btw. that CAP 1144 is a C. praetermissum, not a C. chacoense.

You are absolutely correct. I had it correct in my seed listing. Thanks for the help.

Looking good man! I hear ya on the weeding. I am lucky enough to have mostly raised beds where they've been beaten back for years, and I still have trouble keeping up. When I used to have a patch that big planted I used a hoe for most of it. Can't wait to see pics of the pepper wading pool once its all grow'd up!

Quick little update from the beds this morning...

Purple UFO

Peito de Moca

Cool looking pods RTF ... is that just normal grass clippings around your plants??

Indeed sir. It does a decent job keeping the weeds down and is a nice source of N.

Nice Dan... We are finally getting some consistant temps and the plants are loving it. 10 day looks good but we need some rain.

 

[RedtailForester]

Yeah, we are expecting heavy rain and thunderstorms here tomorrow. Chances are the farmer's market I'm a member of will be scrubbed for tomorrow. Gives me an excuse to rent the kitchen and build up some inventory!

Yeah my parents always used the grass clippings on their vegetable gardens and orchard for the same reasons and they actually last for quite a while too if you spread them thick enough.

Nice Purple UFO, how's the taste?

 

[RedtailForester]

Not sure yet on the Purple UFO. This is my first season with that variety. Will advise. . .

6/19/2012 UPDATE

Here are some growlog updates from this morning...

Lots of Rocoto fruit set going on

Bhut Jolokia (CPI) - fair amount of blossoms

White Fatalii - trying to fix a nitrogen or iron deficiency with this guy

St. Helena Island yellow pepper

 

[stc3248]

The St. Helena is one healthy looking little bush! Question...how much sun is your rocoto getting? I have two plants getting huge, but having problems with fruit set. Been mixing up their sun exposure a bit to see if that fixes it. Was thinking they were getting too much N but I haven't been feeding them anything for a while, and they're still not setting. Growing like weeds though!

 

[RedtailForester]

My rocotos are in full sun. We've been having relatively mild weather here (until this week) so I'm happy to see some fruit set. I'm seeing a couple blossoms dropping with the heat and rain but only time will tell.

 

[saugapepper]

RedTail: LOTS OF ROCOTOS!! I want more of your sauce.

 

[romy6]

Plants are really starting to bush out Dan. I see lots of yummy sauce in your near future

White Fatalii

Seed source??? Curious of the outcome.

Regular Fresno

Wow, are all of your Fresno pods pointing to the sky or is it just a handful of them?

 

[RedtailForester]

Seed source??? Curious of the outcome.

I believe these came from a friend of mine in Europe.

Wow, are all of your Fresno pods pointing to the sky or is it just a handful of them?

I just discovered there are two cultivars of Fresno. The "regular" Fresno has pods that points upward and the Fresno Supreme has pods that hang.
