I've enjoyed browsing this forum for several weeks and finally signed up. I grew about 30 C.annums for pickling (lactofermentation) several years ago and they did ok. The ones grown close together did best, seeming to prefer the shade they provided one another.
I now have my own place and am growing about 75 peppers, including about 20 C. chinense*. Kind of worried about growing them in my climate, but willl experiment placing them where they'll get some shade in the afternoon, and I have several self-watering containers that I can move around. May also plant companion plants to help shade them (okra!).
Anyway, glad to be aboard.
*3 Carolina Reaper
3 chocolate Scotch Bonnet
3 chocolate habanero
3 fatali
4 yellow 7 pot
2 Naga Morich
2 Trinidad Scorpion Large
