It's my first time doing this, so please correct my mistakes and.. Be gentle.. :)

I started some of the seeds in late 2018 going through to febuary 2019.
Due to harsh weather conditions my plants has only been placed outside recently on a permanent basis.
There is a lot of wind where I live, and in this country the temps have been going up and down - much like how the wind blows..

Some plants have been severely set back by these conditions.
I expect nothing special of my plants - with a few exceptions where som plants have been producing flowers and pods for a while now.

I grow Peppers etc in soil but am using coco coir during the winters, occassionally. Im experimenting with fabric pots to see if they work any better than plastic and to test their durability. I bought them from china in a 3 gal size which is approximately 10 litres for us Europeans.
This year the grow is expanded with common kratky systems made of styrofoam.

My grow list looks like this :

Aji Limo
Aji Pineapple
Black Scorpion Tongue
BOC
Bolsa de Dulce
Bonda Ma Jacques
Brazilian Moruga
California Reaper (Reaper x JPGS)
Caramel BBG7
Caramel TSMB - this one dates back to 2017
Carbonero
Cayenne
CGN 21500
CGN 21566
Chocolate Reaper
Chocolate SB x?
CP 115
Douglah x Chocolate Butch T Scorpion
-El Scorponero? Was labelled as Peach Scorpanero - but I suppose it was mislabelled after reading on this forum.
-
Fidalgo Roxa x Grao de Bode
Peach Reaper x? Dark strain
Peach TSMB
Pimenta da Neyde
Rocoto Cristobal Colombo
White Fatalii
Wild Brazil
XXL Longhorn SLP

I also have a huge Wildtomato Small Egg, some herbs, Cabbage and Strawberry plants.

Aji Pineapple has produced peppers for me throughout the winter this year, so Im happy about it.
XXL Longhorn SLP is producing, along my Cayenne, Cabai Burung Ungu and Bolsa de Dulce.

So far my Carbonero produced 2 ripe pods and it's putting out more buds atm. A very nice Pepper!

BMJ has produced 1 pod which is a Carbonero cross.

Here is a few photos. Keep in mind that my outdoor setup still is a work in progress ;)

Thanks Paul!

Its been good overall even when the weather was troublesome at times :)
I accept the fact that a greenhouse is the way to get a nice crop from the plants.
But I aint complaining. To have multiple superhots producing under those conditions really feels amazing :D

I will definitely have some changes for next season. I will keep you updated if time permits :)

Kudos for a great season, JH! Like everyone this year,
seems there are bright spots, and some not-so-bright  :rolleyes:
 
I guess when we don't grow in the perfect climate, we
have to accept the vagaries of Mother Nature! 
 
Anyway, I am impressed by what the growers in Northern
EU are able to accomplish. Looking forward to see what
you do next season...
 
The heat doesn't seem to do Rocotos much good - if they dont experience cooler temps at night for example.
This season might just have been perfect for outdoor Rocoto growing? :P

Im savning seeds from it so it's no problem sharing them with others

Very interesting with the Rocoto Crisobal Colombo, I've never heard of that variety before. I had a lot of trouble getting pods last time I tried a rocoto variety, maybe they didn't like the inside of my often very hot growtent? :P 
Also very cool with the success of your superhots!
