"Welcome to the New Year/ New Season!"

Looking good Paul. Your post actually answered a question I had about the current temps we are having, hovering from mid 40's to mid 50's. So I took your lead and brought my plants inside as well - better safe than sorry!

Agreed. The plants can tolerate temps in the
mid 40's, but if it's windy, they suffer. This is
my least favorite time of the grow season.
Schlepping plants around daily usually leads 
to a few broken branches when they get this
tall in the small pots.
 
The JA Red Hanbaneros. The one with the
purple gene in back has set a couple of runty
pods. The more typical green foliage plant is
crazy flowering this season.

Better late than never.
 
Finally got a minute to update my plants. 
The following images were taken on April
30, 89 days from seed drop. Red numbers
are germination percentages.

Plant on the right has the purple tint, has set a handful of pods.

Looks like two different phenotypes on the two
Aji Strawberry Drop pods. The ones on the left
are more like a Aji Lemon Drop. The Sugar Rush
Red pods look true to form.
 
Back row: Tasmanian Black, Bou 2020  33%
                 Mr. Sausage Yellow (Sri Lanka Chili yellow)  100%
Front row: Orange Spice Jalapeño G2, lespaulde 2019  100%:

The Tas is going to be a great bush; lots of pods already set.
 
Rocotos are ready to go outside. Maybe in a week or so.
Rocoto Montufar, Skullbiker 2019 or 2020  84%
Peruvian Red G5  100%
San Pedro Orange F2, orig. CaneDog  67%

Hey PJ, your plants are really looking great and they seem to enjoy the little sun bath! 
I don't know about the Aji strawberry drop current generation nor its stability. Last year mine were about 3 inches long by 3/4 in wide. Medium-thick walled, crunchy and fairly good producer too. 
 
As for the Tasmanian Black, your seeds also came from me, not from Plantguy76 ;)
 
Look'n good! I had a day about 2 weeks ago when I went out of town and didn't tell my wife to turn off the heater in the green house... I cooked some of the foliage on a few. I didn't loose any, but I have a few that shed off a bunch of leaves and stunted. Yours look like they have never seen stress.

You are right, Bou. Somehow I got pg76's name
next to the Tas black in my grow list. I had it right
in the beginning, but I screwed up somewhere
cutting and pasting along the way !My sincere
apologies, SB  :oops: 
 
I can't wait to see the TB in it's full glory this summer!

Thanks, Andrew, been lucky so far. Correcto on
the greenhouse heater - It would be nice to have
a self-regulating greenhouse  :rofl:  Glad the
losses were minimal.

I tried, The timers were popping the reset switch on my power strip. Going to town today, should add that to my list! ore hell with it make a 4 slot Jbox. Maybe i can find a water proof box or something.
 
Time to plant-out the Rocotos. Lowest night
temps seem to be most all lower forties in the
long range forecast. The Rocotos should be
able to tolerate that okay. Time will prove me
a fool or not    :rofl: .

Both of these are in #10 nursery pots. I think the
other three will go in 3-gallon pots so I can find
them a shady location.
 
Warmer week weather-wise allowed me to start
setting plants out. Right now the pots are heeled-in
to the big containers to give the plants a chance to
adapt to their particular locations. So far, so good.
A couple of 40˚F nights coming in the next week, but i
f we get past those okay, we should be good to go.
That is, of course, unless the June Suck raises it's
cold, cloudy head!
 
Here's the purple-gene JA Red Habanero flanked by
a CARDI Red Scorpion and a Yellow Scorpion. All
are setting pods:

Tasmanian Black and Sri Lanka Chili cross. The
seeds for the latter came from upright yellow pods
courtesy of Don't Panic. These don't look the same.
No telling what this F3 cross will bring!:

A couple of 'nons' to add some color to the post...

A bit overcast today, so may be able to grab a few images of the plants.
 
Been busy getting plants out into their spaces
for plant-out and potting on a few into #2 and
3-gallon containers. Most seem to be doing
okay outside. We are in the middle of two nights
of 40-degree lows, so the cumbria and smaller
plants are in the greenhouse for a couple of nights.

today:
