PaulG 2019

No grow log for the 2018 season other than the Pimenta de Neyde x Bonda Ma Jacques
thread dedicated to Trippa's cross. That one is an ongoing community project going into
second year and a test of the F7 generation. I imagine I will mention it once-in-a-while in
this thread, but the details of its progress will be in the dedicated thread.
 
I am deciding on a grow list for the 2019 season after growing only Trippa's cross this
season (2018). I definitely have some old favorites that will comprise the great majority
of the grow. I have limited space, so I'm counting on nature to help me make the final
decision. I'll probably start lots of seeds since I'm gun-shy from the poor germination
rates the past couple of seasons.
 
Here's the pool. Would be nice to be able to grow a bunch of all of them!  I think my
neighbor will shelter the overflow in his yard, but we'll see what to plant and how many
based on what might germinate  :rofl:
 
c. chinese - 10 varieties
  • PdN x BMJ, F7, white and violet varieties, Trippa's cross
  • Fatali, F2 of seed from Pepper Joe's
  • 7 Pot Burgundy, brown phenotype, pecan shape from 2017 F2 of the 7PB from Windchicken 
  • Scotch Bonnet, MoA, F2 of seeds from John/Sim, not high production, but some nice pods
  • JA Red Habanero, F5 of seed from Walk Good/Devv
  • Yellow Scorpion, F7 aka Yellow Trinidad Moruga Scorpion and CARDI Scorpion, from Spankycolts plant 2012
  • Bhut Jolokia, Red, F4, from Spankycolts plant 2012
  • Bhut Jolokia, Chocolate, F3 of seed from Georgia Growhead
  • Bhut Jolokia, hybrid, F2 - I believe it is a  (BJred) x (Pdn x BMJ F1 or F2)
  • Yellow 7 Pot, F2 of seed from Trippa 2013
c. annuum - 4 varieties:
  • JA Red Mushroom, F3, brown phenotype, seed from Refining Fire
  • Pimenta de Padron - Spanish seed, fry up while small and green, throw on some salt
  • Pimenta del Piquillo - Spanish seed, sweet, very flavorful, small stuffers
  • Guindilla - Spanish seed, spicy heat, great pickled, long and skinny
c. frutescens - 2 varieties:
  • Nagahari from Tezpur, India, supposedly very, very hot freebie from Pepper Joe's 2017
  • Chili Costa Rica, F2 (2014) from Hippy Seed Company seed, 2012
c. pubescens - 1 variety:
  • Red Rocoto, F3 of Peruvian Market seed, 2016
That about does it. Seeding time will be here before we know it!

this thread has a ton of information on how to and different methods.
 
 
I used this simple kit with good results.
 
Thanks for the link, Scott. I'm just having a
hard time pulling the trigger!

Thanks, Mika!
 
Probably my favorite pepper of all.
 
I can't wait to see the new 'pepper platform' finished!

Thanks a lot, the thread and the Amazon link are super useful! Doesn't seem like it takes much no, just a good harvest of pods and minor equipment; fingers crossed for the former! ;)

its not tough at all.  a couple handfuls of pods and ingredients with the equipment then you'll be on your way.  the worst part is the wait.

you owe it to those beautiful pods to let their tastes shine in a fermented sauce! :dance:
 
you wont regret it.  :onfire:
  
I know! I have been threatening to do it forever

After waiting for summer to arrive this year,
I am learning patience

We are going to eat the Red Rocoto and one of
the Habaneros tonight. I will try to remember pix

It's finished now, haven't moved everything up yet as the planks are still quite wet with the pressure treatment chemicals.
Good for you. Hope you have some vacation
left to enjoy

Any movement on the hot-tub issue?

I have 3 weeks vacation still.
 
Hot tub is stalled due to neighbors stonewalling. They are hoping that I will get tired and drop it but I keep pushing it. Finally they tried to scare me with a lawyer and I suggested that a lawyer is actually an incredibly good idea - let's get it going. Nothing heard after that, but I will need to push again tomorrow.

You also need patience, patience of a winemaker that is [emoji106][emoji16].

the time is now!  after all those beautiful plants and pods you've grown. it would be a shame to not take the next logical step.

Great job on all your plants!  They are all huge and will be big producers!  Bravo!
Thanks, Ben. I'm hoping for an extended season
into the Fall to make up for the Spring setback so
the 'Summer' pods have time to ripen. At least the
plants in the small pots can be moved around to
sunny locations and then into the greenhouse if needed.
 
The last I looked your grow was poised to take off.
How's it doing now?
