just starting this glog now so it's one less thing to do in a few months when I'm knee deep in compost and getting things in the ground.
 
Not much to report at the moment. Strains yet to be determined, but I'll probably end up growing too many like always...lol
 
 
Only thing that's going on right now is a clean back patio and the chickens doing their part turning over my compost pile on the daily. Intersted in seeing how the soil microbes appreciate the added chicken poop!

Hope everyone has had a decent winter so far and here's to happy germination!

EDIT UPDATE: This glog has turned into an ongoing overwintering, greenhouse and soil building how-to!

Sure did go nicely with some early morning coffee and a stroll on the beach there in Mirissa, Sri Lanka.

Wow! It's dark! It does look pretty dank, though. Do you ever try your hand at cultivating some of the greatness you encounter?

Beautiful picture! Sublime!
 
Decided to join in on this facebook craze "pepper in a can challenge" guess the rules are we post updates and in the end, everyone submits one photo. Photo with the most likes wins...so...likely a popularity contest (you know how i feel about that) but seems interesting regardless...
 
I chose Yatsufusa a heavy clumping annum (much like my Jack Patton Rooster Spur)...so should be neat for the 12 oz soil capacity here

Deeeaaammmmnn! 'Somebody hand me the dressing!' Lol.

Looks like Cos Lettuce, but darker!

Those look kinda like the Bonnet leaves that I've encountered when growing most Bonnet. I wonder why they're so crinkly? Absolutely stellar, Mr. B!

Lemme put that picture in my wallet. NOICE!!!!
 
Guru have you ever been to Bolivia? I'll be going at the end of the year doing some charity work with animals (I'm a veterinary technician) and gonna be doing some fishing for golden Dorado. Staying in cochabamba. I'll definitely be searching the markets for some peppers.

Thanks dude! Prodigal Son shared these with me back in 2014 and for the life of me I can't remember if I grew them out before now. I want to say of course I did but they are certainly standing out to me now.

Done ALL of Peru and was just over the border to Bolivia at one point. If you need a travel buddy for this trip just say the word and I'm there. I'd be down to help with the animals too!
