Hi guys, thought I would make my own thread here rather than keep clogging up the great kiwi pepper thread..
Its a bit late as we are half way through our season..but anyway..here's a couple pics of how things are shaping up.
This year I have many unlabeled volunteers so will be interesting to see what I end up with in a couple months time.
some plants.. here we have some bhutlah crosses iv been working on for a few years (starting to look mean, will post pics later)..some wild bird peppers from jiji, a few pubes, a brain strain, and im not really sure what else...a douglah, a large thick cayenne is in there.. oh and a volunteer tomato and rosemary
here an aji verde that survived the winter...went through a bad patch a little while back but is doing ok now..is pretty big (picture does not show it well), but its got loads of pods on there. Probably have 5 or so aji verde volunteers as well
on the weekend I potted up 11 x hybrids. I think they are douglah x annum of some sort. excuse the state of the pots lol..the dogs like to chew them sometimes..ah well they will do!
I reuse the same soil (in pots) year after year...what I do to prepare the old soil for new plants is, add some organic stuff (dynamic lifter / compost), add a tea spoon of trace elements, a sprinkle of flowers of sulphur, and a bit of slow release fert..whatever floats your boat. I used osmocote in the pots below.
some hybrids that have turned out green
some purple ones
just because people like to see pods...I did have loads of rocotos..but they were looted by rats a week or so ago..dont think ill have the same problem with the supers. Still have a few left but 90% were taken
iv got some pretty mean looking pods happening now..will post some pics of those later
