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

Found a few ripe pods upon getting back from vacation.
Cloudy, wet weather almost the whole time we were gone.
Everything pretty waterlogged when we rolled in. Shut off
the irrigation, so starting to dry out a little.

A few nice Scorpions in the bag:

Clockwise from top, Yellow Scorpions, orange Bhut Jolokia chocolate,
F5 PDN x BMJ, JA Red Habaneros, BHut Jolokia Red and 7 Pot Pecan,
F7 Violet.

Some Purple Thunder pods for seed. The BJh-2. Pods are unique.
The other three plants have pods that are more or less similar. The
BJh Mystery seems to have generally larger pods:

Welcome back Paul!  Looks like the rainy season is on us now.
 
Hope you had a blast on vacation!  And what a great bunch of ripe pods to come home to.
Thanks, CD. We enjoyed our trip to Ireland very
much. It is a beautiful country with friendly folk. You
are right about the rain, although this little stretch of
a few days is better. We had great weather on the
Emerald Isle except for one day.

It was nice to see some ripe pods finally. Unfortunately the
rain really over soaked everything, so lost some pods to
splitting and stem rot. Still got a respectable amount, though.
We need more good weather or some varieties will be left
with 50% unripe pods.

Looks like there will be more Habaneros, Scorpions, Rocotos
and bonnets, with a little luck. Lots of pods left on the Costeño
Amarillo, Goats Weed, and YBS, but not many ripe ones still.

Scorpions:

Some MoA bonnets:

Will try to get a pic of the Habanero plant later today.
 
Great harvest Paul. What variety of Red Rocoto is that? Excellent specimen. Got me thinking of trying Rocotos one more time lol.

Looking great, Paul!
 
Nice to see that your plants (and you) can enjoy the sun :).
 
Any particular reason you've got everything lifted off the ground?
 
Thomas
  
We have enjoyed a few sun rays lately. Gives
us a little hope for the Fall. Plants off the ground
to lessen soil born insect and disease transmission,
and to save the ol Back a little!

Thanks, DR. These are descendants of some Peruvian seed
brought back from Peru by a friend some years back.

earlier in the summer. Hope your are going to get a nice weather
break to end the season!
