Hello everyone,
Second season hot pepper grower.
Zone 7a (Poland). Starting fresh this year, last years crops got decimated by aphids. Made the mistake of not cutting them down and removing the soil for over wintering.
Last year had some success with Aji yellow and some red Carolina Repears. Fixing my mistakes and starting a lot earlier this year. Hope I get in a lot of wisdom from here and improve.
For this season:
- Habaneros (red, yellow, chocolate) kept those from last years and started to early.
- Fresno peppers.
- Primotali, Carolina reapers, Borg 9, Dragon Breath, Halloweens Eve, Scorpions (seed order in image).
Starting off in a small tent with UV/vent, then gonna get them outside on a terrace under a large 10m2 plastic tunnel. Idea was to plant the best in 80-90 litre containers, and go with 25 litre for the slower ones. With some extra lighting, heating backup if needed on cloudy days or cold nights . Probably gonna happen in late April depending on the weather of course.
