Rocoto (Peru)
Aji Escabeche (Peru)
Bolivian Rainbow
Scotch Bonnets

I planted these seeds on X-Mas Eve: Thai Hot, Brn Hab, Car Red so they havent had time to grow yet
 
Some of the ones in the second pic look a little 'leggy', but overall they all look pretty good...

Good luck with them all..
 
Brian, bring your lights to within a few inches of the ones in the black planters. You'll get more leaf growth and less of the plant reaching for the light.
 
I'm gonna be replanting the "leggy ones" and move them to a different window. I have been really busy the last few days with the holdays, work etc. Now I can conentrate on my peppers ;)
 
The kitchen table is no longer used for eating! Its my pepper plant growing station lol

Thanks, I hope this will be a scorcher of a Summer.

I have been asked to write an article for a local publication on growing hot peppers so this is how I will document what I do. I may need to ask some advice from y'all here. I have grown sever peppers in the past but never got into it like have now. I have never overwintered a pepper plant before but I am sure you guys will be able to get me headed in the right direction ;)

A good reporter always cites his sources. A sneaky reporter would quote people from across the US and other continents, leading the editor to believe the reporter is well traveled. It could also allow him to pad his expense account!

Dont worry, any info I get will be credited. I have been writing articles for different publications not in the gardening section for the past few years. In other words, this aint my first rodeo ;)
