PepperSproutFarm 2022

Another year has begun. This year as the last season comes to an end. Tonight Jan2 is our first frost of winter. So as I'm thinking of the grow season ahead. I am also pulling my final harvest. Had a terrible 2021 season due to Hurricane Ida. But I learned a lot about preparing for such an event.
Still working on this year's list but do have several varieties that I will be germinating today.

Yellow rocoto
Big Chocolate Mama
7 pot primo
7 pot Douglah
Red Naga Brain
Red Bhut Jolokia
Chocolate Bhut Jolokia
Death Spiral
Mustard habanero with thick wall (pheno hunt for a friend)

Nice batch of color to round out the 2021 season,
@peppersproutfarm! Nice to see someone grow-
ing an old school Red Bhut Jolokia. One of my favorite
BJ's to grow.

here's to a great 2022 season! No hurricanes!

@PaulG I did not grow them in 2021 and I really miss having red ghost peppers. It's always a gamble living on the Gulf Coast. Taller plants will all have cages this year.

Got busy yesterday. Seeds in soil today. Added a few more to the list so I could fill the first two trays.
Ajvarski
Lesya (very sweet)
Aji Cachucha
Buena Mulata
Puma pepper
Leutschauer (paprika)

Looks like a great start to the year! Cant wait to see them all come up!

 

[peppersproutfarm]

Nothing too spectacular show yet but almost every variety has at least one seedling. All but yellow rocoto and red bhut. I expect many more to sprout over the next week.

 

[peppersproutfarm]

Most varieties have started with varied success. 4 varieties yet to germinate. Yellow rocoto, red and chocolate bhut, and douglah. Loving the early color on these Buena Mulata sprouts.

Very nice color indeed!

Well my grow list is FUBAR. A few cold nights having to bring them back in from outside have definitely stunted them. Have not had any new growth in a couple of weeks. I've decided to start some seeds and buy some starters from local nurseries which will affect my variety. But I've managed to get some beds prepped in a few things in the ground. Sweet banana peppers as requested by my wife (got to keep her happy), jalapeno, orange habanero, and I plan on planting some Serrano today.

Plants in the ground!
Can’t argue with that

 

[peppersproutfarm]

Picked up a couple of healthy reaper plants about 6 - 7 in tall.

 

[peppersproutfarm]

Picked up what was labeled "Passillo" he had only this one left so I made some room. Don't know much about the variety myself.

 

[peppersproutfarm]

Banana peppers are filling out nicely

 

[peppersproutfarm]

Had some wind over the last week or so that caused this reaper to explode with new growth. Will be pruning soon.

 

[peppersproutfarm]

Starting to set pods on most my annuums

This jalapeno split in three branches. I'm expecting great production from this plant

 

[peppersproutfarm]

Serrano plants doing good.

Red habanero plants are setting pods
