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!

Hey Scott, glad to hear the purple crosses are thriving!
 
 
Speaking of crosses, the 'Purple Thunder' test-tube
baby pods are coloring up in the little bit of sun we've had.
 
The photos do not do justice to the colors in reality.
Reminds me of the Crayola color Burnt Orange, or
maybe a dusky red, depending on the lighting.

 I am a little behind from where I was at this point last year...

I think that is true across the board, Ben,
except for some of the southern locales.
 
I figure the crappy May/June weather set my
plants back by about 4-6 weeks. Lots of no-growth
and leaves turning yellow for a long time with potting
soil very wet.
 
We still have yet to have some really nice weather for
more than two days.

Same here May too wet and too cool. June WAY too wet. Easily 4 weeks behind by my estimate on many of my plants. A few were not phased at all but anything in dirt is way behind vs last year. Mostly good weather last week then a little rain. This week is supposed to be good.
 
 
Took one of the 'Purple Thunder' hybrid pods today.
So hard to catch the colors in a photo, so took several
to give the idea of what it looks like.

Finally got a view with minimal glare/reflection.

I see it as sort of a burnt orange color with dark purple
shading.

Gorgeous pics, both on the pod and Azalea. That pod has a really interesting colour, never seen such a shade of red before. Please do let us know how you find it's flavor! :)

Will try to get that done today!
 
Oh wow, that purple... red... orange... whatever coloration is pretty freaking sweet!
 
And I'm not usually a non-pepper-flower person, but that is a really nice azalea. :)

Thanks, 'Fish. Got the azalea from a nursery in central Oregon.
If I remember correctly, they called it Shiryu No Homare.
I suppose a cultivar from Japan?
 
I can't wait to get some sun for more than a day on those pods.
They are almost translucent-looking in the right light.

Ha! That's a fun coincidence. I'll have to mention it to my wife; she's lost a few plants outside with the weather finally starting to heat up, maybe she can find one.

Yeah, definitely. I'm with CD; really curious about how they taste.
