Chinenses got out for a little sun today.
First time under the real UVs!:

I love how random the setup is... good looking plants

Great looking plants, I love the color on the foliage

You are gonna have a lot of chilis again this year, Paul! I wish I had as much time and space as you do :-) I have so many projects this summer that I'm basically looking at a 10-chili grow just to keep time manageable.

Sometimes the idea of a 10-chili grow seems
very attractive, Mika

I just stick 'em where I can find a space :rofl:

That would be like 3 large containers for me. Easy peasy! [emoji6]

Three very large containers, cause you grow pepper trees [emoji16][emoji106].

Good to see the plants in the sun. And, they look great!
Heck chunk the Annuums out there too.

They're not so picky

They are getting some sun today, and were
out yesterday, too, as well as the veggies.

Getting real close to plant-out. Nightime temps
look good for the next few weeks, actually all
the way through June. I may heel in a few chinenses
to see how they fare. Pretty windy here for the
next two days, so will probably not put them out
for full exposure today or tomorrow.

Good on ya, Paul! Glad your weather is cooperating, ours, not so much. Lots of freezes coming, I'm afraid...but hey--there's always lemonade!

Sorry you are having the drizzlin’ s**ts weather,
my friend! We have some rain coming as well,
but not too much. Just enough to make the
weeds grow.

Night temps stabilizing, so that’s the good news.

Nice triple fork on the Red Scotch Bonnet:

Chinenses out in the sun yesterday.
They seem to have a pretty good tolerance for all-day sun:

The broken off Sugar Rush Cream was suffering a
little from too much sun, so had to put up a little sun
shade. Seems to be doing better:

The two larger baccatums seem to be holding their own.
Waiting for more new growth to start pushing out from the
nodes:

Seems like it was pretty sunny in your neck of the woods Paul, we had our share too - at least I wasn't ready for 80F+ highs this early in the year! It might be a hot summer.

PaulG · May 11, 2020

Potted up a couple of wilds.

C. cardensaii, flowering and setting pods:

Putapario, Argentina, c. Chacoense:

We bottomed out @ 22 his morning, the garage got down to 39, but the kids are on a heating pad, I'm sure it's confusing to them...

Today is supposed to be the last freeze, all 40s and high 30s for the foreseeable, according to "them". "They" are forecasting 80 for next Monday...

Your grow looks 5X5, man! The regional AG shows here say this may be the worst growing season in 80 years. I don't really believe them either, but I approach EVERY season as potentially the worst season, that way I'm not as disappointed...

Looks like we are back to a normal Spring, HM!

Okay by me, May is too early for 80+˚F weather.
Same thing the last couple of seasons, both
followed by lousy June weather that really slowed
down progress. Hope this year is different.

Eighty years? :shocked:

Egads, talk about adding insult to injury!

Good to see all the plants out basking in the sun

We had a couple of cool days, but 90° again :rolleyes:

5 inches of rain just North and East of us. We got 2 tenths??

I think since March the garden has gotten a bit over 2 inches..I don't ever remember watering this much before July.

I hope your weather holds Paul
