OnlyPeppers 2023

It should be a good year for growing peppers. My goal is to find the most productive varieties that thrive in the Texas heat. The growlist will consist of mainly Annuums but there will be a couple non-Annuums here and there. I'll post the official growlist later. Cheers!

After finding out most of my seed stock had gone bad, I decided to have some fun with what's left. I took the remainder of my Aji Dulce (Peru) seeds and let them soak in rainwater for 48 hours. The plan was to let the seeds soak and then plant in a pot as a last attempt. Today when I looked at the seeds closely, I noticed one had already sprouted! I decided to just change out the water and let them keep soaking. I'll change the water every couple of days for now. I put the one seed that germinated in a peat pellet, let's hope for the best.

You're going to have 200 sprouts, I guarantee it.

This experiment is a dud. The one germinated seed never popped up after planting. Even with frequent water changes there is no signs of anything else germinating in the cup. *Misson aborted*

You got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em, know when to walk away, know when to run.

Just ordered Datil seeds from 2 different sources and Aji Dulce seeds from Puerto Rico. These will be the last seeds I buy for now. Time to stop buying and start growing.

I'm still waiting for the rocoto seeds from Canada and have a few low to no heat varieties to drop, then I'm done. Gotta put the grow tent together tonight, just arrived today.

For 'now'?

For 'now'?

Yes I like to live in the moment. That moment is over so back to buying seeds

The Peruvian Cerezo really stands out from the crowd. It’s darker than the other peppers and the leaves seem a little thicker. It’s not trying to stretch and is happy growing in the canopy of the other plants. This baccatum should grow small peppers that look similar to pequin but possibly bigger. Not much info out there other than what’s on Texas Hot Pepper website : “South American variety that is rarely seen outside of local South American towns. Baccatum variety, great for culinary use.”
