MeatHead 2014

Thought I'd start a new glog as my 1st year grow plants have now gone, and all remaining plants are intended for the 2014 season. Currently have growing with hopes of keeping through winter-
Yellow bhut jolokia
Brain strain
Aji limon
Chocolate Trinidad scorpion
Fatalii
Black Hungarian
Chinese 5 colour.
Have all healthy plants bar 1 out of 6 inch pots and in either permanent or semi permanent homes. Due to messing up the labels I'm not sure which is which on the Chinense varieties. Have 1 seedling that was seriously struggling, but it's starting to throw out new leaves so there's hope for it yet. Hoping we either have a mild Winter here, or I can get some lights set up in our spare bedroom to get them through until Spring. Have a few more varieties I have yet to plant, but thinking I may wait til the end of January to start those seeds. 
 
Anyway, enough babbling. On to some pics!
Green pot is an Aji Limon, bag TBD Chinense, Venus fly trap and pitcher plant on the cooler in the back, cayenne I'm trying to decide whether to OW or not in the red pot and some cilantro in the cup

Another couple of TBD Chinense's and the struggling seedling that's popping back (over watering was the cause I think)

If you are still planting the red MOA's you should posty up on the community glog I just started!
  
Definitely still growing it! Love me some bonnets. As soon as I start seeds I'll post some updates in there for sure.

Have a great Thanksgiving Chris!
Thanks Scott! Working 6-2 for double time, and dinner at my in laws doesn't start til 4 so win win! Hope you and your family have a great Thanksgiving too!
Time for a quick update. Had Monday off so headed back to my local Mexican grocer for some more manzano's as a gift for windchicken. Found these bad boys mixed in with the regular orange habaneros while I was there. Being only 1 year or so into the pepper world I'm unsure if these are a red hab variant, or something else. Closest I've seen so far to these are the congo reds off the plant I received from windchicken.

Still have no idea if these are something to worry about in the garden or nothing to worry about. Crawfish making themselves at home in the raised bed

Turnips and cabbage are coming along nicely. Already picked 1 turnip, and the rest aren't far off. The better half loved it grated into her salad!

Left a few unripened pods on my OW'S when I brought them in, and looks like I may be ready for another small harvest

Got late season MoA's? I do!

New starts are doing good. 6/6 on the radishes, 2/6 on the lettuce and 2/6 on carrots so far. Unfortunately on the warmer days my wife likes the air conditioner on so I think the cooler temps are slowing the rest down a bit. Getting a heated germinator soon so won't have to worry about that for much longer
