PaulG 2014

Grow List 2014 - Many new varieties and a few repeaters.  
This is the third year of my original three year plan to grow a slew of different
types to see what grows well here before settling on some consistent performers.  
I'd love to grow some of the new varieties from this season again, and some more
of my favorites from 2012, but not enough space.  But I have seed for my favorites for
season 2015, so I have something to look forward to already!  
 
Major goal for season 2014 - lay in a good supply of super hot powder!

germinated planted in it:

Just a quick update on the wild Texas Tepins.  This one has the most ripe pods; all will have to go to the greenhouse when and if I need space for starts in party cups:

I'll be firing up the aerogarden with some chinense seeds in about 10 days!

I'm looking forward to following your aerogarden grow.

 

[PaulG]

I'm looking forward to following your aerogarden grow.

I'm still an amateur with the Aerogarden, but it is a great tool, especially
for those in warm climates where plants can be started year-round.  It
is fun to mess with, though!

 

[organic pepper]

I've always been curious about aero gardening. Hope you have fun with that. Is your aero garden a dyi?

I've always been curious about aero gardening. Hope you have fun with that. Is your aero garden a dyi?

It is a commercial product, distributed by Miracle Grow.  
There are pics of it on my glog, as well as on several other
member's grow logs.  King Denniz uses them a lot, and
Romy6, just to name two.  They are neat little units, but
spendy unless you catch a sale.

Sweet haul Paul!
Will you have used them all before next years harvest?!

 

[PaulG]

Sweet haul Paul!

Probably not, but I've given a bit over half of it away  

 

[PaulS]

Probably not, but I've given a bit over half of it away  

 
Me neither! I had to give loads of plants away, I've told myself not to over do it this year. I won't listen.

 

[PeriPeri]

Hats off to you Paul, it has been a totally awesome year your side I see. Wishing you all the best for 2015 my friend

Thanks, Lourens!  Hoping your own season finishes strong in SA.
 
Okay, one last update, then it really is curtains!  I'll start my 2015 grow log soon.
 
The c. rhomboidium has gone completely bonkers.  I measured it at 68" yesterday, so had
to take some drastic action since it was almost touching the peak of the greenhouse:

 

 
The bon chi Fatali is putting on some new growth.  Lots of little
green bumps on the trunk and branches that are hard to see in
this picture:

 
The c. chacoense stem from last year's plant has started to put
out some new growth:

 
The volunteer c. chacoense and the c. rhomboidium cutting:

 
See everyone in 2015!  
 
        HAPPY NEW YEAR!       

 

[Devv]

Hope you had a spectacular Christmas Paul!
 
And Happy New Year!

 

[Blister]

It's probably for the best that you cut that chili back. I saw a documentary called Jack the Giant Slayer and you don't want to mess with what may climb down that thing!

Looking forward to your next grow.

And Happy New Year!   Woot!  

We did, indeed, Scott, thank you.

I was thinking it might push the greenhouse roof off    
Looking forward to your next grow.

Neil

 
Thanks, Neil. Hope you are enjoying the holidays.
See you in the glogosphere!

 

[Jeff H]

Paul, thanks for your generosity. Love the powders. The scents and flavors are out of sight. Can't wait to see what you come up with next. Have a great New Year.

Hey, Jeff.  Glad they made it on time for the New Year!
 
Enjoy, my friend, and Happy New Year to you and your family.

That is one tall plant!
Happy new year Paul
