Hello! I jut stumbled across this site and thought I should jump in and see what there is to see, share what I can, and learn from fellow chiliheads. I'm in super sunny California and have a modest grow this year consisting of 25 chili plants and 8 tomato plants. Here's a rundown of what I am growing:
Toms
1 Jellybean
2 White Bianca
2 Black Zebra
3 Hayley's Purple Comet
Peppers
4 White Habanero
3 Bhut Jolokia
3 Trinidad Moruga Scorpion
2 Red Scotch Bonnet
2 Carolina Reaper
2 Satan's Kiss
3 Fresno Red
2 Chi Chein
2 Jwala
2 Anaheim
All raised from seed starting in January on an indoor grow. I had 70+ at first, but gave some starters to friends and family, and sold a dozen of them to Grocery Cafe, a Burmese restaurant opening in the Tenderloin district of San Francisco. (and lost a few, of course) All organic. They were hardened and potted up, then into the raised wicking beds. A blend of turkey compost with clean topsoil gave me a pH of 7.09 and 1.93% nitrogen. Should work nicely.
I was going to include a couple photos, but photobucket won't load right now for some reason. I'll work on that. Maybe they are down for maintenance.
Anyway, I have tremendous growth on my tomatoes, strong on the peppers (some are being a little lazy still, but it's early in the season). A couple ripe fruits, one of my Satan's Kiss which was just a fantastic little pepper, and a Fresno I picked today that was delicious, and had a much stronger heat signature than store bought pods.
That's it for now. I'll be around. And I will get some photos up as the grow continues.
Keep it spicy.
