Here're a few pics from the last couple days. I've started planting out some in 3 gal containers. I think about 14 so far, and have 26+ more, then 40 in ground. Got my first flower and first pod starting to form too.

The flower is on an Albanian Red Hot.

This baby pod is on a Tomato Pepper.

Here are a few of the pot-ups

Some of what's left...

I need to make another trip to the Ag Store and get more soil mix stuff this week.

Getting a lot more pot ups done, around 35 so far, plan to do a few more today.

Few group pics.

Some closeups.

Light isn't too great here, but you can see the pod on this Albanian Red Hot.

Pineapple Rocoto

Ecuadorian Red Rocoto

Purplish pheno hand grenade

Found this cute fella under one of the pots, ringneck snake

Have you grown pubescens before?

Hopefully you can get some pineapple rocotos to set...wanna hear if they actually taste kinda like a pineapple...

This is my first time growing any pubescens. I've never eaten one either. Really looking forward to it. I've challenged myself to do a review of every type of pepper I'm growing this year. If I get some I'll let you know, and post video/pics. One of them already has some buds forming on it.

Its my first time growing rocotos as well don't know how they are going to do but have my two planted in a big pot outside only peppers planted out still hardening off the first wave.
I also never eaten one but the pineapple rocoto sounded good.
Seems like Judy had one on here site that she said did good in Tennessee if these don't work I might try them if I can find them can't remember what they was called
Best of luck peter this season!

Thanks Jason! Wishing you great season as well. If these don't produce, I'm hoping to get some off the Ecuadorian Reds. I got the impression from her description that they were easier to grow than some of the others. I figure can always overwinter them till next year too.

Peter S · May 3, 2015

I planted out most of everything yesterday.

Walmart Reaper

Devil's Heart

Devil's Horn

Peach Bhut

Our horticulture program at work had a plant sale Friday. Not that I need more plants, but picked up these nice looking red habs.

Peter S · May 6, 2015

A few pics from this morning.

First flower on one of the Pineapple Rocotos.

Almost all of the container plants, plus a few that still need planting.

Six I planted in ground along rock wall.

Over-winters

I don't have a new pic, but the 20 I have in the garden are looking really nice.

PaulS · May 6, 2015

Some really nice pictures Peter your garden and plants look great

A nice surprise to find a snake too! I think my dog would go nuts

Thanks! Yeah, it was really cool seeing the snake. Hope my wife never reads this glog though, she's incredibly phobic of them.

Update from yesterday/this morning.

Video of all my plants

Most of the container plants.

Albanian Red Hot pod

Tomato Peppers

Aleppo

Aji Habanero pods

Normal Chocolate Hand Grenade

Purplish pheno Chocolate Hand Grenade

First pod from the purple hand grenade. Maybe this will give an indication of the other parent plant.

One of my 7-Pot Rennie Chocolates. Something broke it in half. Not sure what happened. It's in the fenced in garden. I was mowing around just before I noticed it. Maybe a rock or something got thrown in there. Just a guess. It might grow back, I'll leave it alone.

juanitos · May 14, 2015

that hand gernade normal looks good.

Scorched · May 15, 2015

Like the video tour. Plants look really good and you've got some decent size pods all ready. Curious to see how that purple hand grenade turns out. Those two leaves left on the Rennie look healthy. It should bounce back great. Something just topped it for ya lol.

Thanks for taking a look. Yeah, I'm hoping that guy pulls through. I have hope.

Great looking plants in the video but sorry to see the Rennie ... I lost the top of my Infinity to the window cleaners ladder .. at least yours looks like a clean break and as Tony says leaves either side are healthy ... fingers crossed for a rapid recovery

Thanks! I really hope it makes it too. Fortunately though, if it doesn't I've got two more of them growing.
