To answer your question, I was moving cups around one evening and managed to drop a 3" tall seedling snapping the stem. Couldn't recover it. Just for poops and chuckles, I threw a couple more seeds in the tray. Maybe I'll get a PDN yet...

Your plants look wonderful Dan!
The Rocotos look like they are screaming to get outside!
And I cant wait to watch the progress on your Mini Mini!
Great job man!

Well that sucks! Stop juggling whilst moving cups maybe?

I've been a bit gun shy putting plants out this season with all the crazy weather around. It has been bouncing around the 40's at night and we have even had a couple in the upper 30's. I couldn't take it anymore and threw a few more plants outside. Enjoy the pics.

Looks like we are in for another week of rain and thunderstorms. May wait to move the bulk of my plants until after this front.

I'm waiting to show off the rest of my babies until I get this flea beetle problem under control in my northern raised bed. 40+ plants in that one, all chewed in some degree by those little bastards. DE sprinkled everywhere and it looks like a warzone...

Here are some updated pictures...

Negative on the chiltepin, so I just grew two more from seed (one from Texas and another from Sonoran seeds).

Nope, that was from seed from last years plants. The Sonoran was Guerilla Chef down in Flagstaff, AZ.

Here's a nice picture of the flower buds starting on my rocotos. Can't wait to see those flowers!

My rocotos are starting to bud, too. Got a surprise as well - the flowers on my purple cayennes and purple jalapenos (first time growing these) are purple, too! I did not realize an annuum would put out purple flowers.
