Not so many peppers as most, but very satisfying

This was May 15th.

May 22th

Current:

Red habanero

The red habanero has pods already

2 Chocolate habaneros

Madame Jeanette, a normal growing one, and a stunted one.

Mystery peppers, they were just marked 'chili pepper'

One mystery pepper plant has already 2 ripe peppers.

One of my inside cayennes

And the little ones : Thai, and an extra Madame Jeanette

Edit: forgot this one : Spanish pepper

I've got a mystery stunted pepper, going to give it a couple of weeks to see what it does

Plants are coming along nicely. I notice the
pots multiplied between May 15 and May 22!

I notice the pots multiplied between May 15 and May 22!

Normally, when I come home from work around 5 Pm, I take the inside peppers up to give them some extra 4 hours of direct sun, but some days I'm lazy, and that space is limited too.

Here is an extra picture of the little ones, including my second Cayenne:

and my first ripe outside peppers this year:

NICE!

Space is always an issue... I always start off with a lot of varieties because in the beginning they don't take up any room. But when they become larger I start to realize that there's no room to put them all and with pain in the heart I have to eliminate some of them. Happens every year...

Red habanero is starting to grow many pods

One off the chocolate habanero s has 2 pods already :

The other one only 1 :

Madame jeanette has very tiny pod (you can hardly see it )

And the spanish pepper is also getting productive :

 

[Uncle Eckley]

Indoor Cayenne is especially lovely!

Something is eating my pepper plants. It started with the basil :

and moved out to my pepper plants. Entire branches eaten, but the peppers on it were on the ground

And my stunted Madame Jeanette has opened it first flowers :

And my harvest for this week (the green one is from the eaten branches)

 

[MarcV]

Looks like "something" with a good appetite

Nice harvest though...

 

[Tinkerbelle]

Goodness, something had a damn good chomp
Any idea what it could be?
Good harvest though

 

[francisp]

I suspect mice, but can't be sure.

 

[PaulG]

@francisp - Do you have hornworms there?

 

[Tinkerbelle]

yes it could be caterpillars
I don't know if this will help but I always plant a pot of sacrificial nasturtiums to tempt caterpillars and other chomping insects, once the nasturtiums start looking as though they've been eaten then I take measures and check all the other plants.

 

[francisp]

Well, yesterday I say a giant rat running away. I guess I found the culprit.

Another week-end, so another post.

Madame Jeanette was the last of the C. Chinense to grow pods, but she has produced already more pods then my Chocolate Habaneros :

Chocolate Habanero 1 :

Chocolate Habanero 2 :

Red Habanero :

My mystery peppers :

My Spanish pepper :

My stunted Madame Jeanette :

The little ones are not little anymore :

And my other cayenne :

 

[Tinkerbelle]

they're coming along nicely - I'm still waiting on my cayennes, lots of flowers and small peppers but none ripe yet
What kind of heat are Madame Jeanettes?

 

[francisp]

Heat of a Habanero, but a fruity, citrus-like taste.

 

[Tinkerbelle]

nice, I might give those a go next year

 

[PaulG]

Plants looking great, you will have lots of pods!

Is your 'Spanish Pepper' what they call Guindillas?
Originally from the Basque region, I believe, if that's
the case. Your pods look like them.
