I haven't posted any pictures for a little while since I was embarrassed about the sunburned plants. I figured what the heck, so here ya go...

Everyone is itching to go in the ground!

The brood from another angle. Trying to get organized...

Some bad weather coming your way. Calling for possible flurries next week,lows in mid to to 30's.

RedtailForester · May 11, 2013

Yeah, the hoophouse heaters will be running full blast for the next couple of nights. What about in the 'Burgh?

This is what we are looking like.

Like the greenhouse looks really big

Hope that the bad weather is not to severe, I had my plants out for another three days, but tonights temps will drop down into the upper 30's, so back inside they came all 150 of them. My bad back really hurts I will have to take some meds tonight, after which I'll be in Lah Lah Land.
Your plants look really good, I'm glad that I don't have that many to drag inside, how many C. tovarii did you grow?
I tried to grow some last year I got 5 seeds and I babied them and waited and waited and not one green hook after 3 months, so I tossed them into my big plant pot, boy I was dissapointed had the same thing happen to the galapagoense and flexuosum that I got, waited forever and no luck at all with them.
I read some where that you needed to have at least two plants as some of them are self steril and you need a second plant to get results for viable seeds for the flexuosum, lanceolatum and one or two others. When I get another heat mat I may give them another go, especially for the Eastern Brazilian types.

That doesn't sound right. As far as I know, all Capsicums are self-pollinated. If you need some more galapa seeds, let me know and I'll gladly send you some more. Growing wilds will definitely test your patience and belief in a higher power :pray:

Nightshade · May 11, 2013

I was reading a link I think I shared it on p-sons glog it was about flexousums not being able to self pollinate

Yup I read the same article too before i became a member here...

RedtailForester · May 12, 2013

I stand corrected. Just another reason to love wild varieties!

Nightshade · May 12, 2013

You might not be corrected that was one mans experience and wilds are still being researched and I have heard about self pollinating flexousums. I am hoping to learn a few things from my exclusive wild grow coming up
