Loving that fence box setup Paul, I think I'm +3, +4 or +5 on that!  Plants are looking great and can't believe how many peppers they are busting out.  I was able to get my single SRP seed to germinate and I am hoping it grows true (got it from WHP).

Thanks, buddy! Good luck with your SRP.
 
The baccatums have done very well during
the indoor-under-lights part of the grow. All
three have set a good number of pods. The
only one not flowering/setting yet is the
Bird Aji wild out on the fence shelf with the
rest of the wild varieties.

How does the pod phenotype compare to
the Sugar Rush Cream you grew last season?

I would say yours are more apple shaped, but they are young. The pods on this years plants look the same as last years, which was my first time growing them.

This pair of c. eximium are one of my
favorite wild plants:

Marvelous!!! Splendiferis!!!!
Stupencular!!!!

......GRRRRRRREAT stuff, Paul!!!!


The ducks. Incredibly, they hide better than the surveying squirrels.

 

[PaulG]

A couple more of my favorites. Really wanting to
get these out in their 3-gallon containers soon.

Thanks, Adam!

Haha, buddy, that’s funny.

I like eximium a lot too. I really like the taste of the pods, but there's so little to each pod and a good amount of somewhat tough seeds.  I need to find a way to process them.  About all I can come up with is running a bunch through a food mill for a little bit of sauce.  But for the seeds they'd be great for dry crumbles.

That’s pretty much how I use all my wild pods, CD.
Anything else is too much of a hassle. The seeds
are the real downside, for sure.

Finally got around to transplanting the annuum seedlings.
Seems like it takes me forever to get around to doing
anything these days! 
 
The cotyledons have been helping support them:

 

[Tybo]

Looks good Paul!  The puta pario and eximium's are some of my favorites also.  Wait........I think I like them all.

Oh, crud, I just realized I put the wrong caption
on the second pic in post #583. These serial senior
moments are starting to get me down. Now I’ll have
to post a pic of the Putapario and label it cardenasii!

at least you got a reason, I’m 36 and have these senior moments

...this was the wrong thread for the post that was here. Sorry.

I call that preparation

I call that preparation

 

definitely prepping for the golden years   that’s if my wife hasn’t poisoned me by then

Took my plants outside for some insecticidal
soap today, and the wind blew my Sugar Rush
Cream off the table and broke off the two best
branches and all but one small pod. I said some
bad words. Guess I won’t be trying any of those
pods anytime soon.

 

[PaulG]

Put three of the rocotos into their final containers
today. Will plant out the others tomorrow, along
with the baccatums.

Hyperpube X Yellow:

That's an "empathy" like.  That's really crappy.  Sounds like you had similar winds to ours.  Hope they recover strong.  Developed root systems can really accelerate the re-growth.

Thanks, bud. I am sure the plant will recover
in good form, but I was really looking forward
to tasting those pods in the near future!
 
A bunch of plants blew over, but that one was
the only one to take a header off the table. Dang.

the secret to finishing those pods is to cut the stems fresh and put in hydro nutes, even if they’re outside they will ripen completely.
had stem rot on couple of mine and they had peppers not quite ripe and worked like a charm.
